New Music from a New Artist : The Ty Curtis Band

Great News Fans of "Those Monday Blues" !

Thanks to the generous nature of Blues musicians and certain well-known west coast Blues DJs, WWPV received the "Stubborn Mind" from The Ty Curtis Band.

You all know how I gushed and obsessed over Kirk Fletcher's "Shades of Blue". I am getting that same feeling with this independent artist, Ty Curtis and his debut CD. He wrote or co-wrote each song on the album in a variety of styles and tempos. I can't wait to play the Ty Curtis Band for Vermont. He writes, plays, and sings beyond his years with that authentic sincerity I seek in my favorite Blues CDs from independent artists.

I drove all around town with "Stubborn Mind" blasting in my car. I like the "album" cover picture too. It would make a great poster.

Woo Hoo!!!

Cheers,

A Geat Chance to Hear Blues, Up Close!!!

Hi Ya TMBers -

This is your chance to hear a great local blues band, up close & personal, The Left Eye Jump Blues Band will be playing at the 1820 Coffee House & Wine Bar on Route 15 (Essex) on Saturday, May 12. The music starts at 7pm.

Take an hour or more, listen to live Blues music and hang out with your neighbors.

I will be there!

Cheers,

OneChord

{Post Script : The show was great!! AquaLad, The Peanut and I caught the whole second set of Left Eye Jump Band w/"Harmonica" Bob MacKenzie providing that Blues harp sound we love so much. LEJ's Dennis Willmott led a completely kick-ass set featuring his acoustic slide work. The band was tight and had fun at the same time. Win-win for everyone in the room. -- OneChord, 05/14/2007}
