IBSC 19 Bad Boys of the Blues

Hey Everyone, well, Greenwich mean time not central daylights saving time is what Podbean goes by:-)   So I kinda of figured as such, but hey, you get the show early tonight!   tonights show is the bad boys of the blues. This is my current Blues band.  Raw blues at its best LIVE!!!   These are from two recordings at the Hull Ave.  One was from the Sunday night jam and the other from the Women In Blues Show two.  Both recorded by Lee Bell, with the exception of one song Baby Don't Do It, which was recorded at the Ingersoll Tap.  This is my band so I sing half the songs, the other half are by the Legendary Jon East.  Jon is a great jump, blues and rockabilly guitar player.  I have played with Jon off and on since 1990.  Joining us on bass guitar is Norman Sue. Norm has played with many bands and different styles.  He is a professional musician of the highest caliber.  He mostly know locally for playing Tango, but he also played with Link Ray.  On drums is Scotty Hartung of Scotty and the Wingtips.  Scotty is the heart of the band.  He is a drummer who can move a crowd. Probably the best dance drummer in town.  Next week should be the first new show since 2003.  If you are in town come join us!!!

Iowa Blues Showcase 17

Hey everyone!!!!!   Episode 17 is on the air featuring Roy Cashmen and Jeff Baker.  Roy lived briefly in Iowa and was recorded several times by the Iowa Blues showcase.  I did a google search for him and found that at least up to around 2008 he was still playing guitar.  If you know him let him know he is on the air worldwide on our podcast!!!!!   Jeff is currently playing with the El Dorados which is an Alt Country band in Des Moines.  Unlike bro country, the El Dorados play rough and tumble old time country with a twang.  Jeff now plays bass, but back in the day he was a guitar slinger.

Taylor Hicks LIVE!!!!

Its been awhile since I have posted some Taylor Hicks!   Hey Soul Patrol hows it's going!  I am always grateful when Taylor plays the blues.  Things are tough right now and even on the local level it is hard to convince bar owners to hire blues bands.  With people like Taylor out there playing the blues gives me hope.  If Taylor is in your area you need to see him.  The man is a true hero of soul and blues. Thanks for keeping the blues alive!!!!
