Houston Jones

HOUSTON JONES, a California based high octane Americana quintet, was formed in 2001. The band performs a mostly original repertoire that ranges from bluegrass and folk to blues and gospel and features Glenn Houston (lead guitar), Travis Jones (lead vocal, acoustic 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 voted as “best vocalist” at the Strawberry Music Festival and Glenn was awarded "best guitarist” for 2009 by the Northern California Bluegrass Society.

Houston Jones has recorded five CDs for the Summerhill label. They are the subject of a six page feature article in the January/February 2010 issue of Dirty Linen magazine, the magazine dedicated to folk and world music.
