Derek “Big House” O’Brien is a Texas-style blues guitarist, sometime bassist and record producer based in Austin, TX.

A stalwart of the house band at the famous Austin blues club Antone’s Nightclub, O’Brien is most often found backing up other Austin frontmen, including Delbert McClinton, Lou Ann Barton, The Texas Tornados and almost anyone recording on the Antone’s Records label.

O’Brien has also backed up major blues names such as Buddy Guy and Muddy Waters. Ted Drozdowski, writing on Gibson Guitars’ website, says, “O’Brien has a terse, arrow-sharp and spare style comparable to Jimmie Vaughan’s – light on flash, but soooo right. Check it out.”

It was a truley great show...Bob was in fine form, his singing was very strong and guitar playing was inspiring.

He said he hadn't played in awhile....you sure couldn't tell!

Bob had Sarah Brown-bass, Deke O'Brien-guitar, Kaz Kazenhoff -sax& harp, Corey Keller-drums.

All top blues ringers, the songs were spot on and Antone's needs more blues acts...IMO.

Super band, tunes were classic blues...many Europeans in the audience with LPs they wanted signed.

Of course the best part was when Bob called Kathy and I on stage to play Kathy's "Bird in the Hand" and "What I'd Say" with them....what an honor!!

Jeff Hayes' Twilight Trio open the show with some really cool obscure blues.
