HOUSTON JONES -California based high octane Americana quintet

A wonderful evening was enjoyed by those wise enough to come on down to The Coffee Gallery Backstage on a Sunday evening.



Bob Says: What an incredible display of
musicianship last time. The audience left absolutely stunned
and glassy eyed. You “must” see and hear Houston Jones.

HOUSTON JONES.... is a California based high octane Americana quintet. Formed in 2001, the band performs a mostly original repertoire that ranges from bluegrass and folk to blues and gospel. The band features Glenn Houston (lead guitar), Travis Jones (lead vocal, rhythm guitar), Henry Salvia (keyboard, accordion), Chris Kee (standup bass, cello, acoustic guitar), and Peter Tucker (drums).

“A wonderful gem of a band…truly exceptional music…wonderful original tunes…some brought tears to our eyes. These guys are a rare treat!” – Billboard.com

"No one delivers the goods quite like Houston Jones....Houston Jones remains one of the West Coast's most talented and entertaining bands." - Dirty Linen Magazine

It's worth noting that Chris, Peter and Glenn are all alumni of the Waybacks. The band was voted as “best discovery” and Travis Jones voted as “best vocalist” of the Fall 2005 Strawberry Music Festival. Glenn has been given the award "Best Guitarist” for 2009 by the Northern California Bluegrass Society.
