Saturday Matinee – The Detonics, Wolf Mail & Shinyribs

Founded in 2014, The Detonics won the Dutch Blues Challenge in 2016 and wound up representing Europe in the 2017 International Blues Challenge. That same year they were semi-finalists at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis.

Canadian-born guitarist, singer-songwriter Wolf Mail began playing at the age of fourteen and has recorded eight full-length internationally distributed albums and has toured in over twenty-six countries. Backing Wolf is John Rinkevich / bass, Alex Polovinkin / drums, and Alexei Sechkin / keyboards.

Based in Austin, Texas, and fronted by Kevin “Shinyribs” Russel,
Shinyribs defies genres as a sonic melting pot of Texas Blues, New Orleans R&B funk, horn- driven Memphis Soul, country twang, border music, big band swing, and roots-rock.”

Whoa. What a week, and it’s not over yet. More food and visitors are on their way (along with more rain) but it’s all good. Porch might be crowded tomorrow but we’ve got spare benches. If we see you, we’ll see you.
