The Errol Linton Band plays a cool ska to reggae blues mashup, described as “funky stuff, blues with a reggae tinge and jazz flavours, Black British music with roots in Mississippi and New Orleans, Kingston and London.“
Self-taught guitarist from the UK, Aynsley Lister learned by copying the sounds of Peter Green, Albert King, Eric Clapton and Paul Kossoff. (I hear some Robyn Trower in there too).
Gary Clark Jr.‘s influences and collaborations range from B.B. King, The Jackson 5 and Muddy Waters to Alicia Keys, Dave Grohl and Childish Gambino, and there are good reasons why he’s a four-time Grammy winner.
Only three days until The Great Election, and I expect fireworks regardless of the outcome – and not the good kind either…
In any case, the porch will be open for business as usual. See you there.

“In 1950, the world of wrestling was introduced to a masked competitor that called himself ‘Zuma, Man of Mars.’ Also known as ‘The Great Zuma’, the man entered the ring wearing a long cape secured with a chest plate bearing the letter ‘Z,’ and an otherworldly headpiece with an antenna-like top that concealed his face. Zuma gained popularity on the wrestling circuit during his debut year, garnering attention for being quick on his feet and winning the majority of his matches. It was that fancy footwork—and a striking resemblance—that ultimately unveiled the true identity of the mysterious Martian to be Carl J. Engstrom, a DePaul student and former star boxer for the university.”

Also known as ZGT, their music is categorized as gothabilly and/or hellbilly. One reviewer called them”Australia’s best kept secret. . . These mortuary musicians are the best thing psychobilly has seen since The Cramps.”
