LIPS & THE TRIPS

From our Humble Beginnings to our Humble Middles, from The Ale House to the Tricou House, we always wanted to party with our mates!

This place made their own cherry wine that was beyond!  Loved playing there!

That's guitarist Gary Clark's left hand and Johnny Hessel on the drums. 

Gary's handsomeness blocked by mic.

My New Orleans Debut !!!  We were on a bill with The Sunset Heights Blues Band (also from Houston), Ivan Neville, Brian Stolz, and Cowboy Mouth!  Couldn't believe a lead drummer that sprayed on people...wow!
