Saturday Matinee – Little Charlie & The Nightcats, Justin Johnson & Altered Five Blues Band
Little Charlie & The Nightcats featured Rick Estrin on harp.
Justin Johnson cranked it up, floored it and blew the doors off. One of the greatest slide players around.
Altered Five Blues Band powers it up and flips the switch.
Kinda ran out of time (and steam) tonight, so I’ll make it short.

Saturday Matinee – The Heimatdamisch, The Iguanas & Tab Benoit
Highway to Hesse? Bon Goes to Bitburg? The Heimatdamisch is pure Oberkreiner rock.
The Iguanas album Nuevo Boogaloo (1994) had some catchy tunes, this being one of them. The Tex-Mex band from New Orleans has been doing it for decades on vinyl, stage, television and movies.
Tab Benoit, live at the Telluride Blues & Brews Festival 24 June 2022. Great hard driving blues. Not sure of the band lineup, unless it’s Swampland Jam.
Backing Benoit is Corey Duplechin on bass, Chip Vayenas on drums.
