Kenny Edwards is a true music legend. Although the term is thrown around a bit too liberally at times, in this case nothing else fits. Starting with the Stone Poneys and continuing with Linda Ronstadt, Edwards was a key player in developing the sound that became familiar to millions of fans worldwide. He then went on to produce Karla Bonoff and has collaborated and played with the likes of Don Henley, Stevie Nicks, Warren Zevon, and Ringo Starr. For all this history, perhaps the most revealing impression Edwards has made to date has been with his self-titled solo CD. The sound is unmistakable and the influences undeniable, but the result is pure Kenny Edwards.

Chris Kee’s songwriting is at the heart and soul of high Octane Americana band Houston Jones. A classically trained cellist with a degree in ethnomusicology, Chris has performed and recorded with a bewildering array of artists, including Peter Rowan and Norah Jones. He is a long time collaborator with Telecaster wizard Jim Campilongo, playing with Jim in the legendary Ten Gallon Cats and various post-Cats ensembles. With drummer Peter Tucker, he was in the original rhythm section of those practitioners of acoustic mayhem, The Waybacks. In various musical incarnations, he has opened for Jerry Garcia, Lyle Lovett, Los Lobos, Bela Fleck and J.J. Cale, to name but a few. In addition to holding down the bass chair with Houston Jones, Chris can be seen locally with the Magic City Chamber of Commerce and Stephen Yerkey.
