This Sunday, Houston Jones in Corralitos!

Although I'm normally pretty adamant (and kind of a self-righteous pain) about NOT using exclamation marks—I argue that they should be banished completely—I couldn't help myself in the subject line above. This Sunday, December 4th, is our last show of the year at the , and we've got something really special lined up: Houston Jones. 

Let me say that again: Houston Jones!

For the uninitiated, the Bay Area-based Houston Jones is a five-piece "High-Octane Americana" band that mixes elements of blues, bluegrass, jazz, gospel and swing (they can pretty much do anything) into a mix of original material backed by great vocals and wonderful harmonies. They have a ridiculously huge list of accolades, awards and a well-desevered list of press quotes. For a better idea listen to my interview with the guys back in episode #82 of my "Songs and Stories" podcast. 

It's a genuine thrill to have a band of this caliber descend on Corralitos. Dec. 4 is also a special night for a couple of attendees. We'll be celebrating that, too, but you'll have to show up for details.

Reservations recommended: We're determined to make room for anyone who wants to come, but reservation requests have been trickling in for the past couple of weeks. If you're planning on making this one, please do email me in advance. 

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Show starts at 6 p.m. Suggested donation (sliding scale) for this is $10-$20. The Corralitos Cultural Center is at 129 Hames Rd. in Watsonville.
