Houston Jones w Susie Glaze & the HiLonesome Band in Concert
About Houston Jones:
Houston Jones invites you into a world of musical virtuosity and storytelling ranging from the myths of ancient Greece to the red dirt back roads of Waskom Texas. The acoustic heart of the band beats with the passion of five lifetimes lived in a musical landscape of revival tents to Irish pubs, New Orleans to the Great Plains to Motown, a church in Cape Cod to a punk club in Berkeley. This explosive, wide-ranging performance will touch your heart and get your feet moving of their own volition. Houston Jones is a San Francisco based high-octane Americana band that performs an original repertoire that ranges from bluegrass and folk to blues and gospel.
Glenn Houston (lead guitars) has been voted Best Guitarist by the Northern California Bluegrass Society, is a past judge of the National Flatpick Guitar Championship Competition in Winfield, Kansas, and was the founding lead guitarist of the Waybacks. Travis Jones (lead vocals, guitar), began performing as a child accompanying his mother on gospel tours in the South. He honed his soulful delivery in his years as a child preacher in churches around his native Shreveport, only to throw down his bible when he saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. Henry Salvia (keyboards, accordion) has performed with the Johnny Nocturne Band, Bo Diddley, Rickie Lee Jones and Big Jay McNeeley. Peter Tucker (drums) has deep Americana roots, having performed and recorded with wide array of Americana musicians, including Tim Hardin, Richie Havens, the Beau Brummels, Warren Zevon and Skunk Baxter. Peter was also in the original rhythm section of The Waybacks.
Joshua Zucker is a seasoned upright and electric bassist, comfortable in most any genre. Joshua co-founded the Zucker Family Band and has worked with the Rowan Brothers, Peter Rowan, Caren Armstrong, David Gans, Randy Clark, David Phillips, Garrin Benfield, Dore Coller, Tim Weed, Andrew Freeman and countless others. The San Francisco Chronicle, in giving Houston Jones its highest review rating for their CD "Queen of Yesterday," described the band as "a confluence of sublime talent". Billboard.com praised their "Wonderful original tunes." Dirty Linen said "No one delivers the goods quite like Houston Jones Houston Jones remains one of the West Coast's most talented and entertaining bands." Bob Brown, club owner and manager of Huey Lewis, says they are "as good as any singing and picking I've heard in my thirty years in the music business." Houston Jones' music is currently being played on over seventy radio stations throughout North America and beyond, and is available on iTunes, Rhapsody, Amazon.com, CDBaby, MSN Music, Napster, MusicMatch, MusicNet, and www.houstonjones.com.

About Susie Glaze & the HiLonesome Band:
Susie Glaze & The Hilonesome Band has been likened to the classic British bands Pentangle and Fairport Convention in that they blend classic folk music with rough-edged stories of tragedy and fate, all with orchestral arrangements sounding like chamber music gone folk! A lush newgrass Americana folk fusion quintet presenting gorgeous eclectic blends of mountain folk and exciting new grassy and Celtic-inspired originals, all with the remarkable voice of Susie Glaze. Winner of the Just Plain Folks 2006 Music Award for Best Roots Album for their debut CD "Blue Eyed Darlin,'" The Hilonesome Band is Steve Rankin on mandolin, Rob Carlson on lead guitar, Fred Sanders on bass and Mark Indictor on fiddle, showcasing the songwriting of lead guitarist Carlson. The band has appeared at many premier venues and festivals on the West Coast, including Berkeley's Freight & Salvage, McCabe's Guitar Shop, The Broad Stage, the Hollywood Bowl, and CalTech Folk Music Society among many others. Their CD "White Swan" was released in March of 2013 to critical acclaim from No Depression, FolkWorks, Pop Matters, M Magazine for Musicians, Music News Nashville and FolkWords UK among others, and their new release for 2015 "Not That Kind of Girl" produced by Herb Pedersen has been championed by No Depression, Sing Out!, Americana Daily, Red Dirt Review and Pop Matters, as well as consistently charting in the Top 50 on the Roots Music Report for Americana Country.
Susie Glaze has been honored to be included on the newly-released Compass Records tribute album "Dear Jean - Artists Celebrate Jean Ritchie" alongside such artists as Judy Collins, Pete Seeger, Janis Ian, Tim O'Brien, John McCutcheon, Robin and Linda Williams and many more.
From the Review of "White Swan" on No Depression: "From skilled instrumentation bluegrass jams, Appalachian vocals, sweet high lonesome harmonies and old-time folk influences, "White Swan" sings with the richness of a tapestry of American music that weaves together each genre through song-craft, clear production and authentic performance in such a seamless way, it feels like we're hearing just one genre; great American music."
"The best new band I've never heard of!" - Dan Crary "does something with a song that only great singers can do..." KCSN, Northridge, CA "One of the most beautiful voices in bluegrass and folk music today." KPFK's FolkScene "Her singing is impressive at all ranges" Bluegrass Unlimited "The band is tight, great picking, and beautiful vocals and harmony." Che Greenwood, KVMR, Nevada City, CA "She held the audience in the palm of her hand." Scott Valley Bluegrass Festival
