Patti Guyer Book Signing & Release Party
Patti Guyer started writing almost as soon as she started reading, writing a play for the neighborhood children to perform in the backyard at the age of five. Patti's brand new literary release, Skipping Stones, is a collection of poetry written from the heart. The book documents her journey from childhood to adulthood with poetry written at times for pleasure and at other times for survival. Skipping Stones will seamlessly slide you from joy to sadness to anger to elation and every emotion in between.
After growing up in a very small Texas town, Patti currently enjoys living in Houston with her two cats, Gracie and PITA. Her biggest joys in life are her two daughters and two grandsons. She enjoys writing poetry, fiction, lyrics, painting, drawing, and is a singer/songwriter.
There will be a mix of music and poetry throughout the night. Special guests are Lisa Loftin, Mo Eden, Glynace Eastham, Gary Seber, Chelsea Miller, Kenyon Saylor White, Pat Bishop, Peggy Neff, Will Herrin, Willie B, Amber Cranfill, Allison Bentley, Mike Darnell, Otis Futhermucker, Beverly Shirkey, Chris Stiteler, The Hanshaws, Larry Englebretson and Margie Smith. We are honored that Patti has asked JP Hops House to host her book signing and release party.

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 are Mike Darnell and Bill Aspinwall.
Mike Darnell: Local Houston singer/songwriter, Mike describes his music as “the flues”, an amalgamation of folk and blues. A native Texan, his compositions include historical ballads that capture snapshots of Texas and American history. His song “The Liberty Tree” was selected to be included on Songs from the Stack, a HAAM compilation CD. Mike performs solo and with the infamous Big Lizard Boys. He is currently working on his third CD release, tentatively titled No Mango is an Island
Bill Aspinwall: A member of the semi-notorious Big Lizard Boys, Bill writes songs that span numerous genres. He is a proud member of the HAAM and the Houston/Ft. Bend Songwriters Association.  He was awarded the HFBSA Songwriter of the Year and Song of the Year for 2005. That same year The Big Lizard Boys released their debut CD, Pick Yourself Up, recorded at White Cat Studios and produced in association with Jack Saunders. 
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.

The Hudsons CD Release Party

The Hudsons are quite possibly the hardest-working folk group in Austin. Brian Hudson and Hudson Mueller have been playing together in some fashion for over six years now. Over the years the duo have accomplished great things. The Hudsons have won multiple awards, including Best Folk Band from the Austin Music Awards. They've toured all over the U.S. and Canada, producing three albums, three bumper stickers, two t-shirts and a koozie. They've even created a whole new business model for small-time bands--playing out so often that your career imitates a regular job. And most impressively of all, they've garnered a diverse and loyal following in Central Texas.

Matt Harlan, Glynace, Dodd Eastham
Matt Harlan is a songwriter's songwriter, composing scenic landscapes and pointed statements disguised as songs ... often non-linear, but always melodic. Matt took First Place in the 2006 American Songwriter Lyric Contest for his song "Waiting For Godot." His debut CD, Live and Rambling, will be available at the show.
Glynace writes in a number of genres, basically folk and childrens’, and her lyrics come straight from the heart. Her love of music is as contagious as her "homespun" tunes; and originals like "Louisiana Rain" and "Mama Pearl" can leave you slapping your knee and singing the choruses long after she leaves the stage.
Dodd Eastham is a dynamic acoustic player, an impressive finger-picker and is JP Hops House best kept secret. Being an avid history buff, many of Dodd's musical interpretations of cover songs reflect his love of bygone times. He possesses a rich, deep singing voice which makes you feel ... good.
