    Hey you wild and crazy party people!

    The H-Town Jukes, the old-school blues band I play in, are releasing our debut CD called "Long Time Comin'". It will be available on CDBaby.com and at Cactus & Sound Exchange early next week. iTunes and Amazon will have it in about 4 weeks. The CD was recorded at Rock Romano's Red Shack and produced by Rock Romano and your truly. CD Release events are as follows...CDs will be for sale at these events and all upcoming H-Town Jukes gigs:

    Friday May 21 - Official CD release party at the Magnolia Bar & Grill, 6000 Richmond (@ Fountainview). We play from 6-10 PM. Mudbugs, beer & CDs for sale. Outdoor show on the deck (weather permitting).

    Thursday May 27 - Big Easy, 5731 Kirby Drive. We will be hosting the May 2010 Houston Blues Society jam. Doing a 1 hour set at 9:00 PM followed by the jam. If you play, bring your axe and put your name on the list, and we will get you onstage!

    Saturday May 29 - Outrigger Grill, 515 Commerce St. in beautiful downtown Palacios TX. We play from 7-11PM. This is our 5th year in a row playing the Outrigger during Memorial Day weekend. Killer seafood, cold ass beer, and hot blues!

    There is no cover charge for any of the 3 shows. Hope to see you out there! Let the celebration begin!!!!!!!!

    Awesome! Congratulations! I'd love to make it to one of the shows, but I'm under the gun to finish moving into a new house by the end of the month... so much to do and no time to even practice guitar... yearrgh! I'll look for you guys next time around.

    Congrats! I've never really considered myself much of a blues guy, but those tracks are INFECTIOUS. I could literally listen all day, although, for some reason, they make me really thirsty for an adult beverage (or 10.....). But seriously, really nice work.

    Is that your new drummer? I saw your ad looking for someone on Craigslist a while back. Guy has some nice left handed action going on during those shuffles. He doesn't fake it (like I do). ;)

    Ima...drummer is Carl Owens. He's played with us off and on over the years and decided to be our fulltime guy after we didn't get much response from the ads. He is first rate!

    Juke is a popular style of dance here in Chicago, and your band's name reminded me of the song posted above. :)

    Hey kids...we're playing a couple of shows this weekend in support of our new CD.....

    Tonight (Thursday 5/27) we are hosting the Houston Blues Society monthly jam at the Big Easy, 5731 Kirby Drive. We will do a one hour set from 9-10 and then the jam will begin. If you play, and you want to play the blues, bring your axe to the Big Easy tonight. Put your name on the signup sheet and you will be onstage before the night is through!

    Saturday 5/29 we will be down in Palacios at the Outrigger Grill, 515 Commerce St. We've played at the Outrigger every Memorial Day weekend for the last 5 years. They've got great seafood and a cool outdoor tiki bar with a stage. It's a block from Matagorda Bay. We play from 7-11PM.

    Also, "Long Time Comin'" is now available for digital download on iTunes and Amazon.com - go gitchya some!!! :cool:
