Saturday Matinee – Tomislav Goluban w/ Crooked Eye Tommy, Jimmy Vivino & Julian Sas
Croatian harp player Tomislav Goluban teamed up with ocular alignment specialist Crooked Eye Tommy Marsh to promote virtual refreshments with virtual classic cars of questionable makes and models.
“Jimmy Vivino (aka Jimmy V) has always considered himself ‘a blues man with a job’. Although best known for serving 26 years as Conan O’Brien’s musical director, guitarist and bandleader, his experience in the music business predates that by 20 plus years.” – YouTube
Julian Sas : “I was born and raised in the Centre of The Netherlands in 1970 and grew up In a small town and had a normal childhood… The first years I spent my life living on a boat on the river. In fact I was born on that river.” His website cover photo is quite Kinison-esque.
Super Bowl Licks tomorrow, with chili on the menu and TV on the porch. You know what to do. See you by kickoff time.

Saturday Matinee – Indiara Sfair, Nick Waterhouse & the Carl Verheyen Band
Brazil native and harp virtuoso Indiara Sfair has a tutorial for harmonica beatboxing here.
Nick Waterhouse has an eclectic mix of styles: rockabilly, R&B, jazz and soul, with traces of both old Americana and modern indie rock. He likes vinyl records too.
Besides being guitarist for Supertramp, Carl Verheyen is “one of LA’s elite ‘first call’ session players for the past 40 years, playing on hundreds of records, movie soundtracks and television shows.” Unfortunately Verheyen’s videos don’t credit the band, but that’s Dave Marotta on bass, John Mader / drums, Troy Dexter / keyboards and Hollye Dexter / vocals.
Message to 2025: Please STFD and STFU. We’ve had just about enough of your shit. Take a breather. Message to everyone else: Porch time commences at the crack of noon. See you there.

Saturday Matinee – Clarence Gatemouth Brown w/ Canned Heat, Joe Louis Walker, and Kim Simmonds / Savoy Brown
Clarence Gatemouth Brown, backed by Canned Heat, one of the greatest blues revival bands ever. Gatemouth Brown was a rare talent, played multiple styles, and if you told him a 10 penny nail was a musical instrument, he could play it.
Joe Louis Walker has recorded with Ike Turner, Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal, and Steve Cropper. Per Billboard, his style “blows all over the map…gutbucket blues, joyous gospel, Rolling Stones-style rock crunch, and aching R&B. Walker’s guitar playing is fine and fierce.”
Welsh guitarist Kim Simmonds (1947-2022) was the founder, primary songwriter and sole constant member of the British blues rock band Savoy Brown. Very underrated band.
Fires are still burning in the west, Arctic temperatures in the east, and we’ve got a whip-cracker in DC. Very interesting year so far, and if this keeps up 2025 is going to be in rehab by March. Keep your eyes open, your heads down, and we’ll see you tomorrow for porchtime.

Saturday Matinee – HeavyDrunk, Nuno Mindelis & 19-Twenty
HeavyDrunk: “Sippi Dupree was my bus driver when I was a kid. He helped me through an emotional crisis when I was in 3rd grade, and became my friend. He disappeared the next year. This is his story.”
Nuno Mindelis (aka “The Beast from Brazil”) is an Angolan-born Brazilian blues guitarist and singer-songwriter. (His website’s bonky, gotta scroll down.) This song is sung in Kimbundo dialect according to the Utoobage notes, Google Translate says it’s Zaptotec, and it seems to be about bears.
19 Twenty is a roots blues / rock / punk band from Australia with a sizeable fan base who know all the words to Tramp Stamp.
Fires are still burning in California, people are still recovering from Hurricane Helene in North Carolina, news of just about everything is breaking hourly, and I hope 2025 stops dicking around and shows at least some respect. Meanwhile, I’ll be on the porch talking to dogs, see you at half past whenever you show up.
