It's all about the Mustard ... Funky Mustard that is. Bubblin' crude and pure rock that is steeped in the tradition that has your soul rockin', like the masters of rock . Much like the Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead, Jethro Tull, U2, and AC/DC. Rockin' and Rollin' on the cutting edge. But, I want to know if your gonna leave any Mustard in that jar? I dig the sounds boys, keep the fire burning. Please remember, I always like it when you go down to Nawlins, especially like back in '67.
- Jeff Kelley - FM 90.9 KTSU - Jazz in all its wonderful colors.
Funky Mustard defies description. Their infectious melodies , and heartfelt lyric's are the stuff that legends are made of .
Funky Mustard was just a song originally. It stands for that Jar of Mustard in your Frig with the spicy Herb's , and rough cut seed's that give it Flavor . Adding to it , from time to time with other seasoning's . Giving it that Odd mix of Spice , and flavor that you have yet to discover .
Kevin Crenshaw resident drummer , and Singer/songwriter/Guitarist Larry D. White have played together for over 15 years in various Cover bands in , and around Houston . Sneakyhurl was probably their most notable. Playing classic cover songs like , ZZ Top , Allman Bros, Credence Clearwater Revival , and Led Zeppelin at several local Bars . After discovering Reggae in the late 80's , and falling back in love with Jazz in the 90's , Larry was itching to create a new sound. It began in the fall of 2002 . It was a power rock group in the beginning with 2 guitars . But several instruments have been added in the last couple of years to reveal a different sounding music . An ever changing evolving sound . No rules were applied, and still do not exist in their song writing. With Pat Cox on Base, they have settled into a natural rhythm . Pat brings hard rockin bass lines , with an abstract style to the mix. Sparky Parker of "The Rising" has added a soulful hardrockin vibe to everything Mustard . Be sure , and catch 'The Rising" at a venue near you . Carlos Johnson lends a worldly flare to this rounded out mix with his unique percussion style. Literally writing songs from their life experience's , and memories has been their approach to writing songs . Alternate tuning , and playing in strange modal textures have now set the stage for a completely different approach to music . This music has no boundaries , and changes genres from song to song . You will be challenged to put them in just 2 different categories of music .
Larry White was born in Athens Tx. , and raised for the most part in San Antonio , Tx after stints as a child in The San Francisco/Oakland Bay Area , and attending grade school in New Orleans , La , as well as Uvalde, Tx , before settling again in San Antonio , and graduating from Tom C. Clark High. Kevin Crenshaw was born in Denton Tx. But raised in Houston mostly all of his life. He attended Baylor university on a Music scholarship , and work as a Factory Rep in outside Sale's . Gardner Headrick , born , and raised in Houston Tx. has played in a couple of different local bands including "Sneakyhurl" for a while , and presently in "Algae". Gardner has a daughter Kaitlan , and a son Travis . Carlos Johnson can be seen playing all over town , as well as with the Fondue Monks, when he isn't teaching percusion somewhere . Don't be surprised to see Sparky Parker lighting up the stage on any given night all over Houston town , he is a site for sore eye's . Don't miss his Band "Bayou Monster" now playing several venues around the South.
Houston is a city big on culture . Funky Mustard like's to bring all of these cultural effects to the middle of what they create . With 5 completed Cd's the Jar get's thicker every time they play together . They can be seen playing in Houston @ Dan Electros Guitar bar where we they seem to have found a home for their unique sound , and style of music.
This is the new Melting Pot Rock & Roll!
