  • Skip Devlin Reunion Tour


    Where has Skip been these last few months? As some of you have heard, he has been afflicted by a run of bad luck this year! Part of his troubles included the dissolution of Galveston's premier Blues trio, The Skip Devlin Band. Well as the story goes, as Skip was looking for his way out of this wilderness of woes, he had a head-on collision with a deer, on his Harley!

    There are two ways to look at this last event. A pessimist would say that Skip's luck is still running against him. An optimist would argue that it was Skip's good luck that he killed the deer, but he "only" suffered a broken leg!

    Count me in the latter group. Ever since his "date with destiny" brought him together with the deer, a series of events brought the band back together for a summer reunion tour! That's right, for five dates, and five dates only, you can catch "the boys" playing their version of mind-expanding Blues exclusively at The Spot this season!

    Their first gig is this Sunday, 08 June, 3-7 pm; don't miss it!!!

    The Skip Devlin Band


    Pssst. Don't tell anyone, but Skip is currently working on a secret new project!

    If there are any Latin percussionists who would like to know more, call Skip at 409-789-6752!

  • T.P. Escapes!

    The saga continues!

    This incredible story began sometime back in 2005. My old buddy T.P. Catron just disappeared off the face of the Earth, and many thought the cannibals in the Uncivilized Territory had gotten him. After months of searching, we found out that Tim had been struck by lightening! That whole amazing story of wandering the globe in search the way back to his music, and the path back to Galveston were well chronicled in Tim Paul Returns

    After that adventure, T.P. was back in Galveston leading T.P. and the Emergency in a blitzkrieg of Rock & Roll across the Island. However, it wasn't long after that when T.P. had a vision. He created a new kind of Rock & Roll band; a band that could utilize all of his talent and showmanship.  Kowboy was born that Summer of 2006.

    T.P. always says that he was born under a bad sign, and his luck sure turned sour again! Just as Kowboy was taking Southeast Texas by storm, he was kidnapped by a contingent of Yankee cavalry. After that T.P. was lost again. We couldn't find him. What the Yankees wanted with this loyal Texan is anybody's guess.

    A few weeks ago, I received a cryptic coded email from someone claiming to be Tim. He said that he had escaped from the place in New Jersey where the Yankees had been holding him. And then, just like a line out of the movie The Blues Brothers, he said, "I'm putting the band back together!"

    Yes, it's true! Kowboy will be back at the Spot on 29 June, and then again in August, September, and October. Don't miss it!

    The Park Board has agreed to give Meghan Nash a one-year lease on this local east-end institution that has been in her family for over 50 years!!

    However, the business must be shut down while she applies for a new liquor license, so the celebration planned for Saturday night (10 May) has been canceled.


    We will let you know when Nash's re-opens.
