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. Thus far, the featured artist for this evening's showcase is Ken Gaines & Gary Seber.
Ken Gaines: “A singer songwriter with a beautifully clear voice and articulate guitar accompaniment, Ken has played and studied a lot of music, but it’s obvious that he’s also studied himself and his craft and is committed to finding what’s original and at the same time, universal in his experiences.”
~ Max Biedenharn,
Mississippi Coast Magazine
Gary Seber: When you first hear Gary play, you may find it impossible to believe that you're hearing just one musician! He has studied the "acoustic percussive fingerstyle" of Preston Reed with it's two-handed fretboard attack. Gary's debut CD, entitled Candle Power, features the highly innovative but little-known technique of playing the neck of an open-tuned guitar, coaxing an amazing abundance of sound from the solo instrument.
Jeff Hoofard: Jeff has been playing drums for local and national acts since 1986 sharing the stage with such icons as Bo Diddley and Chubby Checker as well as some of Texas’ best acoustic artists. He has been the percussionist of choice on several recording projects and is currently playing with Willie B & The Silverbacks. Jeff is our "house" percussionist.
Michael Pope: Co-founder and co-host of this showcase, Michael has been writing songs for a couple years now. Many of his original's are open tuned, 5 finger picking, folk jazz instrumentals, but his lyrics are strong and reflect his life's experiences. Michael recently released his debut album.
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 won "Song of the Year" and "Songwriter of the Year" in HFBSA. Willie has recorded four albums to date.
The Texas Songwriters' Showcase always fills the stage with vast musical experience, guaranteeing that the show will be an exhilarating musical phenomenon! Come experience the phenom!

Big Lizard Boys together with
Stan & Paul
Sharing a night of music, magic and merriment, Big Lizard Boys has paired up with Stan and Paul. This combination has it all - great pickers, great songs, comedy and magic.
Comprised of band members Bill Aspinwall, Mike Crippen and Mike Darnell, Big Lizard Boys incorporate guitar, banjo, mandolin, bass and harmonica into an eccentric blend of folk, rock and blues. Influences include a whole lotta bands (even a few musicians) (and all their splintered offspring), John Fahey’s dog, and a whole lotta the classic and contemporary blues masters. Playing predominantly original material, they add a few traditional and classic tunes to their set list and on occasion will bring out the infamous Cachaça Rhythm Section for some home brew, front porch, foot-stomping music with a Texas flavor.
Big Lizard Boys has invited Terry Rogers to take part in the fray as their "special guest" this evening. Terry will join the band towards the end of the first set and will be featured on harmonica and vocals on several songs. Terry is a harmonica player extraordinaire and plays Chicago style blues.
Stan and Paul are award-winning accoustic musicians who perform original music in and around Houston, Texas. Their songs generally focus on the fun and entertaining side of life. They have been described as “wonderfully witty” and “frickin’ funny,” and are often compared to The Smothers Brothers (quite a compliment).
This duo first came to us at an open mic and had instant fans! Since then, they have been a feature music act at Mudbug Madness I & II and at Spudstock IV. Stan and Paul chose JPHH to celebrate the release of their debut CD, The National Bank of Dad, this past April. In addition to their songwriting, Paul is an amazing magician and usually works in a little abracadabra during the night. They tickle my funny bone and will do the same for you!
Stan and Paul will play the opening set starting at 9:00. Then the Big Lizard Boys will join them for a couple of numbers and one awesome magic effect by Paul. He is going to levitate Mike Darnell of BLB.
This show should not be missed for any reason!!!

SORRY, THIS SHOW WILL BE RESCHEDULED
The Fowler Brothers graciously stepped up to fill in for Sugar Bayou.
November 18, 2006 - Saturday

Sugar Bayou
Sugar Bayou write and play eclectic acoustic music - joyful and complex, with ethereal vocals and instruments infused with folk, swingy bluesy jazz, Celtic, bluegrass, Cajun & South American traditions, plus a touch of Texas rockin’ country. Hard to describe, amazing to listen to.
Bob Oldreive: Bob has a musical pedigree the size of the Big Bend, and glorious voice to match. He plays amazing and lush guitar, and writes exquisite songs that are destined to live forever. In 1973, Bob and Joe Lindley formed Houston’s seminal country rock band, Dogtooth Violet. Their high energy shows garnered both critical acclaim and a loyal following, and their record is a highly coveted collector’s item. They opened for greats such as Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings, and would regularly pack the Texas Opry House, Liberty Hall, Miller Outdoor Theater, the Sweetheart of Texas and Rockefeller’s (to name a few).
April Rapier: April sang demos in Nashville and elsewhere for ten years, writing and performing in the US, Mexico, Central America and Europe. She plays guitar, mandolin, piano and spoons, and annoys her cats and dog with incessant banjo and accordion practice. She was a photographer and artist, her work residing in major museum, private and corporate collections here and abroad. She is completing her first novel, and would be finished by now if she could figure out what to call it.
Paul Kiteck: Born and raised in Kentucky bluegrass country, Paul is an experienced fiddler, having performed with groups from Colorado to North Carolina. He was a member of Houston's Lonestar Bluegrass Band for ten years, starting in 1988. He has several recording sessions to his credit, including Flying Fish Records, Lonestar Records, Don Sanders and Leeway (and soon to begin work on Sugar Bayou’s second CD). When he isn't playing music, Paul is an acoustic engineer in Houston, traveling all over the country for work. He also moonlights as a top-notch, highly sought-after sound engineer for festivals and events around Texas.
Robert Knetsch: Robert has performed and recorded with numerous musical artists and ensembles, representing a wide range of musical styles including jazz, classical, country, folk, rock and world music. In addition to bass/bass guitar he also plays drums/percussion, guitar and clarinet. Robert works from time to time as a CPA and lives in Houston with his dog Pearl.
Bill Browder: Bill began playing professionally with the Four Dudes, a Houston–area Temptations knock-off band in 1969. He joined Denim in the summer of 1970, and they were signed by two major labels in the mid– to late 70s. After Denim disbanded in 1980, he played with The Austin All–Stars and Duck Soup. Denim reformed in 1990, and is still recording and performing today. Other acts that Bill plays with are The Big Time, The Heroes, and Sugar Bayou. At the age of 4, Bill took a nap in Jayne Mansfields' bed.
Currently Bob and April are writing and the band is hard at work on their second, as-yet unnamed CD (April likes the sound of Whatever She Wants), which follows the incredible success of their first release, Nowhere But Gone, which was recorded at SugarHill Studios, produced by Robbie Parrish, co-produced by Bob and April.
