Pops
Bayless brings over three decades of performing experience to the
festival. He is a founding member of The Asylum Street Spankers and the
Shorty Long Band.
His Off-Broadway musical review, American
Novelty, premiered at the Theatre For the New City in Manhattan, NYC,
April of 2006. Pops' original music has been used in various film and
television projects including MTV's Austin Stories and the film No
Vacancy.
He is currently playing jazz and blues with Bernson
& Bayless. Perhaps the only professional ukulele player working
full time in Texas, Pops is known for his rousing right hand strums,
original novelty jazz songs and a new found penchant for playing the
Blues on the ukulele.
An accomplished teacher, Pops will have you playing in nothing flat and drooling for more... "
