Saturday Matinee -The Firebird Trio, Mississippi Big Beat, and The Bloyet Brothers & Lourychords

Australia’s Firebird Trio takes the heart of rock and roll and nails it to your forehead with their cover of one of Lieber & Stoller’s most recorded tunes.

Mississippi Big Beat is/was a retro-future tehno-swamp blues group out of Budapest, Hungary: Founders Andor Oláh / blues harp and Csaba Gál Boogie / acoustic guitars, vocals, with Szabolcs Máté (Sab) / sound decks, turntables, and János Fekete / beatbox, drums.

The Bloyet Brothers & Lourychords are from Redon, France, play 1970s=style blues rock, they don’t have a website or bio that I could find and I have no idea who or what Lourychords is.

Guess where I’ll be tomorrow.
Yep. Good day for a porch sit. See you there.

Saturday Matinee – The Tarbox Ramblers, Fred Wesley & The New JBs, and Taj Mahal w/ Gregg Allman, Chris Stapleton & Little Bigtown

The Tarbox Ramblers: “If the Rolling Stones had happened 10 years earlier, hailed from Memphis and been produced by Ike Turner, they might have sounded like The Tarbox Ramblers. The way the Ramblers lay down their backroads grit and raw hillbilly-rock jive, you’re unlikely to hear a more genuine blast of sandpaper rhythm and roots.” – The Boston Herald

Fred Wesley & The New JBs is comprised of: Fred Wesley / trombone, Gary Winters / trumpet, Phillip Whack / saxophone, Bruce Cox / drums, Dwayne Dolphin / bass, Reggie Ward / guitar and Peter Madsen / keyboards.

Taj Mahal, with Gregg Allman, Chris Stapleton and the members of Little Bigtown do the Elmore James‘ classic.

Hot days… warm nights… the rat in the garage couldn’t sleep so he left on his own. I’ll have the house to myself tomorrow night which means pizza for me and leftover steamed vegetables for the possum. Porch time tomorrow is at porch time o’clock. See you then.
