Shake Russell with The Fowler Brothers

The legendary Texas singer songwriter Shake Russell returns to JP Hops House with The Fowler Brothers as his band. The "boyz" stepped in to accompany Shake last March when fellow performer Michael Hearne was unable to make the performance. This combined effort proved to be a rockin' good time for all ... audience and performers. Join us for what promises to be another great "shakin" show.

Foscoe Jones & the Distractions

These high-energy Austin youths wowwed 'em on the westside when they debued here in October. In January the band chose JPHH for
the Houston launching of the band's new CD, A Song Like This, which was equally well-received.
  "They're really different. You know, good different...the kind of different that makes a difference!" ~ Pam
  "Foscoe has an amazing hypnotic voice that infuses itself into your soul and captivates you. His intensity and onstage presence draw you in and hold you there during his whole set." ~ Dallasmusic.com
Foscoe Jones & the Distractions' music is an eclectic mix of acoustic rock, old school country blues, and funky Americana.

Chris Collins, Jen Rathbun & Annie Benjamin
The always popular writer-in-the-round format returns tonight to feature three outstanding Texas talents. Chris Collins is a relative newcomer to the music scene in Houston, but he is quickly turning heads. He was chosen as one of the top ten regional singer songwriters at the 2002 Kerrville Folk Festival. Chris has a style all his own, a pleasant blend of his easy guitar style and his clear smooth voice. Jen Rathbun's ability to capture the audience with her voice and expression, united with her honest lyrics and skillful piano playing, sets her apart from other artists. Her songs cover a wide variety of topics from loss, to dating, and even to eating cereal. Annie Benjamin’s performance is stellar, from the command of her multi-register voice to her outstanding work on guitar and flute. No stranger to the campfires of Kerrville, Annie is a song circle favorite at the annual festival and a fabulous performer who makes her way around the state regularly.
