- Tomcat Courtney's 80th Birthday Party! Tomcat Courtney has been called the greatest living example of the down home Texas blues tradition. He knew Lightnin' Hopkins, Lil' Son Jackson, and Smokey Hogg, whose musical styles are apparent in Tomcat's music. He came to California in the 1960s, stopping first in Flagstaff, Arizona, then living in Los Angeles before moving to San Diego in the 1970s. Tomcat's 2008 release Downsville Blues on the Blue Witch record label has recently propelled Tomcat into the international blues spotlight. Tomcat turned 80s years old this week, and will celebrate his birthday on Friday, January 30, 2009 at Humphrey's in San Diego. This show is being put on by Blues Lovers United of San Diego (Thanks to BLUSD president Michael Kinsman). Tomcat will be backed by Chris James, Patrick Rynn, Bob Corritore, and Kurt Kalker.
