Saturday Matinee – Alex Schultz w/ The Jacknives, The James Harman Band, and Kid Ramos & The 44’s

Alex Schultz (The Prince Of West Coast Blues Guitar) with Egidio ‘Juke’ Ingala‘s band The Jacknives.

“A song is like a women’s dress, it’s got to be long enough to cover the subject, but short enough to keep you interested.” –  James Harman (1946-2021)

Any list of west coast blues roots rockers include Kid Ramos & The 44’s. Ramos has played with almost every regional blues band worth a mention (and more). As for The 44’s, they can hold their own with no help.

Well, well, well. Another weekend is here, and since the world hasn’t fallen apart yet, I’ll be on the porch thinking I should be doing something important. See you tomorrow for a superficial in-depth discussion of whatever.

Saturday Matinee – Seratones, Sean Pittman w/ Aaron Griffin & Willie J. Campbell, and The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band

They’re part rock, part psychadelia, part R&B and part soul, but mostly Seratones is lead singer and guitar player A.J. Haynes. When asked what inspires her, she responded, “Afrofuturism.”

Backed by drummer Aaron Griffin and (the late) Willie J. Campbell on bass, Texas bluesman Shawn Pittman took a shot at Magic Sam’s Boogie at the Blues City Deli in St. Louis, (2018). Comment from the Utoobage: “Dude in front caught the vibe. Was later seen walking across the Mississippi to the Illinois side. Was epic.”

Heavy duty electric blues: The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band features the vocals of Noah Hunt, Chris Layton on drums, Kevin McCormick / bass and Joe Krown / keyboards.

Have a great weekend, and remember the meaning of Easter.
