How about a little history on our entertainers for the fish fry?

David & Jimmy are good ole Beaumont boys! They grew up on southern rock and blues at an early age.

Both are singer/songwriters.

 In 2003 they released their collaborative album, Spurlock Road, generating them a path into American music. Out of the 25 songs on this album, 2 became top hits-“Best Times” and “Ringo” which were also co-written by the two brothers.

After two years of success the brothers decided to part and try to make it on their own.  In 2005 Jimmy formed his own band and released his debut album, “I’m Gone”. In 2006 he received his first Texas Music Award and in 2008 received TMA for Record of the Year.   Jimmy signed a national sponsorship in 2007 with Coors Brewing Company.

We are fortunate to have these two brothers as entertainment for our fish fry.  Each year between the two of them, they perform at over 200 events. 

Be sure to visit their respective web sites for more information in addition to their scheduled performances throughout the year.  You can also contact them on their web sites and view their history and promo links as well.
