Saturday Matinee – Mark Hummel’s Golden State / Lone Star Revue, Henrik Freischlader & FUZZRIDER

From the website: Mark Hummel’s Golden State / Lone Star Revue is an all-star, cross-country melding of musicians from California – Mark Hummel (harp-blower, vocalist, bandleader and Grammy nominee), R.W. Grigsby (bassist) – and Texans Anson Funderburgh (guitarist and Rockets bandleader), Mike Keller (Double Trouble, Fabulous Thunderbirds) and Wes Starr (famed Austin drummer who has played with a who’s who of Texas music royalty).

German blues guitarist, singer-songwriter, producer and self-taught multi-instrumentalist from Wuppertal, Germany, Henrik Freischlader plays all flavors of the blues.

FUZZRIDER is a relatively new heavy blues super trio from Athens Greece: Jim Lord / guitars and vocals, Nick Giannoulis /  bass and Brian Velentzas / drums.

Lotta news flying around and splattering all over the pavement. No point in listing it all here, you’ve heard most of the official contradictory reports by now. Seems like tomorrow might be a good time to watch dogs from the porch and let things sort themselves out. See you there.

Saturday Matinee – The Black Hole, Carolyn Wonderland, The Henrik Freischlader Trio & The Gary Hoey Band

The Black Hole (UK, 2008) is a short film starring Napoleon Ryan and a hole, directed by Phil Sampson and Olly Williams (Phil and Olly) who may or may not have been fans of Warner Bros. cartoons.

“Carolyn Wonderland  describes herself as ‘a guitarist in a roomful of singers and a singer in a roomful of guitarists,’ was recently called ‘one of Texas’ finest Americana guitar-slingers’ by her hometown newspaper, The Austin American-Statesman.” – Alligator Records

The Henrik Freischlader Trio plays some damn good funkified blues. Freischlader is a German blues guitarist, singer-songwriter, producer, and self-taught multi-instrumentalist from Wuppertal, Germany.

Gary Hoey was in diapers when the Chantays recorded their 1962 classic, and he rips it up with respect.

Way too much happened this past week. I think some of the sensory overload is intentional and unnecessary, but we’ll cope.
Porch. Tomorrow. Noonish.
