Last night marked the annual Texas Rocks On Holiday Bash hosted by The Recording Academy Texas Chapter. Grammy-winner Gilbert Velasquez, Paul Wall and legendary bassist Chuck Rainey all showed their support and enthusiasm at the industry event.

The year-end celebration, hosted by chapter President Paul Wall and Executive Director Theresa Jenkins, was an opportunity for Grammy members to reconnect, mingle and celebrate as a unit for the last time in 2010.

After his performance (alongside famed Hip-Hop jeweler TV Johnny/ Johnny Dang), a slim and trim Paul Wall sat down for anĀ exclusiveĀ interview, revealing details of his life as 19 year old rap star going platinum and, at 29, Ā having to fall in love with his craft allĀ overĀ again. Ā He also spoke with us about his future, a potential career in acting, his admiration for rock drummer/ entrepreneurĀ Travis Barker and brief encounter withĀ MatthewĀ McConaughey’s “naked bongos.”

Check out the photo gallery of the event below & the 2011 Grammy Noms.
