The Gourds with The Soul of John Black, Hueco

East City Park
Moscow, ID

The Gourds:
Austin, Texas' The Gourds have never been much on sentiment. Since the band started defining Gourds Music, as it has come to be known, with Dem's Good Beeble in 1997 and the quirky Stadium Blitzer in 1998, they have chugged through America fueled by music and a near-pathological need for a good time. And while songwriters Kevin Russell and Jimmy Smith have written the most dense, reference-laden country songs of the last 10 years and almost single-handedly made a place for deep thought in a genre of "Honky Tonk Badonkadonks" they have, for the most part, shied away from the tear-in-my-beer ballads that made country music a commercial powerhouse over the last 50 years.

The Soul of John Black:
The Soul of John Black is John "JB" Bigham, an adventurous artist who isn't afraid to take risks while pursuing his musical vision. JB draws his influences from blues and soul pioneers such as Leadbelly, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy, etc.

JB's music is a true testament of the dynamic beauty of music, which he strips down to the core guitar, voice and exposed human emotion conveyed in sparse, attention grabbing performances wrought with raw and spontaneous power.

Note: Rendezvous was started in 1983 by the City of Moscow and the Moscow Arts Commission in response to citizens' requests for a summer music festival. After several years, the event became so successful that the Moscow City Council recommended that it be separately organized and operated. In 1990, Rendezvous in Moscow, Inc. was formed as a private, non-profit corporation. Since its inception, Rendezvous has showcased some of the country's best musicians, many of whom have gone on to win honors such as The Grammy, the Country Music Award and the Handy Award.
