Texas-Style Piano Player and Band for Every Occasion
Ezra Charles has been one of the most popular piano players in Texas for over thirty years. He won the Houston Press Readers’ Poll for Best Keyboards six times, starting in 1992, most recently in 2013. In 2014 he received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the San Antonio Blues Society.
His musical adventure started in his hometown of Beaumont at age 14, when he played in Johnny and the Jammers, the first band organized by the Winter brothers, Johnny and Edgar. Moving to Houston to attend Rice University, he put together his first band, Thursday’s Children, and performed in concert with some of the biggest acts of the day. One of their singles was recently named by Texas Monthly as one of the seventeen most important Sixties records from the Texas Garage Band era.
