The band travels Texas and beyond, packing dance floors and beer joints with a gritty, old-school inspired sound.

Crossroads Saloon and Steakhouse, a bar and restaurant located in Fredericksburg, Texas, is once again proud to host Elvis T Busboy and the Blues Butchers.

You can see pictures and a review of them from their previous show here:

http://crossroads-texas.com/music-review/elvis-t-busboy-and-the-blues-butchers.html

Elvis T. Busboy (aka Stephen Shaw) started out a roadie for the P.J. Belly band & went with him in ’89 to the Arts & Crafts festival in Kerrville, where P.J. Belly asked Shaw if he wanted to get up on the stage & sing. “I didn’t have time to think about it long enough to be nervous,” Shaw says. He got up & sang the only tune he knew, Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup’s ‘That’s All Right Mama’ & it worked. The following year Belly opened up his own Lubbock club & Shaw became the singing cook there. Shaw would stop cooking, come out & sing, then go back & cook some more. Friends started calling him Elvis because of his unique voice & would holler ‘You wanna hear the busboy sing?’ So he became ‘Elvis the Busboy’ which was eventually shortened to Elvis T. Busboy….voila!

Shaw’s popularity then started to gain & he found himself working with bands all over town when he eventually crossed paths with the Texas Blues Butchers. The Texas Blues Butchers were a side version of Lubbock’s premiere ’80′s band The Nelsons, which had 1 LP & 1 CD released. The Nelson’s toured with Culture Club & played on Farm Aid, but were struggling & thus formed the Blues Butchers to get blues gigs. Shaw started singing with the band and before they knew it they were getting gigs all over town. Shaw recalls, “they were a terrific rock ‘n’ roll band trying to play the blues, and they literally were butchering it.”

That’s not the case anymore however. Jobs have been coming so steadily, they are booked several nights a week in blues bars from Dallas to New York, and when they play it is almost always to a packed house. Shaw says, “This is more than I’d ever hoped for, Kevin Mackey & John Sprott played some amazing gigs with some big-time people in The Nelsons, and they’ll tell you that this band gets a good reaction faster than anything they’ve been involved with. The response has just been mind-boggling.”

The band’s roster has since grown to include bass player Braxton Howle and keyboardist Tim Alexander, who has 5 Grammy wins under his belt for his work with the band Asleep at the Wheel. Tim is an amazing pianist and can often be found jammin’ out tunes on the accordion some nights as well. This band is packed with talent and has such a tremendous energy…it is no wonder their fans are willing to drive across the state of Texas to see them! And if you’ve ever been to Texas, you know that’s saying a lot.

San Antonio Opera Presents Don Giovani
February 17 at 8:00 PM
February 18 at 8:00 PM
February 19 at 2:00 PM
Considered by many the greatest opera ever written, this Mozart masterpiece exudes classic style while taking us on a journey through Don Giovanni's womanizing ways. They quickly lead to murder, jealousy, revenge and ultimately, his descent into Hell. Watch opera's bad boy crumble under his own arrogance while stirring up tempers around him, alive and dead.
Don Giovanni is an opera in two acts with music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and with an Italian libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte. Mozart entered the work into his catalogue as an "opera buffa". Although sometimes classified as comic, it blends comedy, melodrama and supernatural elements. As a staple of the standard operatic repertoire, it appears as number seven on Opera America's list of the 20 most-performed operas in North America.

Tonight The Dust Devils!
Representing Texas with their original southern-rockin', genre-bendin' "Farm-to-Market Rock'n'Roll" style of music, The Dust Devils' sophomore release, Gathering Dust was recorded between Willie Nelson's Pedernales Studio in Spicewood, TX and Emerald and Masterfonics in Nashville, TN.

The CD swept the 2006 Texas Music Awards winning "Album of the Year", "Song of the Year" (Walk On), "Female Vocalist of the Year" (Barbara Malteze), and "Vocal Duo of the Year." ..
Some of the talent assembled to perform on the CD include such legendary figures and top Nashville studio musicians as Barry Beckett (Bob Dylan, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Hank Williams, Jr.) and Glen Duncan (Earl Scruggs, Merle Haggard).

By a chance meeting, an instant friendship was formed with legendary photographer, Carl Dunn, (www.thisisrockandroll.com), who graciously offered up his services and contributed portrait photos of Malteze and Higgins for the CD's artwork package. Carl is known for his breathtaking photos of Led Zepplin, Janis Joplin, Robin Trower, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Ritchie Blackmore, Aerosmith and most every rock icon of that era. In 1998, Kevin Higgins and Barbara Malteze, (founding members of the group), hired their band, originally called The Cosmic Dust Devils, in Austin, while working on Higgins' solo CD, Dark Side of the Barn, which AllMusicGuide.com proclaimed was “…one of the classic country/folk/rock albums of that year.” The CD won “Album of the Year” at the 2000 Hill Country Music Awards. Higgins would go on to become a 2000 Kerrville “New Folk” Finalist later that year, earning the band a spot on the Main Stage at the 2001 Kerrville Folk Festival. Kevin Higgins, (guitars/vocals/songwriter), was raised in El Paso, playing in cover bands until he decided to pursue a career in songwriting. He moved to L.A. in the early '90s where he met Barbara Malteze, who was fronting her own blues rock band at the time. After the couple moved to Austin and recorded Higgins' solo CD, they formed the Cosmic Dust Devils, performing over 100 shows a year, all over the state of Texas. The group released a self-titled CD in 2002 which received rave reviews, such as "Higgins is quite possibly the next great Texas songwriter," -(Rockzilla.com); and "...a sparkling and important release" –(AllMusicGuide.com). In 2004, Higgins' song, “Company Time”, was placed in the movie “A Day Without A Mexican” (and released on the EMI soundtrack).
In early 2005, Barbara Malteze,(vocals/keyboards/mandolin), was invited to perform the headlining tribute at the "18th Annual Janis Joplin Birthday Bash" at the Port Arthur Civic Center. Back when Cashbox was the voice of the music industry, they wrote, "Barbara does know how to pump out ripping vocals." Malteze's past as L.A. heavy metal vocalist/songwriter for her self-titled band, Malteze, is still very much alive in Europe, as evidenced by a 3-page 2003 interview in Metal Maidens Magazine (Netherlands), the 2006 worldwide vinyl LP release of Count Your Blessings by Femetal Records, and a recent interview with "Heavy" Magazine (the 2nd largest heavy metal magazine in Germany), for the Nov. 2006 issue. Malteze continues to make waves in Texas, as she accepted the honor of "Female Vocalist of the Year" for two years in a row at the 2006 & 2007 Texas Music Awards, a feat of repetition that no other artist has accomplished thus far. ..
A Nashville music-industry showcase in 2006 garnered such reviews as “…they impressed at their showcase and are an act to watch.” –(CountryMusicFactsandNews.com). Founding member of Marshall Tucker Band, George McKorkle was on hand to introduce the band at the showcase...

XM Satellite Radio rotated cuts by the band on a regular basis beginning in Jan. 2006. In Sept. 2006, several Cumulus Broadcast stations picked up “Outlaw Girl” to brand their stations’ “outlaw” image. As of Feb. 2007, with practically no promotion, "Looking for Pearl" rose to 2 on the TexasTop40.com site, with over 5,000 downloads logged.
Critics have compared Higgins' songwriting to that of Townes Van Zandt, Neil Young, Patterson Hood, and Red Stegall. "...the sound of the South never went away - it just got better with age..." (4-1/2 star review) -(AllMusicGuide.com). Higgins went on to win 2nd place in the coveted 2006 B.W. Stevenson songwriting contest held in Dallas, (just to keep the critics honest).

The Dust Devils’ industry showcases have included "Windows on Texas", (a Texas Hill Country event held in January, similar to Austin's SXSW); an “Official Texas Party” CRS-37 showcase at the Renaissance Hotel in Nashville; “South by The Sons” showcase at the Sons of Hermann Hall in Dallas; and non-sanctioned appearances in Austin at Waterloo Ice House and Flipnotics during SXSW.

During the 4th Annual “Coastal Bender” , a huge fan-appreciation party held in Port Aransas, TX, The Dust Devils released a CD recorded in a week's time, Change in the Weather. The excitement surrounding the CD created quite a stir, with articles appearing; (Sept. 2006, “Rising Stars” special feature, Best in Texas Magazine), (Oct. 2006 cover story, Hill Country Happenings) and (Oct. 2006 feature interview, The Stars of Texas Magazine).

At one point, Change in the Weather charted at 25 on the Roots Music Report , staying there for several weeks.

The fans have been describing The Dust Devils as "the Led Zeppelin of Texas", because the band has a distinct way of "genre bending." They can lay down a hot honky tonk number; a ripping 70's rocker; then a bluegrass groove; scream thru a blues tune; caress a ballad...you never know what to expect with this group. And they do it all with energy, feel, abandon and talent. This is Americana at it's best...no one else is kickin' up dirt this hard, creating the real melting pot that folks call "Texas music."
Greg Patterson, DJ, KHYI 95.3, (Dallas), says it best, "...the Dust Devils are the Cinderella band of Texas..."
Encouraged by his bandmates to release a solo cd, Kevin released FIND YOUR SHINE on Little Train Records in Feb 2010. Funded soley by investors from his fan base and recorded in seven days at East Austin's premiere analog studio under the guidance of producer Stephen Doster (Nanci Griffith, James Honeyman-Scott) the cd has been receiving international critical acclaim, as well as reaching #53 on the Americana Chart.

Welcome Back Hector!

The son of Cuban refugees who met in Texas, Ward’s sixteen years of experience in the Austin music scene, including his previous band Sigmund Fraud, are obvious in the band’s high energy, dance-floor filling shows. The members include Ward on guitar and lead vocals, Cari Hutson on vocals, Phil Roach on guitar, Mike McGurk on drums and vibes, Scott Beardsley on bass guitar, and Dave Farris on congas and percussion.The horn line, known for enthusiastically leaving the stage and taking the music into the audience, includes Tiger Anaya on trumpet, Matthew Price on trombone, and Mitch Quintanilla on saxophone, flute and clarinet.

Of Hector Ward and the Big Time’s 2011 South by Southwest showcase, the Austin Chronicle wrote, “Being wheelchair-bound doesn’t hinder Hector Ward from leading one of the most dynamic new bands in Austin’s musical universe. With his huge growl and a nine-piece horn-fueled ensemble, the Big Time utterly attacks an assortment of styles, from Southern soul to Latin pop.”
