A Little Bit About Me And The Roadhouse In General



Welcome to The Roadhouse. If you've come this far, you must be a fan of the blues. So for that, let me thank you. You probably want to know more about this site, such as who started it and why. So I'm here to try and tell you a little bit about that.

I'm just a blues fan like you. I happen to work in the technology field. So I get a chance now and then to play around with new stuff like this. I've been on a mission to find technology out there to try and help musicians reach a broader and broader fan base. And I wanted it to be free, because we all know how hard it is these days to make a living making music. Nothing is worse than scams that try to make money off of people that already don't have a lot of money to begin with. That's why everything on this site is free to everyone.

The idea behind this site is a simple one. Texas Blues is known around the world for it's high energy and tasty sound thanks to the pioneers that have come before us. Everybody has heard of Stevie Ray Vaughan and many have heard of Freddie King, TBone Walker and Lightning Hopkins. But how many have heard of the local musicians who are keeping the blues alive today? Yes, the answer to that is that only a few of the really passionate blues fans today know their local artists. And so the idea here is to use the banner of Texas Blues to rally the fans to one central location. That location is the Texas Blues Roadhouse. And here, the Top 1% of blues fans can share their love of live blues with blues fans from all over the world. And hopefully, we can help promote local Texas Blues to help keep the tradition alive.

My Music

Here's a band I was in for a while called Texas Mojo. It's a little bit rock and roll, and a little bit blues.


iTunes get music onQuantcast
And here is another band I was in called "Mike and the Majestics". This featured vocalist Dempsey Crenshaw. Hope you like it:

Man, Austin is so cool, they have blues at the airport. LOL. As for letting the blues find you, it found me on Monday at the unemployment line. Got laid off. F.

I think I caught a bit of this show. We were downtown at Cafe Malaga enjoying a nice dinner. We walked by the Caddy and heard some good music.

Spotify Adds Artist Radio

Not sure if anyone here uses Spotify, but if you don't, you should definitely check it out. They've recently updated the app to now include artist radio. I'm listening to a mix of music that they consider to be similar to Texas Blues Artist Jimmie Vaughan. And it's pretty good stuff. More info in this article: …See More

Hey everybody,

 

Just wanted to invite all my Texas Blues friends out for a little jamming tomorrow night down at Ziggy's Tavern (formerly The Upper Deck). Big Bob says the crowds have been light the last couple of weeks due to the playoff games and such, so he could use a hand keeping this going. Come…

Thanks Michael.
I was searching on the genre of Texas Blues. I really like that style of blues. Love SRV and Albert Collins.
Haven't been to Texas, but dream of spending time at a Texas blues club.
Not a lot of blues clubs in Calgary anymore since the King Eddy shut down.

Hey thanks! Looks like a great forum. I'm eager to see a blues scene evolve in Frisco. Where do you go for good live blues in our area - i.e., more in proximity to Frisco?
