Blues Against The Machine is a six-man blues/jump/boogie/rock supergroup with members from Portugal, Spain, Norway, Poland and Italy. Winners of several prestigious blues awards, BATM are headliners at many blues festivals around Europe.
The Future Shape Of Sound, aka The Church of Rock & Roll, advertise themselves as a “9-piece Rock’n’Roll Gospel Spectacle”. Three of the members have a side hustle as the award-winning Soca Divettes.
From his first hit in 1956 (I Can’t Quit You Baby) Otis Rush was the sound of West Side Chicago electric blues. His vocals and playing style influenced many who followed, including Buddy Guy, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughn (who named his band after Rush’s 1959 hit Double Trouble).
I intended to post something insightful and brilliant about the recent state of affairs but decided to save it for another time and another place.
Like tomorrow. On the porch. Be there or BL7.
