Real Texas Blues, Guitar First
Texas Blues Revue with Nick Brown and The Blues Cruise
Thu, Jul 30, 2026 - Thu, Oct 08, 2026
Nick Brown grew up in Fort Worth. He plays tenor sax and clarinet with Asleep at the Wheel, ten-time Grammy winners. In 2023 he started his own band, The Blues Cruise, to chase a different sound: Texas guitar blues, more feel than polish. At Jazz, TX he steps out front and leads the whole night himself.

Texas Blues Revue with Nick Brown and The Blues Cruise
Thu, Oct 08
This is not just the familiar names. Brown and the Blues Cruise band also play Johnny Copeland, W.C. Clark, Big Mama Thornton, Johnny "Guitar" Watson, and Freddie King. Guitar first, grit intact. Brown trained on clarinet in Cincinnati and at the University of Texas, then spent years on the road across Central Texas. Catch the 7 o'clock set for an early dinner, or come at 9:30 when the room loosens up. Either way, it's the same band and the same set.
