"Wow! Smoking...excellent...wonderful...awesome…amazing! What a great voice, fabulous lead guitar, one of the best percussionists around. What a great team!", says Dave Stafford, DJ at KKUP about Houston Jones, the Bay Area Americana band creating a buzz across the country. From Telluride to the Northwest, the band has thrilled audiences with it's infectious music. This concert benefits Veterans for Peace, an organization of men and women veterans of all eras.
Their sound is a blend of rock, folk, bluegrass, blues and world beat with thought provoking lyrics of drama and delight.
