Little Jewford was 8 years old when he met Kinky Friedman at Echo Hill Ranch in 1958; and so, began a friendship and musical pairing that would last more than 60 years.
Little Jewford's Sentimental Journey will highlight songs from Kinky's catalog and the Great American Songbook - songs that were some of Kinky's favorites for Little Jewford to play. Throughout the evening Little Jewford will also be sharing a few of his favorite memories of Kinky and stories from their travels.
Not only Kinky's sidekick for many years, Little Jewford is also an accomplished pianist with a unique, entertaining style all his own.
