Stephen Simmons - the second set.
A bit more carefree, Stephen let it hang out a bit. Stephen gave the audience a real treat by playing a few songs from his forthcoming album.

Throughout the show, Stephen's between song patter included insights into the facts behind the songs -- inspirations, his thoughts during writings, as well as interesting side notes to the characters and events within the songs added even more depth to the already exceptional stories. These are the kinds of things you won't get on the radio, at a bar or at a large concert hall. The intimacy of house concerts afford performers the opportunity to open up and share.

Stephen's rendition of "Out on the Weekend" would have made Neil proud.
Hailing from Tennessee, PWP was pleased to offer Stephen a bit of Texas Hospitality in the was of a sampler bucket of ice cold beers featuring Shiner, St. Arnold, and of course, Lone Star.


After the show Stephen hung out for a while and visited. Here he and Katren look at the photos on the game room wall of fame, featuring photos of past PWP performers as well as some other artists the hosts have been lucky enough to get photographed with.

Thanks again to everyone that came to the show and of course a special thanks to Stephen Simmons.

Keep checking us out, cause the PWP summer house concert series is just getting started, with plenty of great shows coming up.
