Greetings From Eppy: "The Old Roslyn address 19 Bryant Avenue resonates with musical legend and history. Originally a dilapidated country-western bar owned by Jay Lenihan, the place was bought by partners Michael “Eppy” Epstein and his cousin Richie Hersh in 1971. After teaming up with local radio station WLIR-FM, My Father’s Place—affectionately known as MFP—quickly became a hotbed for concerts and concert broadcasts. MFP presented Billy Joel’s first show after the release of his debut solo LP Cold Spring Harbor and Bruce Springsteen’s first show out of New Jersey, along with seminal radio concerts (including a classic by Lowell George and Little Feat in 1974). The venue kept live performance vital when the rest of Long Island—and perhaps the country—was discoing the night away. Besides reggae, punk music found a place to grow. Unlike most other clubs that highlighted one genre or one particular era of music, the variety of My Father's Place was possibly its most important trait. The club debuted in America most of reggae's biggest stars, helping to make the genre mainstream. Along with CBGB and Max's Kansas City, My Father's Place was a nurturing ground for young punk and new wave acts like The Runaways, The Ramones, Blondie, The Police, and Talking Heads. Country, bluegrass, and blues artists like Charlie Daniels, Linda Ronstadt, and Stevie Ray Vaughan performed early in their careers, while artists like James Brown, B.B. King, Johnny Winter and Bo Diddley played in the twilight of theirs.. My Father’s Place closed on May 3, 1987, with a blowout performance by the funk rock band Tower of Power, and an era came to an end. Today, the club lives on in the works of the many artists—now legends—who first performed on its stage and in the memories of those fortunate to have been a part of it all."

WES HOUSTON
For those of you who have not caught Wes over the years, check out his history:
Wes Houston has been creating vintage American music for more than five decades. As bandleader/guitarist for the Rev. Fredrick Douglas Kirkpatrick, Wes toured endlessly in the 1960’s and was one of the songwriters who wrote for Broadside Magazine, writing tunes with an eye on the ever-changing political/social climate. His work in this era is included on the 2000 Grammy-nominated “Best of Broadside” boxed set issued by the Smithsonian Institute, and on recordings with Sis Cunningham, Rev. Kirkpatrick and Elaine White, among others.
In the 1970’s Wes put together the All Star Space Band and continued touring using the best of the local pickers he could round up. They broke into the Long Island scene in the early 1970’s and paved the way for other bands to be able to write and perform their own material in an area that hadn’t really seen this happen before. Riding the mid-1970’s Long Island musical Renaissance, the band toured college towns and performed concerts all over the northeast.
The Wes Houston Band continued to play their blend of American blues, country, folk, bluegrass, jazz and rock through 2012, when Wes decided to cut back and reprise an earlier ‘bare bones’ trio sound. With his guitar and harmonica, along with long-time drummer, Ray Forgione, upright bass player and Wes Houston Band alumni, Steve Hawk, Wes continues his musical journey. So, as fads come and go, Wes Houston’s mainstay are strong lyrics, good melodies and above-par musicianship. As Wes says, “it worked then – it works now.”
Wes is also the host/producer of his own long running multi-award winning cable TV show, “Wes Houston Presents…” which showcases area artists and is a recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Long Island Music Hall of Fame.
