The Elliott Walter Band (EWB)

In 1983 our time with Gerald Bennet ended.  We replaced him with two new members.  (Mark Cozart on keyboards and Scott Landon on lead guitar and steel guitar).  We also kept the initials of the band the same.  We continued playing many of the same rooms in the Houston area, so the transition was relatively easy.

Mark Cozart left EWB after only a few months.  Jerrel, Scott and I decided to pre-record any new songs that needed a keyboard after Mark left.

Our times with Scott Landon were enjoyable as our music continued to be quite diverse from Rock to Country.  We were playing more "Dance Gigs", but I feel it was the "patter" between songs that made us different from many of the bands that played the same venues as we did.  Our mailing list had grown to nearly 4,000 names.  Jerrel had become quite a prolific song writer.  We had the following (fans) to sell LPs, cassettes, CDs and T-Shirts wherever we were performing.

During this time (1984 -1988) we performed at:

(1) Crown Plaza Park 10 Hotel at I-10 and Hwy 6

(2) The Steak and Ale on the Southwest Freeway 

(3) The Holiday Inn Galveston

(4) The Roof at the The Westin Oaks Hotel Galleria

(5) The Ramada Inn on the Southwest Freeway

(6) The Texas Tumbleweed on Westheimer
