Merry Christmas 2008.....
J.T. Reno & the House of Stone
contributed to the Holiday Festivities by
"Rockin" the joint down @ Brats Bar & Grill
At one point during the evening
Even the Chrsitmas tree was shaking
from all the vibrations on the dance floor!!
When J.T. Reno & the House of Stone
See this look on the dancers faces....
They know they have achieved their mission.
All of this fun was instigated by
that fun loving group; J.T. Reno & the House of Stone
Here is J.T. Reno
Lead Vocals & Rythm guitar
Stone Micheals
Lead Guitar (Extraordinary) & vocals
Did'r Z-Bass guitar
Leviticus J-Drummer
The toe tapping tunes of JT Reno & the House of Stone
don't let the dance floor stay empty long.
The dancing continues
Slowing things down a tad with a Hug your honey tune
off the Album - Lights of Home
The sweet sounds continue to keep the dancers entertained
Here is Levititcus J hard at work
He is one of the least photographed members of the House of Stone
Normally he is tucked in the back of the band hard at work.
quick as a flash
Looking for his que to start the next tune
Ohh ho, the guys are really getting ready to start cutting things up
You can tell by the grins on their faces.
They really do love... to do.... what they do!
The two steppin' continues
This is Stone, always lookin out for his pal J.T.
He is telling him "Hey brother, I think ya may have a little
pepper or somethin' in your teeth"
J.T. thanks Stone and returns the favor by checking Stone's teeth.
Naturally our gifted Bass player Did'r Z
doesnt want to be left out and the pepper check continues.
Chuck goes ahead and fingers notes for Did'r
While the sound/teeth check is underway
Pepper-Free J.T. shows off his teeth.
Our EXTREMELY gifted Bass Player, Did'r Z,
is not only pepper-free but is sporting a nifty new hat
Looking good Did'r!
Not wanting Did'r Z to upstage him,
J.T. tries on several new Neon Hats
this one is too small.
This Neon hats seems to be quite stunning
J.T. thinks it could be a winner.
Leviticus J STILL hard at work
Now the mouth harp has come out of one the dancers pockets
You know there is some heel kicking going on!
Standing room only at this point
Did'r Z in the moment
Our most gifted Bass player taking the lead.
Now JT Reno & the House of Stone have done it....
There is break dancing going on - no turning back now!!
We used an infra red camera to detect just how HOT
JT Reno & the House of Stone really are...
Proof positive, they are smoking HOT
After a quick break to cool off for a moment
The band takes the pace to the next level.
Even JT moved for this song!
Stones head goes down as he starts to groove on his lead
Can't get a still shot of Stone he is moving to the song
Same with the dancers Cant get them standing still
This song keeps everyone moving.
Here's Did'r Z moving to the beat
Leveticus throws his whole body into the rythm
Fast a lighting Did'r moves from chord to chord.
The boys slow things down a minute to catch their breath
As always, J.T. Reno & the House of Stone want to make sure the fans have as much fun as they do
Here they invite up some of the audience to share in the fun.
Chuck has to step outside to enjoy his smoke
As a result he can't hear the music
That makes Chuck sad.
Our guest wind up a great song
Enjoyed by all, band included.
J.T. takes a moment to introduce the band
and invite everyone to the Drifter next weekend in Silver City New Mexico
Another song that fits the mouth harp begs for some audience participation
Using our night vision we found JT howling at the moon
when he thought no one was looking
This is a first J.T. steps down off stage
while our guest entertains us with the mouth harp and JT dances with a fan!
Back up on stage switch gears to sing some sweet harmonies with Stone
The combination of Stone & J.T. compares to no other
This is a sound you don't want to miss.
Dancing and cheering are good signs in this business!
Sweet Home Alabama a crowd favorite
Just how long can he hold that note???
Mustang Sally is another to get everyone on their feet as well.
That's what we were after....Some genuine heel kicking!!
One last break, to rehydrate, before we hit the last set of the evening.
Stone sings "Aint got it to Give" another awesome original by Stone
The band tries out a request they have never played; Rambling Man
Not too shabby boys, its like you have always been playing it!
Hitting up the fans with some more sweet harmonies
These guys keep the crowd in awe.
A fan coming to get a closer look at the fancy fret work by Stone
Stone give the vocals his ALL
Another harmony and this night is almost complete
J.T. Reno & the House of Stone
singing the last tune for the night and wishing
Everyone a Merry Christmas 2008
A satisfied smile on Stones face
know they gave the crowd what they wanted
and everyone left happy
