Doc's Houston's Upcoming Shows

Two elite jazz quartets enter. Every solo counts. The winner is anyone’s guess.

Equal parts concert and comedy, "Battle of the Jazz Bands" is a wildly entertaining new way to experience jazz, played by seriously talented musicians who are very much in on the joke. Led by Doc Watkins, this live showdown puts brilliant jazz players head-to-head in a performance where anything can happen, and probably will.

Solos will be challenged. Rules may appear out of nowhere. Audience members might influence the outcome. And through all the surprise twists, musical curveballs, and onstage chaos, one thing is certain: the jazz will be GREAT.

Representing the home turf, Doc’s House Band, led by Graeme Francis. Crossing city lines to challenge them, coming all the way from San Antonio, the Jazz, TX House Band led by Brandon Guerra!

Our kitchen and bar will be open, serving up chef-crafted dishes and handcrafted cocktails to make your night complete. Come hungry, the food’s as good as the music!

See you at the battle!

South African musical theatre star and piano showman extraordinaire Jonathan Roxmouth makes his debut at Doc’s with a program as varied as his career. From behind the piano, Jonathan will be throwing everything but the kitchen sink into this one-of-a-kind performance. The audience can expect to hear classics old and new, from Beethoven to Broadway to Big Band, all delivered with his signature cheeky sense of humor. Described by some as the secret love child of Liberace and Jerry Lee Lewis, Jonathan joins the band on stage for an utterly unique evening celebrating all that the piano can do, and perhaps a few things it shouldn’t.

Having performed around the world, from Singapore to Seoul to South Africa, Jonathan makes his U.S. musical debut with a show that captures the showmanship, wit, and glamour of the golden age of entertainment. Jonathan will be joined on the bandstand by Chad Wesselkamper on bass, Miguel Olivares on sax, Greg Petito on guitar and Joe Beam on drums.

Fifteen years in, The Copa Kings are one of Texas's most versatile live acts. One set moves from Rat Pack swagger and Bobby Darin swing to Harry Connick Jr. groove, then turns on a dime into Fats Domino and Louis Armstrong New Orleans heat, with deep R&B running underneath. With four horns, two vocalists and a dynamic rhythm section, TCK brings high-energy American music played by a band that can deliver across the whole spectrum.

Billy Murphy, born in Southeast Texas but now calling Austin home, fronts the band with the phrasing of Sinatra and Dean, the high-octane energy of Harry Connick Jr., and the grit of Louis Armstrong and Louis Jordan, the kind of frontman who turns a set into a party. Barbara White, the 19-year-old Austin phenom, sings with the swing and chops of Ella and Billie, with an Aretha blues edge when the band leans R&B.

TCK has two studio albums out and a big-band record in the works featuring some of Austin's most celebrated players. The rhythm section and horns have shared stages and studios with Texas and Gulf Coast legends including Ray Benson, Marcia Ball, Alejandro Escovedo, and Irma Thomas, and the band has opened for Asleep at the Wheel at the storied Gruene Hall. Road-tested polish you can hear in every chart.

Tight horns, swinging rhythms, and a setlist that flows from standards to second-line grooves to sultry R&B. Come ready to swing.
