Houston Voice MAIN FEATURE; By DAWN RORIE Friday, May 20, 2005 --Anyone who was anyone on the Houston nightclub scene in the late 80s and early 90s knew Atwood and Comeaux. The musical duo took the Houston music scene by storm before they went their separate ways about a decade ago. In 2005 Jerry Atwood and Ricky Comeaux resurrected their musical partnership beginning with a $10,000 fundraiser for the Bering Omega Foundation, In Concert at Ovations Nightclub. Atwood and Comeaux are hardly new to the charity event scene. The list of the organizations that have benefited from the duos involvement with charity fundraisers includes the names of around 175 different organizations, including the End Hunger Network, the Hermann Foundation, the March of Dimes, the Chrons and Colitis Foundation and many AIDS-related causes such as DIFFA and Bering Omega. The duo has performed at the Wortham Center, Jones Hall and the grand opening of the George R. Brown Convention center in 1986. They have worked with Kenny G, Rich Little and Billy Stritch and have performed with and for a huge group of celebrities that includes Brooke Shields, Cloris Leachman and former President and Mrs. Bush. Looking back at the past 20+ years the duo can hardly believe what an amazing ride it has been. According to Ricky Comeaux, what is now Atwood and Comeaux started out as a few friends who loved to play music and wanted to get together to jam. As time passed by and other participants in their impromptu jam sessions moved away or began focusing on other things, Atwood and Comeaux began performing as a twosome. Comeaux played the keyboards and sang, and Atwood, who has been described as a one-man band, sang and played the other instruments. All of a sudden, before I knew it, we were working everywhere and doing all of this fun, cool stuff, remembers Comeaux. The group began playing at birthday parties, bar mitzvahs, cabarets, nightclubs; anywhere that booked duos and trios. From the local Steak and Ale to Baja Sams and the Post Oak Grill, the group was appearing virtually everywhere. In addition to the many charity events that the twosome have performed at over the years, they also contributed to Voices for Life, a recording project co-founded by Comeaux. The project, says Comeaux, was a local equivalent of the 'We Are the World' project and featured local groups, celebrities and the Houston Symphony. All together, the proceeds from the album raised just over $100,000 for local AIDS charities. Finally, after 14 years of performing together and raising an amazing amount of money for various charities, Jerry Atwood and Ricky Comeaux went their separate ways. Atwood stayed in Houston, working as an electrical engineer and continuing with his music career. In addition to performing at various charity events, Atwood is the founder of A Christmas Songfest, a tax-exempt charitable organization that has raised over a half-million dollars for local HIV/AIDS groups through its annual Christmas gala. After moving to Louisville and then Reno, Comeaux retired from singing and accepted the position of Executive Director at the Nevada Opera Association. His next job moved him to L.A. where he served as Vice-President of the Los Angeles Stage Alliance before returning to Houston in 2004. Over the years, Atwood and Comeaux's wide variety of music and energetic shows have created a diverse group of fans and loyal followers. The men perform everything from musical theater pieces by Andrew Lloyd Webber to songs made famous by Elton John and Ray Charles. The twosome was once well known for its The Phantom of the Opera performances at Ovations. Audiences would watch in awe as Comeaux emerged in a phantom cape and mask, passionately perform a segment from the musical and suddenly disappear in a puff of smoke. Simply said: an Atwood and Comeaux show has something to please everyone. Even more amazing than their musical skills is their continued willingness to help out with local charity organizations. It has been a fulfilling experience for both to use their musical talents to help raise money for worthy causes in the Houston community. ...
