Gatemouth Brown
Guitarist, fiddler, vocalist, swingster Gatemouth Brown hails from the rich musical territory along the Texas-Louisiana Gulf Coast. A genre-bending, oil-patch bluesman who loves country and Cajun music as much as jazz, he offers his tart opinions of life and art between puffs on that pungent pipe of his. Non-smokers have no fear, the show is not offered with “smellaround sound,” but is does come with a music mix well-suited to Gatemouth’s eclectic sartorial taste for Hawaiian shirts and cowboy hats.
