Hey Folks - Friday nights at the Mucky Duck in Houston just got better!! Come out and see myself and the rest of the Legendary Paraphernalia Band after the main show!!!
From the ashes of Roots Rock/Country jam band, Country Store Buffalo, and former inhabitants of the Duck Deck, The Mighty Front Porch Society, comes the Legendary Paraphernalia Band.
With members being profiled, alongside the greats, in books like Steve Harris' "Texas Troubadours," touted by Willie Nelson biographers, glorified in the Houston Press, included in the documentary "For the Sake of the Song," awarded by American So...ngwriter Magazine, the Wildflower Arts & Music Festival, Billboard World Songwriting Contest, and the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival, this could very well be, a definitive Houston band.
