Houston Jones, a quartet to sextet, featuring the stunning, left handed, upside down, acoustic and electric guitar playing of Glenn Houston and the golden tenor of Travis Jones (guitar), plus the double bass and harmony vocals of Chris Kee and the percussion and harmony vocals of Peter Tucker. When the eclectic fiddle and mandolin of Chojo Jacques joins them they have 3 of the 4 original Waybacks on stage. In some shows the piano and accordian of Henry Salvia are also added. Though all the band members are resident in the Bay Area, they originate from all over the US and have about 180 years of collective professional music experience! Describing thier music as 'high energy Americana', they usually sizzle through a mix of blues, folk, country, bluegrass, Celtic, gospel, and jazz, mixing original material with the best from others. They now have 4 CDs out (three studio and one live) and two years ago stormed the main stage at the Strawberry Music Festival, where they were voted the best new band and Travis the best new vocalist. Last year they toured extensively, appearing at several major US and Canadian festivals. They are surpassingly good, great fun to see live, Fiddling Cricket favorites, and last played at the Cayuga in 2006. All 6 will be on stage this time and will be debuting material from their 4th CD, Calico Heart.www.houstonjones.com
