West Town Recording is very excited to be a part of the return of the legendary New Orleans singer Theryl “Houseman” DeClouet!

The Houseman is back! The New Orleans legend and former lead singer of Galactic is back with a new Chicago-based group led by The Jordan Years keyboardist Michael Cole. Theryl “Houseman” DeClouet was featured on the first six Galactic albums (four original studio albums) and has two critically-acclaimed solo albums to his credit.  Houseman left Galactic in 2004 due to health concerns and relocated to Chicago after Hurricane Katrina.  Theryl and Cole became friends late in 2009 and started working on new music and putting together a new group in his new home town of Chicago.  We are proud and excited to relaunch the Houseman’s career with a full-blown, authentic Mardi Gras show at Martyrs’ in Chicago. Tickets are on sale now for the show, which also features the horn-laden funk of Crystal Gravy.
