Stu Allen moved to the Bay Area in 2005 to join Melvin Seals & The JGB Band, of which he was the lead vocalist/guitarist for the next seven years. During this time he has become one of the leading figures in the jam band and Grateful Dead-inspired community, expressing his flavor of music through a variety of projects. He has fronted a number of Dead tribute acts, including a tour with the nationally touring Dark Star Orchestra. This path has culminated in the formation of his current project, Stu Allen & Mars Hotel, which was birthed hosting the weekly Grateful Dead Night at Ashkenaz in Berkeley, and now plays around the Northern California area. He belongs to Bay Area favorites, The Ghosts of Electricity, a tribute to the music of Bob Dylan
 
 
Mitch Stein is best known for his work with CRYPTICAL, Groove Division, Johnny Nitro & The Doorslammers, The Malone Brothers, The SSV Trio (with bassist Tony Saunders and drummer Bill Vitt), and scores of other Bay Area and national artists (see groovedivision.com for full bio). Look for Mitch playing with the GATORATORS November 16 and 17 at Sweetwater Mill Valley!

***********************************************
 
Glenn Houston - Glenn has received the “Best Guitarist” award for 2009 from the Northern California Bluegrass Society. He is an accomplished player with influences ranging from T-Bone Walker, Albert King, B.B. King and Michael Bloomfield to Doc Watson, Albert Lee and James Burton. A co-founder in 1979 of the group Hearts on Fire, Glenn was nominated for "Best Lead Guitar" by the California Country Music Association (CCMA). While Glenn was with the group, Hearts on Fire earned a prestigious Bay Area Music Award (Bammie).
Over the years, Glenn has shared billing with Hank Williams, Jr., Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, The David Grisman Quintet, Doc Watson, Earl Scruggs, John Hartford, Ricky Skaggs, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and The Tubes. In recent years, he has performed live and in the recording studio with Grammy Award winner Ramblin' Jack Elliott; he co-founded and played lead guitar for the critically acclaimed acoustic group The Waybacks; he has performed with blues legends Mark Naftalin and Nick Gravenites; and he has earned a second nomination for "Best Lead Guitar" from the CCMA. And yes, he plays left-handed upside down.


Travis Jones - Travis’ musical background and history reads like a William Faulkner novel. He began singing gospel music at age four with his mother Lottie Mae Adams, a blues singer who recorded several discs on Paula Records. Travis became known not only for his vocal abilities but also for his telling of old testament bible stories at revivals and tent meetings all across the south. He started his first group at sixteen – a Paul Revere and the Raiders tribute band. Travis served 6 years in the US Army; he was stationed in Europe where he performed with the soul and funk band Smoke, which eventually became the back up band for the famous R&B group The Manhattans (“Let’s Just Kiss and Say Goodbye”). Upon leaving the armed forces, Europe, and Smoke, Travis made his way to Northern California where he has resided since 1979.

During his time in California, he has performed with a wide array of artists. He’s shared the stage with Asleep at the Wheel and Waylon Jennings – Night Ranger and the Doobie Brothers - John Hartford and Levon Helm, just to name a few. He has recorded with various artists, as well as releasing two self titled albums – “Lost Highway, The Legendary Music of Hank Williams” and “Dance All Night” – along with five CD releases with Houston Jones. Travis lives in Alameda CA, on his sailboat, with Samson the wonderdog.

***********************************************

In the year 2000, Glenn Houston and Travis Jones began performing as a duet, honing their chops and developing their repertoire as part of their plan to put together a new band. With the addition of bass and drums in 2001, that band was launched as Houston Jones.

In the past decade plus, the band has released six CDs and has garnered international attention with airplay on over 70 radio stations. Rave reviews include that of the San Francisco Chronicle's David Wiegand, who termed the band "a confluence of sublime talent".

Please join us for a rare opportunity to enjoy a concert by the two gentlemen who started it all. It has been years since Glenn and Travis have performed regularly in public as a duet, but the magic and musical chemistry that launched that great band is better than ever.

Pat Nevins began his musical career in Chicago, perfrming with the popular band The Deadbeats who released two original albums in 1988 and 1990. He has been performing live shows in the San Francisco area for ten years now, and is known for his heartfelt vocals, deep soul, and rhythm guitar work.

Pat performs his own compositions, and is loved by Bay Area music fans for taking on both the acoustic and electric sides of Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and Gram Parsons, to name a few. He has appeared and worked with many top Bay Area musicians including Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead.

In 2003, Pat released Shakey Zimmerman, a ten song tribute to Neil Young and Bob Dylan, which featured a fabulous backing band that included bassist Bill Laymon and pedal steel and guitar ace, Barry Sless. Currently he plays with Ragged Glory, as well as alongside Stu Allen and Mark Karan in The Ghosts of Electricity.  


Jim Lewin is a guitarist, songwriter and producer based in Santa Cruz, CA. A member of alt-country jamband Great American Taxi, Jim can be found touring regularly around the US and beyond. He also performs with Todd Snider, Frank Wakefield, Lacy J Dalton, and Harmony Grits and fronts his own groups in various genres. Lewin is stylistically eclectic with deep roots in bluegrass, honky tonk, and rock n’ roll. He is known for his skillful playing on both electric and acoustic guitar. Jim exists in several dimensions and he lives in space.
In the past Jim has performed or recorded with such luminaries as Don Was, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, Bill Kreutzmann, Jack Casady, Peter Rowan, Jeff Austin, Leftover Salmon, Flaco Jimenez, Bobby Pinson, John Reischmann, Richard Greene, Mary McCaslin, Chip Taylor, Railroad Earth, and The Butchers. Jim Lewin is obviously a shameless name - dropper.
In addition to his work as a performing musician, Jim is a session guitarist / multi-instrumentalist and producer with dozens of credits on a diverse assortment of releases, many of which have garnered national radio airplay and met with critical acclaim. He has also produced and composed music for film and television.

Jim lives near the beach and has two really great kids.
Numerically, Lewin is an Elevenist.
