"HPMA Showcase Spotlight: QandA, "Roots-Based American Rock""

In the weeks leading up to the Houston Press Music Awards showcase on Sunday, August 4, Rocks Off will be profiling a handful of performers each day, mostly in their own words - part of the best top-to-bottum lineup the showcase has ever had, in our humble opinion. See the showcase schedule and ticket information at HPMusicAwards.com, and watch Twitter (@hprocksoff) every day until the showcase for your chance to win tickets. - Houston Press


"Best Local Rock Bands In Houston"

If the challenge is to name a popular four-year-old Houston rock band that effectively combines folk, rock and pop influences to produce two crowd-pleasing albums, the answer is Qanda. Pronounced Q & A, singer-songwriter Jordi Baizan, guitarist Andy Zipper, drummer Dustin Wolfe and man of many roles Mark Dulworth combined forces to craft “Floe” in 2010 and “285” last year. One reviewer compared Qanda’s sound to John Mayer but noted the songs about love and loss are kept upbeat and heartfelt without being overwrought. Fans give the band high marks for thoughtful songwriting and having a cool sound. The group has an upcoming show August 31 at the Old Quarter Acoustic Cafe in Galveston. - CBS Houston
