Saturday Matinee – Davide Pannozzo, Billy Gibbons & the BVG’s, and HAIM

Davide Pannozzo, with Etienne Stadwijk (keyboards) and Clint de Ganon (drums). Trained in classical guitar, Pannozzo opened a show for Magic Slim at the age of 14 and has been playing the blues ever since. A graduate of Rome’s Conservatory of Santa Cecilia, Pannozzo has won many awards, including Acoustic Solo Guitarist at the Emergenza European Acoustic Festival, the Groove Master Award for Best Italian Blues guitarist and Scotland’s Highland Uproar competition.

Billy Gibbons & the BFG’s grind up and pave over Jimmy Reed‘s 1959 classic Baby What You Want Me To Do . The BFG’s are Matt Sweeney, Danielle Haim and Tim Montana (at least they are in this lineup).

HAIM = sisters Este (bass and vocals), Danielle (lead vocals, guitar and drums), and Alana Haim (guitar, keyboards and vocals). Great cover of Fleetwood Mac’s 1969 hit Oh Well in front of a huge crowd.

Monday is National Confiscation Day, so don’t forget to mail your yearly pound of flesh to the bureaus that squander it – the beast gets all humpy when it hasn’t been fed. Have a great weekend and we’ll watch the rain tomorrow.
