About 1995 at the age of 15, JT started "chasing that dream behind the neon sign" playing in blues and rock clubs to fantastic audiences all over the South and ultimately New York City a few years later. JT, however, was never satisfied with the lack of country influence in his sets. He decided to drop the formula that kept him on stage for a far more rewarding original Texas sound. Drawing from influences that stretch from Tex-Mex, country, blues, funk, folk, and classic rock, he has developed a sound all his own. With a mixture of rocking Texas blues and roadhouse country, JT has created a thang that can only be described as Texas Music. A renowned performer, he was dubbed Elvis meets Jimi Hendrix while in the NYC clubs. His music though is more of a hybrid of ZZtop / Willie Nelson, or SRV / Bocephus. The lyrical content of his songwriting makes you realize the miles he carries with him even at such a young age. His words ring true for any listener at any age. Whether it's the irony of his saying goodbye to innocence and hello to life, the autobiographical feelings of an artist close to success on the road while worried subconsciously for his family at home, or quite simply a snapshot of life put into words, there is no mistaking the talent of this young man from South Texas. "Blues was born in the country and country was born in the blues. When they met in the Lone Star State, the flood began. That's my home."
