Ruckus (Houston, TX)

Jake Shaffer “Time Traveler” originally from the country now known as Mexico, raised by the Aztec Fertility Goddess, Toci, the “Mother of the Men”, & still wrestles in his home town by the alias El Chupacabra. Ben Jarrad was found in an East German brothel in the year of the Jaguar posing as the establishments madam. When not performing with Ruckus he still moonlights there. Joshua Earl Bowen did nothing till he died in 1944. Survived by his trailer & beloved pet raccoon, Harold. Only to be resurrected in 1983 born and bred for Ruckus. Scott Benton is the illegitimate son of Michael McDonald.

Currently, Ruckus is entertaining audiences throughout the south with their unique, Americana style of folk-rock.

 

Nathan Quick and Friends (Houston, TX)

Houston native Nathan Quick belts out his bluesy, raspy growl atop lush boogie/roadhouse guitar rhythms and soaring lead guitar. His sound draws from a vast pool of genres including classic rock and roll, blues and contemporary Americana. He is a multi Houston Press Music Awards winning singer/songwriter and is looking forward to sharing his stories through sound with you.

 

Ashlynn Ivy (Houston, TX)

The unique sound of Ashlynn Ivy, along with guitarist Dave Macha, is reminiscent and highly influenced by early southern roots music and blues from the twenties. Like a stout drink with a blend of gin and a splash of holy water, there is something both sinful and revelatory in the music produced by these two talented musicians, born and raised in the mid-county area. Bringing with them an appreciation for all things of the past and a blend of styles, hints of jazz, gospel, rock, and blues, Dave and Ashlynn create songs that seem timeless.
