From Dirty Linen Magazine March/April 2009:
Houston Jones: Calico Heart
CD Review By Jim Lee

“No one delivers the goods quite like Houston Jones. The band’s infectious mix of acoustic rock, bluegrass, folk, and country, driven along by the drumming of Peter Tucker, the guitar of Glenn Houston, and the soulful vocals of Travis Jones, are in ample supply on their latest effort, Calico Heart. It is more focused than the group’s last release, probably because acoustic bass player Chris Kee wrote nine of the 11 songs.

While the members have always been virtuoso players and arrangers, it’s the depth of Kee’s songs that adds a defining element to the band. It has expanded the sound somewhat with some down-home honky-tonk on “Born in the Moonshine,” some funk on “Mighty Red,” and the experimental 11-minute “Roads to Dominion” which adds some middle eastern influences to a basic Texas rhythm. As always, Houston Jones remains one of the West Coast’s most talented and entertaining bands.”

From Billboard.ComJuly 12, 2007:
Houston Jones: Review by Lesley Beals

“I stumbled upon this wonderful gem of a band playing at a summer concert series in, of all places, my local neighborhood park, sponsored by my hometown’s Civic Cultural Commission, and tonight we were treated to some truly EXCEPTIONAL music. After a couple of songs I said “Whoa!” … realizing this was a group I should write a review on. Houston Jones’ music was very enjoyable and consisted of some covers, but mostly wonderful original tunes written by band members — “high octane Americana” was very descriptive of their music.

Travis Jones, with the great voice, [and] very talented musicians… I was so impressed with their music …these guys weren’t just “some local band.” Some of their songs had the crowd up and dancing, some brought tears to our eyes. All of their music had the audience tapping our toes (and had me on the cell phone to my boyfriend saying, “You should have come with me!! You would LOVE this!!”)

Thank you, Redwood City Civic Cultural Commission and “Houston Jones” for such a quality concert and such a wonderful evening!

Check out Houston Jones’ schedule, and go see them if they’re going to be playing anywhere near you. And if they’re not, order one of their CDs. These guys are a rare treat!!”

Berkley Hart to Perform Live in Lake Havasu City AZ

Berkly Hart Live in Concert at The Refuge Pavilion in Lake Havasu City AZ!

Berkley Hart have found something that works. The combination of Kerrville New Folk Songwriter Award winner, Jeff Berkley, and stand-out wordsmith, Calman Hart, creates a pairing that has become one of the premier acoustic duos touring the country. Every Berkley Hart show is packed with entertainment as the duo combines their natural down-home humor with poignant, delicate, masterfully crafted lyrics delivered with stunning harmony and musicianship. Between songs, the obvious camaraderie between these two top songwriters shines as they effortlessly play off each other in what can only be called genuine comedy. Add in virtuoso playing from both Jeff Berkley (guitar) and Calman Hart (guitar, harmonica) and it’s easy to see why the two have become live favorites.

With their 6th studio album, “Crow,” the duo explore the ups and downs of life in song. Much like how the crow symbolizes despair and darkness in some cultures, while in others it is a harbinger of hope and light, this contrast fits the yin and yang of the songs on “Crow” both musically and lyrically, and thus inspired the title. Long-time fans are sure to find Berkley Hart at their best on this album while new listeners will definitely understand why this incredible duo is so admired. “Crow” has been nominated for Best Americana Album for the 2011 San Diego Music Awards.

Each of their previous five albums has earned nominations or won San Diego Music Awards (SDMA) and critical acclaim. In their 2009 effort, “Las Vegas,” Berkley Hart explored the sonic landscape as it relates to absence, love, loss, religion, redemption, and the power of rock and roll wrapped around the duo’s unique twists of observation. The North County Times said the record was “A throwback celebration of the glories of harmonized vocals, San Diego’s Jeff Berkley and Calman Hart are such gifted performers that they instantly elevate any song they touch. Soaring vocals in the model of Seals and Crofts or Loggins and Messina combine with virtuosic playing on guitar to create that elusive sense of magic that most bands never manage.”

Their previous album, 2006’s “Pocket Change,” was dubbed by the San Diego Troubadour as finding the duo “at its best, combining poignant lyrics with masterfully crafted melodies and harmonies. It captures their live sound in its purest form: two guys, two guitars, and an occasional harmonica or banjo.”

Prior to that, their third album, “Twelve,” released in 2004, was self-produced and recorded entirely in a home studio. The album received an SDMA for Best Americana Album. The All Music Guide noted, “’Twelve’… reveals that [Berkley Hart] know how to create appealing, harmony-rich country-rock songs. In fact, this disc…feels like an excellent calling card for Nashville.”

In 2002, the duo released “Something To Fall Back On,” which received that year’s SDMA for Best Adult Alternative Album. For that album, Relix Magazine proclaimed, “The band infuses its rich, harmony-laden songs with strains of bluegrass, folk, country and rock…while…their solid and finely-crafted songs are a good melding of yesterday and today.”

And their debut album, 2000’s “Wreck ‘n’ Sow,” was a critical success out of the box that won that year’s SDMA prize for Best Local Recording, and took home the coveted Best New Artist trophy to boot. SLAMM magazine said, “Sometimes an album surfaces that is so emotionally and musically authentic that it crumbles resistance to its genre.”

Both Berkley and Hart emerged from the Southern California coffeehouse circuit, each building sizeable followings of their own before joining forces. As a duo for more than ten years now, they have become fixtures on the folk circuit, making appearances at the Kerrville Folk Festival, as well as playing some of folk’s most prestigious venues including The Birchmere and The Bluebird Café. In 2005, they staged the first “O Berkley, Where Hart Thou?” a mulit-artist extravaganza that features music from the film “O Brother Where Art Thou?” and other ‘old-timey’ tunes. With a DVD of the first show now available, Berkley Hart have since presented 3 additional shows, featuring different performers, with another planned for 2012. Additionally, the duo continues the “Berkley Hart House Concert Revolution.” They ask fans to host an annual Berkley Hart show in their own homes and invite the people they know. They’ve played hundreds of house concerts not just in San Diego, but around the country, and have helped establish some now well-known series.
