Hey Gang,
We recieved this write up from a member of the local press community who happened to be at the Longhorn Show last Friday night! -
- "Fort Worth’s
Longhorn Saloon got real rootsy, and real street-corner-funky, and just plain
energized last Friday night, courtesy of a super-hip, fresh sounding, dynamic
new quartet bearing the name, Jonny the Saint and the Velvet Hand — Yeah, you
had us with the band name’s cool reference to the Beatles White Album classic
“velvet hand” lyrics from Happiness is a Warm Gun. Talk about old school
endurance, these guys churned out original after original after original over
easily more than 2 hours – barely stopping to take a between-tune swig from
a longneck. It was a non-stop show the Boss (as in Bruuuuce) would have
identified with, and applauded. Also notable about J.S.V.H. act is how
seamlessly they wove in a smattering
of covers (Stevie Miller’s always catchy
Joker, the Allman Brothers immortal take on Statesboro
Blues) into the fabric of the band’s originals. Since Jonny the Saint got the
cowpokes of Cowtown’s Stockyards to nod their cowboy hats to the infectious
beat, there’s no telling how well they’ll rock the house at their next gig,
coming up this Saturday at C.J.’s in the Colony. I highly suggest paying
them a visit online at www.myspace.com/jonnythesaint "
