The Reverend Horton Heat is headed for The Continental Club. ContClubHouston revhortonheat
“That was a really fun gig for me and I think it was the first time I got to play that stage since the pandemic. It’s been a while and that's kind of my home.” Heath is looking forward to finally playing the Houston club, one of the city’s few venues where audiences can get inches away from the heat radiating from his Gretsch guitar.
“I took my ratty little Stella guitar and started taking lessons. I didn't take lessons for very long because I started hanging around guys that were much better than me and I started learning ninth chords and blues licks,” says Heath describing his teacher's dismay at his jump in learning. Around the same time, after reading an ad in a magazine describing Stevie Ray Vaughan’s switch from Triple Threat to Double Trouble as a more “turned up and aggressive, Hendrix style of blues” Heath turned the mirror on himself.
“My dad was really correct to tell me that I could be wasting my life doing this music thing because it's so hard but what has ended up happening is that I’ve worked for Reverend Horton Heat longer than he worked for his company. Somehow Reverend Horton Heat proved him wrong and I’m grateful for his advice and grateful that he was wrong too.
