Noctoberfest (that's
Oktoberfest in November)
Mark
Halata & Texavia
Got polka shoes?
Join us tonight for beer, bratwurst and polka.
Mark Halata and his band, Texavia, have made
a name for themselves on the polka party scene.
Being Texas State Accordion Champion at the
age of 13 didn't exactly make Mark Halata a
big man on his junior high school campus during
the MTV '80s.
Mark is unfashionably in tune with the Czech-Moravian
music of his ancestry. He taught himself to
play during his formative years. The songs he
performs today are songs he has performed his
entire life.
So grab a cold beer, a dance partner and have
a listen. If you close your eyes, you may find
yourself in Hallettsville, Moravia, Praha, Shiner,
a country beer joint or a Catholic church picnic.
Welcome to Texavia, the Texas-Moravian accordion
heaven.
The evening is co-sponsored by Saint Arnold
Brewery.
Music, food & fun start
@ 8:00 pm
$10.00

you there with him...

Bobby
Bridger
& John
Inmon
Bobby Bridger, great-grand nephew of famous
American mountain man Jim Bridger, began
work on A Ballad of the West over
three decades ago. For over a quarter of a century
he has traveled the globe performing this historical
epic as a one-man show to audiences in America,
Canada, Europe, Australia and Russia.
|
|
Bobby
began his professional recording career in 1967
in Nashville. He has since wrote, produced and
recorded several albums including, Heal
In The Wisdom, Live At Kerrville.
Bridger
has performed on PBS’s Austin City Limits,
ABC’s Good Morning America, A &
E, National Public Radio and C-Span/BookNotes.
He
has performed at every Kerrville Folk Festival,
served on the festival’s board of directors
since 1978, wrote the festival’s anthem,
Heal In The Wisdom, and suggested
the popular “Ballad Tree” to festival
founder Rod Kennedy.
In
1988 Bobby was invited to Oxford University
to perform Heal In The Wisdom during
closing ceremonies or the First Global Forum
of Spiritual and Parlimentary Leaders on Human
Survival; featured presenters were the Dali
Lama, Mother Theresa, the Archbishop
of Canterbury, and Carl Sagan.
His
epic trilogy, A Ballad of the West
now runs in repertory each summer in Cody, Wyoming.
Bridger
is the author of a hardback and paperback edition
of A Ballad of the West and in November,
2002 the University of Texas Press published Bridger’s
Buffalo Bill and Sitting Bull: Inventing
The Wild West. He has also contributed
essays to anthologies on American western literary
giants John G. Neihardt and Frank Waters.
Bridger will teach one day a week at the University
of Texas each fall term through 2005.
|
|
His
peers know John Inmon as one of the finest
guitarists in Austin, Texas (and, considering
the competition, that is high praise indeed).
His fans know him as the signature guitar style
that has at one time or another propelled the
music of Townes van Zandt, Ray Wylie
Hubbard, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Joe
Ely, Delbert McClinton, Marcia Ball,
Omar and the Howlers, Lost Gonzo Band,
Bruce Robison, Pat Green, Michael
Martin Murphy, Keith Sykes, and most
famously, Jerry Jeff Walker, for over three
decades.
|
|
In
addition to performing with those artists, John
has also recorded with the cream of Texas' singer-songwriter
and country-rock communities. His album credits
include work with the aforementioned folks, as
well as sessions with Delbert McClinton,
Robert Earl Keen, Townes Van Zandt,
Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Willie Nelson,
Joe Ely, and even, God help him, Tom
Jones. (The eighties, as John and many others
have noted, was a strange decade).
| |
"I'm
very excited that John Inmon will be playing
with me. As a founding member of the legendary
Lost Gonzo Band, I'm honored he's
been my friend and associate for 35 years."
~ Bobby Bridger |
The
signature sound of Texas music has always resided
in the guitar. Our Lone Star State has always
been a hot bed of string-bending guitar wizards,
including one with the name, John Inmon.
Join
us, this will be an incredible show of legendary
Texas Music!

Fahl
& Folk
The
band Fahl & Folk is the newest vehicle for
David Fahl’s music. The basic sound
is the traditional folkie vocal, acoustic guitar,
and harmonica, with Michael Farber’s electric
bass adding a groove that turns up the energy
level way past the cliched mellow associated
(often in error) with the folksinger trip. This
pair is frequently augmented by Jimmy Deen on
acoustic and electric guitars, and Chaz Nadege
on keyboard and snare drum.
 |
The
Fahl & Folk sound is both familiar and innovative.
The instrumentation is simple and familiar-sounding.
The songs hit comfortable grooves and go places
where folksingers are seldom heard. Fahl’s
songs come from a perspective that uses all the
traditions we hear around us and twists them into
new combinations, telling stories about lovers,
murderers, and the helpless schmoes who just have
a hard time dealing with life in this bizarre
new millenium. When the band does a cover tune,
it’s rarely one from the standards of ‘classic
rock’, and it never sounds like the way you’re
used to hearing it.
So come hear for yourself!

Fertitta
and McClintock
Raised
in the port town of Beaumont Texas, these two
Forest Park High School mates were always involved
in music from an early age. Leaving Beaumont for
the big city of Houston, David Fertitta and Steven
McClintock performed for the Steak and Ale chain
as well as locking in the coveted club gig at
the
|
|
Lion
Bar for the famed Galleria Houston Oaks Hotel. It
was there Fertitta and McClintock’s unique
acoustic sound was formed and their versatile writing
skills honed. After a year they decided to head
for Los Angeles, where in 1977, the pair quickly
signed a publishing deal with Island Music (Lionel
Conway) and subsequently a record deal with the
legendary Clive Davis and his newly founded label
Arista Records.
Produced
by the multi platinum Canadian producers Fred Mollin
and Matthew McCauley celebrating a recent #1 international
hit with Dan Hill (Sometimes When We Touch), it
seemed that Fertitta and McClintock were on their
way. But as fate would have it, the business took
a dramatic musical change into disco followed immediately
by new wave and punk leaving Clive Davis and the
producers at odds as to what direction to take the
talented acoustic balladeers. The record was never
released.
The
duet ended and both went on different musical paths
collectively writing songs for movies and TV, commercial
jingles and many other recording acts. Starting
in the late 1970’s both had extensive cuts
as songwriters with such artist as Juice Newton,
Lorrie Morgan, Sixwire, Andy Williams, Tiffany,
ATC, David Pomeranzt, Victoria Shaw, Pat Boone,
Diamond Rio, Paul Jefferson, Rose Maddox and dozens
of foreign releases.
Advance
ahead 25 years to a chance meeting between the duo
and their former producer Fred Mollin in Nashville
at a Canadian industry event. Fred, having gone
on to produce America, Eddie Money, Jimmy Webb,
Kris Kristofferson to name a few, offered to finish
the record that was never released. Fertitta and
McClintock were back and on the move.
Recording
14 songs in Nashville with some of the finest musicians
alive today cutting songs from the past and present,
selling out their first three shows in Los Angeles
and basically continuing where they left off, this
talent vocal duo is primed and ready to finish the
job they started back in 1975. They are now seasoned
professionals with a vocal sound and original music
that rivals anything in the market place today or
yesterday.
Tonight
marks Fertitta and McClintock’s first performance
in Houston since 1975. We are extremely pleased
they have chosen JP Hops House for this memorable
event. Fellow high school mate, Brian Kalinec, will
present the opening set this evening.
