Last September Hooks released Tequila & Bullets, Jay Hooks' first studio album in years, to wide critical acclaim. Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Hooks cut his teeth on Gulf Coast blues, mixing Texas grit with rock-and-roll swagger. Jay toured extensively with Antone’s recording artist Lavelle White, earning his stripes night after night. By the late ‘90s, he was fronting his own band, recording the 1998 Sunburst album Hooked Up with producer Dan Workman. In 1999, Hooks signed with Dutch-based blues powerhouse Provogue Records, releasing Jay Hooks (2000, produced by the late Ben Elliott) and Red Line (2002, produced by Hadden Sayers, featuring Jerry Gaskill of King’s X on drums). Jay's fiery performances brought him to international stages, including a standout appearance on Germany’s legendary Rockpalast in 2003, solidifying his reputation as one of Texas’ most electrifying exports.
