GBCPA Bay Preservation Jam
an Invitation
May 15, 2006

 


Galveston Bay Conservation and Preservation Association’s (GBCPA) Bay Preservation Jam will be held in the shaded, breezy Landolt Pavilion at the Clear Lake Park Sunday, June 4, 2006 from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm.

Our headliner, Rocky Hill is known as one of the best of the real bluesmen and is a masterful guitarist/singer/songwriter. Rocky Hill has reached near legendary status on the Texas blues circuit. Longtime fans have followed Hill's career on stage, working with such legends as Freddy King, Jimmy Reed, John Lee Hooker and Big Mama Thornton.

One of his first bands was "American Blues", which included his brother Dusty, ZZ TOP bassist, and ZZ TOP drummer Frank Beard. Rolling Stone hailed Rocky as an "outstanding, articulate and creative" musician and "Texas' finest blues-rock guitarist, right up there with Eric Clapton, Johnny Winter.

Also appearing; Janet Z., a talented local artist who opened for Grammy Winners, Asleep at the Wheel and Jon Townsend with Danny D. Jon Townsend is a Dallas transplant to our Gulf coast and has a vocal style reminiscent of the Beatles (Paul), guitar like SRV and piano playing like Elton. He’s an up-and-coming artist you don’t want to miss.

Opening at 1:00 is Viva Los Chuyz, a Tex Mex meets Reggae Band whose lead guitarist was the lead for Joe King Carrcaso. Tickets are $12 at the gate. Children 12 and under are free with an adult. Send $10 per ticket to GBCPA Fest P. O. Box 323 Seabrook, Texas 77586 Checks only please.
