Billy Bourbon Trio
CD Release Party
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.
If you like Jerry Jeff Walker, Commander Cody, Guy Clark, John Prine, Jason Boland, Cross Canadian Ragweed, you'll dig Billy Bourbon.
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!!!!
JPHH is extremely pleased to welcome the Billy Bourbon Trio as they introduce Neverchange, their new CD. Come early! FREE CDs for the first 25 folks tonight.

Ben
Morris & The Great American Box Car Chorus
I have always tried to live my life with
a whole lot of heart and plenty of soul.
Hailing from the uncomfortably humid boundaries
of East Texas, by way of four widely spaced dots
on the Texas map, Ben Morris & The Great American
Boxcar Chorus is a driving force that is pushing
full steam |
|
ahead.
Based in College Station, the four members that
make up this gifted group are about as different
as they are similar, yet they share one common
trait that endears them to many: their heart,
which is not set on just playing music, but on
changing lives along the way.
The Boxcar Chorus
(I love that name) is lead by singer, songwriter,
guitarist Ben Morris, who
found his musical debut in a duo out of Texas
A&M University called Jeff and Ben (JAB).
Other members of the band are Coby Tate
flying across the frets as lead guitarist, Jon
Dittfurth pulls double duty as bassist and harmony
vocalist and Bucky Bachmeyer provides the rhythmic
backbone of the band as the drummer.
The band was presented with the award for 'Live Band of the Year' a tthe 2009 Texas Music Awards.
If yall dont love this band
something is wrong with your genetics.
~ Mark David Manders
With all this young, fresh talent and energy,
this night will be a lot of fun!! I am looking
forward to this show, hope you can join us!

George has a unique fingerpicking
style originating from his classical guitar training
and honed over the years to flow seamlessly with
his lyrics. He has been called a "songpainter,"

Eric Hisaw
Eric always knew that he wanted to be a musician, but found earning a living at his chosen avocation a matter easier said than done. Over the dozen or so years since arriving in Texas Hisaw has slowly assembled the pieces of the livelihood mosaic, and now finds himself an in-demand producer, session musician and sideman in addition to the 150 + solo and Eric Hisaw Band shows hell play this year. In addition to being a top-flight singer/songwriter he slings a mean Telecaster.
In even a brief conversation one is struck by the extraordinary passion and knowledge Hisaw has for/of music of all genres, be it country, blues, Cajun, folk, conjunto or rock. You get the idea that he's always on the hunt to further incorporate the nuance of these styles into his own work, having successfully done so without sounding kitschy.
Austin has provided him with the idyllic location to absorb this wide variety of influences, as well as offering him the opportunity to meet, befriend and play with artists he has long admired.

Jon
Hogan & Maria Moss
Think Woody Guthrie meets Townes Van Zandt and
the Carter Family to pick guitar with Kurt Cobain.
Singer/songwriter Jon Hogan blends a 1930s progressive
sensibility with the soulful backbone of old-time
Appalachia and the gut-wrenching howl of the
itinerant, freethinking cosmic refugee. Hogan's
writing careens through unexpected topics and
spot-on social commentary, backed by a swinging'
upright bass and fingerpickin' guitars. Mix
in a little bluegrass, a little Eastern Europe
and scorching vocals, and you get an acoustic-rock
delivery that's sometimes understated, often
downright intense. Listeners who care about
hand-made, visionary folk art will get him completely.
Check back soon for details on Maria.
