Review "...might make people remember why they liked it [country music] in the first place." -- Zac Crain, Dallas Observer"Never Look Back is an auspicious piece of work." -- Mario Tarradell, Dallas Morning News About the Artist Brian Houser's roots grew deep in the country as he was raised in the rural Missouri countryside, just south of the city near the town of Antonia. The youngest of four children born to Brant and Jane, Brian grew up in a small house that his parents built with their own hands. Brant and Jane Houser were both actively interested in music and always had a wealth of instruments around the house while the children were growing up. This opportunity for musical exploration, combined with the musical interests of his older brother Doug, were to be the seeds that later would germinate into a musical career for Brian. Initially, he started learning to play the banjo in his early high school years but quickly switched to guitar when he discovered that bluegrass music, although fun, was not as expressive as some of the new artists that country music was spawning at that time. Brian’s brother took him to a Kris Kristofferson concert. This event was a turning point musically for Brian as he finally found a form of country music that spoke openly, honestly, and artistically about life and living. This would open the door to other legendary favorites, most notably Willie Nelson, and Johnny Cash. The next big turning point was when Brian moved to Texas and started his first band in San Antonio. Texas, his other true love, is where he still resides today, in the state where his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather were born. A carpenter by trade, music has always been a form of release and celebration for Brian. Usually every performance has been preceded by a forty-hour workweek and singing from a working man’s perspective fits his core belief that country music should be a true reflection of common people and their lives. The critically acclaimed "Never Look Back" was produced at the demand of his loyal followers in Texas and documents his emotions of a failed 10- year marriage. The attention garnished by this work led to performances with Jerry Jeff Walker, Robert Keen and, most notably, Willie Nelson. However, Brian still prefers the smaller venues where he can talk easily with the crowd. Although he has traveled abroad to such far away places as Italy and Guam to perform, Brian Houser remains firmly rooted in Denton among the strong support of the local people and the student population of the two universities that grace the town.
