Sunday Bluesfest Report
I think everyone had a real good time at the Bluesfest last Sunday at Skippers. Kelly Dees put on a great show as did The Walker Smith Group it was my pleasure to share the stage with them. My band The Houserockers did a great job, we pulled out a few like Slide in My pocket that we haven’t done in a while. People really seemed to like the music, and what was so great about it was that the people had come to see Kelly, Walker, and us play, not just sitting through the show being polite waiting on the main national act to come out, they had come out to see us this evening. And what a good crowd about 250 people at the Skipperdome on a Sunday evening enjoying the music. We were called back for an encore, and after the show people were coming up saying how much they liked the show, getting pics and autographs from me and buying our CD’s and our new Trouble in the Southland T-Shirts to take home with them. All in all a great night, I was so happy everyone really liked our style of Delta Southern Blues. And a big Thanks to Lester Freeman for coming out and singing his hit he had back in 1967 with the Soul Brothers Six “Some Kind of Wonderful” with us that evening, he really had the crowd in the palm of his hand, a great showman, Thanks Again Lester. Also Thanks to Miss Nalanie Rothrock for coming in from Gainesville to do “Up to Memphis” with us, it was awesome, along with Shevonne who teamed up with Lester on “Proud Mary” to end the show. Hope to see everyone out there at the shows!
