10th Annual John Prine Birthday Party

Musicians perform John Prine songs ALL NIGHT LONG! A fan's dream come true! All musicians interested in performing add your name to the list of "Prine" players as soon as you arrive. The evening's open mic format will allow a greater number and variety of artists to take part. There is one restriction: you must play John Prine songs only. A scrumtuous birthday cake, colorful balloons and a birthday card to relay everyone's wishes (we'll be sending it on to John), together with the music, will ensure a birthday celebration to remember.

Billy Bourbon Trio
Billy Bourbon is a singin’, songwritin’, country bluesman, son-of-a-@#$%. His songs are laced with women, whiskey and weed. Songs about birthdays and death; first loves and shooting your lover dead; suicide and raising kids; Billy covers it all. This is rockin’ Texas outlaw country at its best.
emptypixels
If you like Jerry Jeff Walker, Commander Cody, Guy Clark, John Prine, Jason Boland, Cross Canadian Ragweed, you'll dig Billy Bourbon.
emptypixels
Billy knows countless songs, and crafts his shows to suit the audience at hand, whether it’s rowdy college kids or their equally rowdy elders. As a lead guitarist he has shared the stage with Chris Duarte, Son Seals, Mason Ruffner, Jimmy Thackery, Smokin’ Joe Kubek, Rockin’ Jake, Tinsley Ellis, Papa Chubby, Dave Hole, Bernard Ellison, and countless others, while hosting a weekly Jam Night in a club he later came to own. As Billy puts it, “I jam, therefore I am”.

The current Billy Bourbon Band features veteran Texas musician Tom Rodgers on Bass, and Greg Babineaux on the Drums. Together they have a show that is funny, entertaining, and sells drinks!!!

It smells like country, tastes like rock-n-roll, and has creamy blues in the middle. Come and getcha some!!!!

White Beets
emptypixels
Mark Beets and Saylor White, two of the Houston area's most esteemed singer songwriters, have joined forces to become the White Beets. To their honor thus far, the duo was a winner at the Songwriters Serenade in 2009; individually Beets and White have each released award winning CDs, plus both have penned songs recorded by other artists.
East Texas born writer of songs, poetry and short stories, Saylor White has written over two thousand songs in his better than thirty years of word crafting, including "Dress of Lace" recorded and performed by Nanci Griffith and Lyle Lovett. Saylor is an amazing and prolific songwriter with a musical sense that comes as natural to him as breathing. He is co-owner of A Songwriters Studio in Houston, Texas.
Mark Beets has a sound which has been called "Organic Americana". It's fresh, different from most of the stuff out there today. In 2003 Long Ago & Many Days, Mark's debut collection of songs, was produced by White Cat Productions and Beets was a finalist in the Wildflower Festival songwriting competition. Mark's song "The Road's Not Long Enough" was selected as the lead single on The Houston Association of Acoustic Musicians' first compilation CD.

Every 4th Sunday JP Hops House will host a NSAI Sunday Songswap from 4:00pm to 6:00pm, followed by our traditional Sunday Night Open Mic

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.
