With Harris’s love for music he started to communicate with independent musicians, which unfolded the creation of the SoupyGato show. The SoupyGato was born in 2005 with its first item premiering in 2006.

The SoupyGato just started as a weekly show but then Harris started to receive music from every genre. Harris played every song that was submitted and attempted to mix the selections as best he could. Harris played everything and had quite the unique sound to the show. Even the best of the best have submitted songs to the SoupyGato including children of the Willie Nelson, Bill Joel, and The Grateful Dead just to name a few.

Harris found his assistant, Rudolph, through his sense of humor with the show and his open-mindedness to beginning musicians and seasoned players.

Harris decided to put a twist on the show and started with doing a showcase starting with Israel. From that point he scheduled many different showcases and started to interview many famous musicians including Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad, Sebastian Bach of Skid Row, and Trey Gunn of King Crimson.

The SoupyGato is truly unique and can be found at www.soupygato.com. Harris has a very open-minded persona about him. He has created a work of art with the SoupyGato.

“I’ve always wanted to be known as something more than a blues guy,” says Doyle Bramhall II, a guitarist still known for his teenage association with Stevie Ray Vaughan, the Fabulous Thunderbirds and Double Trouble’s first post-Stevie outfit, the ARC Angels. But his heavy blues past notwithstanding, Bramhall is starting to look like he’s on the right path. Back in 1999, Bramhall handled the guitar chores for Roger Waters’ touring outfit. The Texan was playing in support of a new decidedly blues-free solo album, Jellycream. “It might have been easy to go in and cut 12 blues songs,” says Bramhall. “But it wouldn’t have been so easy to come across as if I were 100 percent into it. That’s just not where my head or my heart was.”

Jellycream makes it clear that Bramhall’s focus was on the Seventies-style classic rock dynamics. But don’t mistake a lack of blues for a lack of guitar. In fact, the bulk of Jellycream is so guitar-driven and so anthem-oriented that it seems to pick up where the ARC Angels left off back in 1993. “I thin I disappointed a lot of ARC Angels fans by staying away from guitar on that record,” Bramall says of his commercially unsuccessful Wendy & Lisa-produced solo debut. “But I think this record has a much larger guitar focus and a lot more energy. I’d say it’s closer to the ARC Angels than anything I’ve done since, but you’ve got to remember, that was the early Nineties and I’ve heard and learned a lot since then.”

Perhaps the primary post-ARC Angels lesson Bramhall has picked up on is how to play more for the song and less for the flashy solo. “ Jimmie [Vaughan] taught me how it’s possible to be a subtle guitarist and still stand out,” he says. “And I thin this album shows I can present hard-rockin’ stuff without lots of wankin’. But that doesn’t mean that everything I can do wasn’t on this record somewhere. Only now, it finally feels like it’s all come together.”
