John “Bubba†Gould Is a Guitarist, Steel Player,
and Singer who has been performing for the past
30 years in and around the Houston area.
He began his musical interest at a very early age
taking up the Piano while still in elementary school.
John then took up the Tenor Saxophone in school
which he played until his brother introduced him to
the Electric Guitar. John learned and studied the
Electric Guitar and Bass Guitar until the Country
Music craze entered. He toured the country with
several acts as a backup musician. The Pedal Steel
Guitar caught his interest and he began to study that
instrument and became very proficient at it as well.
John has had the good fortune to perform as a backup
musician playing the Steel Guitar with several of Country
Music’s big stars.
John is also well known in the Music Industry for his knowledge of Midi and
Computer Music technology. He has worked for Peavey Electronics and Behringer
as a product specialist due to his extensive knowledge in the workings and
interfacing of Music gear.
John incorporates the use of Midi and Computers to make his act as full and live
sounding as possible. He can add other musicians to the mix or just go with his
Itty Bitty Midi Band as he calls it. It gives him total control of every musical nuance
down to a single note or sound. One person can sound like a 20-piece band or a
small 3 or 4 piece combo. John has performed as a solo act for the last few years
playing at venues like Capps Piano Bar, Post Oak Grill, Molly’s, and Walden Yacht
Club, Gold Club, L C’s, Jack and Hectors, Henry Wayne’s just to name a few.
For 21 months John could be seen at The Casa Mexican Restaurant in Atascosita.
To this date that has been his longest stay at one venue.
