Shad Blair
Westbound
emptypixels
Texas singer/songwriter Shad Blair was born and raised on a cattle ranch southeast of Post, Texas, learning to play guitar and sing from his dad and older brothers. He wore out his parents' old country vinyl, spending the long Texas summers soaking up the music of Merle Haggard, Gene Watson, Johnny Cash, Bobby Helms, and Hank Williams. At age 14, Shad's father taught him to play "Fraulein" and soon after he began playing gigs, later working in the oilfields to put himself through college. Over the years, Shad has created a sound hardened by life experience and steeped in his influences including Willie Nelson, Townes Van Zandt, and Steve Earle, to name a few.

Westbound is a kicked-up, energetic, acoustic duo from Houston, Texas featuring Rebecca Ferguson on lead vocals and John Stoll on acoustic guitar, backing vocals and stomp-box percussion. Together they present listeners with soft, sweet jazzy songs, greasy blues, classic rock, Americana, and outlaw country, all in a great mix of crowd pleasers ranging from classic to modern, including a variety of less-often heard compositions.
emptypixels
Originally trained in classical and choral singing, Rebecca strayed from that path and began finding her true voice in blues, Americana and jazz. From there she developed a love of songwriting, fascinated by the endless potential a song has to tell a story or share a moment. Rebecca holds the audience captive with a versatile voice suited for everything from raunchy blues to sweet serenades.
emptypixels
John has found his voice beside Rebecca. For 17 years, he has played different instruments in rock bands all over Texas, and is defined by the music he plays. John approaches music with a fire and a passion matched by nothing else in his life, so much so that he regularly and happily loses both sleep and guitar strings in the quest to take the music higher.
emptypixels
The duo is currently writing and recording their debut album, Blackjack Road. Whether playing originals or covers, Westbound has its own voice, and always brings a ton of energy and fun to the stage!

Texas Songwriter Showcase
Some of the best singer songwriters from around the state of Texas grace the JPHH stage on the second Friday of each month. The featured artists for this evening's showcase is Carrie Elkin.
Carrie Elkin: A troubadour in the most classic fashion, Elkin has ridden a Gypsy breeze of serendipity for the last ten years, landing for a time in Cleveland, Athens, Taos, Steamboat Springs, Colorado Springs and Boston, finally coming to settle in Austin, TX in the summer of 2007. It’s exactly this sort of openness to the people and places that pass through her life, and to the opportunities that might emerge in every new and particular circumstance, that grew to become the very process by which Elkin somehow managed to find herself in the midst of some of Austin’s finest musicians and producers, literally, within days of arriving in town. While already making quite a buzz around the Austin scene with her highly spirited and spontaneous performances, Elkin spends the majority of her time on the road still, touring nationally and in the UK and Europe.
Willie B: Willie describes himself as a bluesy guitar player, but he is so much more. He is a gifted and diverse guitar player who writes and performs in many musical genres. Willie writes and sings songs around the people in his life. He has been a past recipient of HFBSA's "Song of the Year" and "Songwriter of the Year". Willie has recorded four albums to date and is currently working on his fifth solo project.
The Texas Songwriters' Showcase is the longest running showcase in Houston. These songwriters will take to the stage to entertain you with colossal musical talent and wide-ranging experience ... you will not be disappointed.

This is not a formal meeting, program, showcase or critique format- just writers hanging out with other writers, giving and getting some inspiration. We will do a “song circle” style of gathering, for writers to try out a new song or two and get feedback from fellow writers.  You do not have to be a member of NSAI to attend or participate. Go to http://myspace.com/nsaihoustonnorthmetro for more information, or send an email to nsai.houstonnorthmetro@gmail.com.
