Westbound is a high-energy Roots and Americana band from Houston, TX, featuring Rebecca on lead vocals and John on acoustic guitar, banjo, resonator guitar, backing vocals, stomp-box percussion and harmonica. The band is on constant regional tour in the Southeast U.S. in 2011, in support of their album Blackjack Road. Westbound is recording their second album in late 2011 / early 2012, and on national tour of the U.S. in Summer 2012.
Impossible to categorize, Blackjack Road is a journey through the dust-bowl fields of West Texas Americana, the unstoppable energy of Southern stomp-box blues, the soft touch of a tender folk song, and the blistering heat of backroads hammer-down outlaw country… A high-energy combination of alt Americana and raunchy blues, mixed with a stubborn mule that’s been a little too deep in the whiskey.
The band draws from an extensive songlist, playing greasy blues, Americana, folk, rock, roots and outlaw country. Westbound has a distinctive and signature style, and always brings a ton of energy and fun to the stage!
Their album Blackjack Road is available at shows, on this website, on iTunes and on Amazon. It’s also streaming on the internet-radio site Pandora. It was recorded, produced and published by the Houston-based independent record label 44 Stone Productions.
Westbound is playing all over Houston, Galveston, Round Top, Austin, Rockport, Marble Falls, Eureka Springs, AR and Clarksdale, MS. The band has also worked with the Arts Institute of Houston, providing music for their Audio Production program, and has been featured in Musician’s Friend advertisements in Guitar Player, Mix, Electronic Musician and Modern Drummer magazines.
