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

I have the same question, I added a photo but the generic photo is still in whatever official slot causes it to be displayed next to my name all the time. How to I get my uploaded photo to take the place of the generic photo so it will be displayed…

A place for fans of KNON's Blues programs that air Monday thru Friday, 6pm to 8pm and Thursday mornings from 9am to 12am.
Been checkin' it out- There are some pretty great cuts of jams uploaded on the roadhouse by members live jams-Mayo- Leslie- and Schaefer just to name but a few; You too Beth - rrt
Share your love of blues music with other avid fans.
Nice photo.
Anytime I can get wherever the Blues Scene is happening, I'll get there-either to activly participate and moan the blues or just hoot and holler in audiance participation, I'll be there
I love Perry Jones & Tony DeCicco's Blue Goat Monday jam at the Goat - this past Monday was their 7th year anniversary of hosting that jam! And the Pete Barbeck jam over there on Thursdays. Both Perry & Pete have taught me a lot over the years. What…
Yeah, I figured that might be a problem. But on the plus side, if you ever do find one that matches, it will be that much more special.
Yeah I saw it. Made me laugh. Knew you needed a closeup for me huh? :)
LOL!! Yeah baby!! Nice sleds.
Yep, those are the shoes. Lookin' good buddy. ;)
ARE THOSE THE SHOES????
Looking good guys. :)
Sounds great. Can't wait to see the updates.
This is a really great article. Thanks for sharing it here Beth.
Here's my best shot. See attached.
Awesome report Chuck. And there's something in the water up there. Great crowds at the Cadillac.

Hey everybody,
The Roadhouse is moving. Our hosting provider is raising the rent, the old lady is throwing us out, and we're looking for new digs. Ok, it's just a metaphor, but it's strangely fitting.
So Chuck and I are looking at new sites to host our content. And as we look at different options, we want to try to include the features that you guys like most about the current site.
If you have a second, please leave us a comment below to let us know what you'd… Continue
