Saturday Matinee – Tab Benoit, Jonny Lang & Joe Louis Walker w/ Nasta Súper

Cajun party fun with Tab Benoit, Corey Duplechin on bass, Doug Gay on drums. Ain’t nobody sittin’ down at that show.

Straight outta Fargo: Jonny Lang had an early start in the blues business, earning a platinum record by the time he was 15 years old. To date, Lang has scored five albums in the top 50 of Billboard’s Top 200.

Blues Hall of Fame inductee and six-time Blues Music Award winner Joe Louis Walker teamed up with Nasta Súper, an Argentinian blues band lead by guitarist Rafael “Rafa” Nasta.

Seems it was just Halloween a few days ago and yesterday was Monday…  I gotta to find a way to slow down the calendar. See you tomorrow (unless it’s Christmas).

Saturday Matinee – The Heimatdamisch, The Iguanas & Tab Benoit

Highway to Hesse? Bon Goes to Bitburg? The Heimatdamisch is pure Oberkreiner rock.

The Iguanas album Nuevo Boogaloo (1994) had some catchy tunes, this being one of them. The Tex-Mex band from New Orleans has been doing it for decades on vinyl, stage, television and movies.

Tab Benoit, live at the Telluride Blues & Brews Festival 24 June 2022. Great hard driving blues. Not sure of the band lineup, unless it’s Swampland Jam.
Backing Benoit is Corey Duplechin on bass, Chip Vayenas on drums.

Long weekend for those who deserve it (like all of you reading this) and we’ll see you back here tomorrow just for the hell of it.

Saturday Matinee – Steve Gulley & New Pinnacle, Christopher Ameruoso, Tab Benoit & Tommy Castro with Samantha Fish

That’s Steve Gulley & New Pinnacle performing The Fiddle Player’s National Anthem in 2015(?). And yes, they got clogged by a buck dancer. “Orange Blossom Special” is probably the greatest train song ever, followed by the late Steve Goodman‘s “City of New Orleans.”

Nice 3-string electric cigar box slide git-fiddle from Christopher Ameruoso in 2015.

“Night Train” is a killer boogie jam by Tab Benoit, Tommy Castro & Samantha Fish recorded at The Birchmere, Alexandria, VA, 2014. Somewhere, John Lee Hooker is smiling.

Have a great weekend, folks. See you tomorrow.
