The Handsomes Tickets

Hailing from Houston, The Handsomes are a ska-infused pop/funk quartet known for their catchy hooks, danceable rhythms, and reggae-infused grooves. Formed in 2003 by vocalist Jordon Blackwell and guitarist David Nachtigall, the group later expanded with Ben Stark on bass and Patrick Kelly on drums. With a sound that blends ska, pop, funk, and dancehall influences, they built a local following through energetic live performances and independent releases.
