BIO
My original band was the T.P. Waterhouse Jug Band and Electric Screendoor Salesmen. I went on to have a few songs produced by B.B. King for Just the Blues and "Country Song" was recorded by Pure Prairie League, among others. COLLEGE DAZE In October of 2007 those lovable maniacs from the original Mobobrious PIT (It's a long story) put together a college reunion bash at the bar where all the bands played; JB's (now kown ast Fat Jimmy's). So there I was on our college era stage with my college era drummer (Spider Allen) and bass player "Cute" Bill Brauning) rockin' in the same bar we used to go to drink 3.2 beer and listening to Joe Walsh, Devo, Chrissie Hynde, and Phil Keagy of Glassharp. Michale Keaton was hangin' out there during this time, too. RESUMÉ Band manager, ad copywriter, marketing genius, actor on stage and local TV ads and currently marketing consultant for wine industry, health products and a new record label (www.HarvestRoadMusic). I live and work in the heart of California's fastest growing, and now third largest wine region. I'm involved in wine marketing and playing live at wine related events and I host a radio show called "Grapevine Radio," on KVEC 920 AM. Also available as a live stream and podcast at the website: www.grapevineradio.net. FAVE RAVES Saw Alejandro Escovedo (brother of Pete Escovedo, longtime percussionist with Santana and Shiela E.)on Austin City Limits. Wow. His recent album "Boxing Mirror" is great. Allison Krause & Robert Plant...wow! WILCO... I'm in awe. WILCO, Robert Plant/Allison Krauss, Golden Smog and TONY JOE WHITE. |

I made "Diamond on Fire," a new "rough cuts" CD, with 16 tunes, available for $6.95. I was waiting to get into the studio but I had so many requests for this I just went and did it on my own.
Blues, Americana, humor, R&B and a little country, just to round it all out. |
New YouTube video of Cliff (aka T.P. Waterhouse) performing Monkey in My Cereal with his original college band drummer, Greg "Spider" Allen and bass player, "Cute" Bill Brauning along with the famous Tony Koussa, Jr. on keyboard and Super Scotty on lead guitar.
This was at the Mobobrious PIT reunion bash held at Fat Jimmy's (in our days known as JB's) middle of October '07. This is the same bar where we would see Joe Walsh, Chrisse Hynde, the guys that would be DEVO and the guitar wizard that Jimi Hendrix called the best he'd ever heard, Phil Keagy of Glassharp. |
Check out this new record label called Harvest Road Music that is devoted to "the sounds of wine country." The first CD in the series is titled, "Uncorked." It's a compilation that contains national and local artists.
