Brendan Kelly

 

 

 

In the face of adversity, some people just flourish by sheer determination!

At aged six, Brendan was the victim of a road traffic accident and was pronounced clinically dead. He had to be revived in hospital, but was left paralyzed and told he'd never walk again!Brendan saw this as a challenge and, after many years of surgeries and through his personal strength of character and sheer determination, Brendan proved the Doctors wrong.

Brendan always had a love for music, and at age twelve he could play three chords on his guitar. Then he began writing songs. He soon became 'The Entertainer' within his local area.This is Brendan's first venture into recording his own songs, and described the experience as "euphoric - like reliving my childhood"!

Since his first single release in 2017, Brendan has over two million video views. Winning many awards for his song writing in the UK & America. His first album of original music was released in 2019 “ Our Crusade “.

Brendan’s new single “ BROTHER “ November 2021

This song is based on the bond between brothers and the bond between friends growing up. Always having each other’s back, never running away from whatever was in front of us. Always being there for each other. As time goes by, even when life gives you a hard time, whether it be mental health, financial or family issues, we will always be there for each other.Giving advice and support to each other. It will get better for you and I will be right by your side until it does, “ As the song says “ “ Go out and live your life “

Madison Mueller

 

Madison Mueller's unique sound and style has captured the hearts of those that have been watching her grow online over the past 8 years, as well as those that catch her live shows, up-close and personal.
Madison grew up in the heart of Barrie, Ontario, which has been a hub for art and music for the past 15 years or more, which she has contributed to for most of her musical journey. Whether it be teaching piano and vocals for the past six years, playing at local bars and venues, or out busking downtown during the summer months, Madison is very involved in making her presence known locally. She has been working with a Canadian Co-Operative called OMCI for the past three years, learning, and now teaching the ins and outs of the music industry to aspiring musicians and artists. Her love for her community and those within it brought her to receiving the Emerging Artist Award at the Barrie Arts Awards in 2019.

Since 2016, Madison has been releasing music on all the major streaming platforms. Her first single, “Who Am I?” began to gain online and FM radio-play after it’s release, and since then she has been consistently putting out new music each year that has been receiving the same accolades and traction across many different countries around the world.

Since her first release, Madison has given her fans five other singles, several of which have been nominated for different independent award shows, and has also topped the charts on several online radio stations! Madison began gaining more of a presence in the industry when she began to travel to different places to propel her career forward! She attended Judy Stakee Songwriting Retreat in Nashville, Tennessee in 2017, and then in 2018 she was a feature performer at the Millenium Music Conference in Pennsylvania. One of her most influential trips was to the Josie Music Awards in Tennessee, coined as the largest independent awards show in the world. In 2018, she won Young Adult Artist of the Year, and in 2019 she took home Pop/Contemporary Rising Star of the Year. In 2019, she also attended the International Singer-Songwriter Awards in Atlanta, where she performed at the after show, and took home the award for International Female Rising Star of the Year; and in 2020 she won International Young Adult Artist of the Year, as well as the International Silver Music Video of the Year for her song “Exhale”! Her most recent trip to the United States was to record her song “Too Nice”, which was produced in Pennsylvania with Andrew Chervak from MIDNIGHT STUDIOS.

Madison’s newest release is a song called “Sweet Bitterness”, which was released April 28th, 2021. With this song, the desire to look at life the same way you would when you were a child is the most prominent source of inspiration. The hitting line in the song is “I wanna feel alive”, which encompasses the entire meaning of the song. The song was co-produced with Michael Jack, a very talented producer who has worked with artists such as Rush, The Trews, Hillary Duff, Bono, and many others. He has had singles charting on Billboard, and has received 25 Gold and Platinum Records. “Sweet Bitterness” also includes several other talented artists that have received national, and international awards over the past decades. The song has been nominated for "Song of the Year" at both The Josie Music Awards and The International Singer Songwriter Awards!

While she has garnered quite a bit of attention from these accomplishments, you wouldn’t expect it from the young artist. Her ability to remain genuine and humble throughout all her successes is some of what keeps people coming back to see what else the songwriter is achieving. Her music, with storytelling and vocals that remind people of Joni Mitchell, mixed with a modern pop/rock flare, appeal to many different groups of people. Her goal is to allow her audience the ability to relate and see themselves in her songs, no matter the age or demographic.

With a lively personality, ability to experiment, and talent for songwriting, Madison Mueller is an up and coming artist that you’ll want to keep your eyes on.

Gov’t Mule

Influenced by jazz, blues, and rock music, Gov’t Mule blends these styles into their own version of an improvisational power trio. Drummer Matt Abts, singer/guitarist Warren Haynes, and bassist Allen Woody formed the group in 1994, while the latter two were still in the Allman Brothers Band. After three years, the trio decided to dedicate all of their time to Gov’t Mule. After Woody died in August of 2000, Gov’t Mule continued to record and tour with guest bass players.

By the time they formed Gov’t Mule, each of the members brought years of rock ‘n’ roll experience to the recording studio, as well as to the stage. Haynes, a native of Asheville, North Carolina, previously played with David Allen Coe and the Dickey Betts Band. He joined the Allman Brothers Band in 1989 and recorded five albums with the group. He also released a solo album, called Tales of Ordinary Madness, in 1993. Woody was born and raised in the musical city of Nashville, Tennessee. In the mid-1980s, he performed with the Artimus Pyle Band and then joined the Allman Brothers Band, where he met Haynes. Born in Oklahoma, Abts grew used to traveling at a young age, when he and his family moved to various military bases around the world. At the age of 16, Abts settled down in Virginia. He played with groups like Montrose and with Mick Taylor, former guitarist for the Rolling Stones. He met Haynes when they played together in the Dickey Betts Band.

The birth of Gov’t Mule began with a conversation between Haynes and Woody while they were on tour with the Allman Brothers Band in 1994. They started talking about the extinction of the improvisational power trio in music and their interest in bringing it back. Woody decided that all they needed was a drummer to make it happen, and Haynes knew just the person. Haynes told Woody about Abts.

The duo decided to get together with Abts for a jam session in a Los Angeles club after an Allman Brothers show. The chemistry worked immediately. “It was pretty exciting,” Haynes recalled in the band’s biography on the Gov’t Mule official website. “As we played together more and more, we got to thinking that maybe we should put the time and effort into making it a real band.” The group’s name was found during a conversation between Woody and Allman Brothers Band drummer Jai Johanny Johanson. Johanson had used the phrase in the conversation, and Woody liked it so much that he suggested it to Abts and Haynes. “It can mean different things to different people,” Haynes explained in the Gov’t Mule official website biography. “Besides, the name kind of describes us: we’re a slow, hard-working, non-glorious animal.”

With their name in place, the trio headed into the recording studio to produce their debut, Gov’t Mule, which was released on Relativity Records in 1995.

Vargas Blues Band

 

Javier Vargas is the creator of the Vargas Blues Band, he was born in Madrid in 1955, but his family moved to Argentina when he was barely six years old. At the age of ten, his father gave him his first guitar and he began guitar and music theory lessons, although he soon grew tired of those classes and continued to learn on his own. He is self-taught in music. His beginnings were influenced by blues, the fashionable rhythm at the time. In 1971 he went to Venezuela, although it would not be long before he left for the United States, where he really wanted to learn from the true blues masters and discover the new prevailing trends. 

His first contact in North America took him to Tennessee, where he drank from the sources of country and collaborated with the Loco Covers Band, doing covers of famous groups. His next step was to go to Los Angeles, where he rubbed shoulders with many established stars, such as Van Halen. In 1977 he returned to Spain. In his beginnings he collaborated with Miguel Ríos, Joaquín Sabina and Manolo Tena, with whom he made the album 'Sangre Española'. Parallel to these collaborations, he created the band called 'Vargas Blues Band', with a bass and a drummer, and dedicated himself to touring Spain to make himself known. In 1991 he published his first album, 'All Around Blues', with the collaboration of Elena Figueroa, among other prominent friends. In 1992 he published 'Madrid-Memphis', with which he achieved notable success in Spain and sold a considerable number of copies. In 1994 he released his third album, 'Blues Latino', with the collaboration of Chris Rea, Andrés Calamaro and Flaco Jiménez among others.

 The title track of the album was also performed by Carlos Santana on his album 'Santana Brothers'. A year later, the Vargas Blues Band published 'Texas Tango', recorded in the United States, and in 1996 Carlos Santana invited him to participate in a concert in Paris, in which they played as a duo. In 1997 'Gipsy Boogie' came out and a year later 'Feedback' and 'Bluestrology', which includes his songs with more blues feeling. In 2000 he released 'Madrid-Chicago Live', a live compilation of his best songs.

John Lee Hooker

 

John Lee Hooker, bynames John Lee Booker, John Lee Cooker, Texas Slim, and Birmingham Sam and His Magic Guitar, (born August 22, 1917, Clarksdale, Mississippi, U.S.—died June 21, 2001, Los Altos, California), American blues singer-guitarist, one of the most distinctive artists in the electric blues idiom.

Born into a Mississippi sharecropping family, Hooker learned to play the guitar from his stepfather and developed an interest in gospel music as a child. In 1943 he moved to Detroit, Michigan, where he made his mark as a blues musician. On such early records as “Boogie Chillen,” “Crawling King Snake,” and “Weeping Willow (Boogie)” (1948–49), Hooker, accompanied only by an electric guitar, revealed his best qualities: aggressive energy in fast boogies and no less intensity in stark, slow blues. A primitive guitarist, he played simple harmonies, pentatonic scales, and one-chord, modal harmonic structures. Later hits included “Dimples” (1956) and “Boom Boom” (1962). He toured widely from the 1950s and appeared in the motion pictures The Blues Brothers (1980) and The Color Purple (1985). Hooker, whose music influenced such bands as the Rolling Stones and the Animals, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991. Among the more than 100 albums he recorded are The Healer (1989), which features appearances by Bonnie Raitt and Carlos Santana; the Grammy Award-winning Don’t Look Back (1997); and The Best of Friends (1998).

Lance Lopez

 

There's no doubt about it, the state of Texas is well known world wide for its fiery blues guitar players.

Even just a cursory look will reveal the state's rich tradition, which easily rivals Chicago and Mississippi for producing players who have been both originators and contributors to the legacy of the guitar's significant role in the genre's history. Dating back to the 1920's with "Blind" Lemon Jefferson, continuing through the 1950's with such legends as Freddie King, T-Bone Walker and "Lightning" Hopkins, with the advent of the rock era of the 1960's the pressure cooker exploded.

Albino blues giant Johnny Winter, from Beaumont, in 1968 was signed to what was then the largest advance in the history of the recording industry---$600,000. Houston's ZZ Top, with the Reverend Willie G, i.e. Billy F. Gibbons - armed with a '59 Les Paul- during the 70's went from being "That little ol' band from Texas" to being world wide ambassadors with their unique brand of deep blues infused boogie rock.

Although disco and subsequently new wave lessened blues rock's influence in the late 70's, by 1983 it was another native Texan, Dallas born Stevie Ray Vaughan, whose combination of raw blues mixed with Hendrix styled pyrotechnics spearheaded yet another resurrection as the genre rose its evil head once again. A breath of much needed fresh air amongst the synth heavy offerings on MTV and radio airwaves of the time, the guitarist's massive influence has extended long beyond his untimely, tragic death twenty years ago.

One such player whom Vaughan touched the soul of was young, gifted blues/rock axeslinger Lance Lopez. Although born in Shreveport, Louisiana, at the age of 12, his family moved to Dallas, where with the exception of a spell back in New Orleans and Southwest Florida, the guitarist has called his home ever since.

A professional musician since the age of 14 when he began playing local bars in and around the New Orleans, Louisiana area, at 17 he was hired by soul great Johnnie Taylor, with whom he toured for six months. By 18 he was hired as the band leader of blues legend Lucky Peterson's band, spending three years touring throughout the world.

It was while with Peterson in Europe that he struck up a close friendship with the larger than life drummer Buddy Miles, subsequently becoming the guitarist for The Buddy Miles Express for a brief time. The former Band Of Gypsys legend would go on to mentor Lopez, leading to him co producing his debut album 'First Things First', along with Grammy winning producer Jay Newland (Norah Jones) which was released independently in 1998.

From 2003 to 2007 Lopez recorded, and released three studio and one live CD for a small independent label, Grooveyard Records - all of which were heavily influenced by another of the guitarist's main influences - Jimi Hendrix. Despite the hindrance of being released on such a label, the albums are all prime examples of post Hendrix heavy blues, filled to the brim with awe inspiring fretwork, which led to him garnering a cult following amongst guitar fanatics world wide.
After a three year break, Lopez came back with a brand new studio album 'Salvation From Sundown', his first release on MIG Music/String Commander Records, based in Hannover, Germany. 'Salvation From Sundown was produced by legendary Producer/Engineer, Jim Gaines (Stevie Ray Vaughan, Santana) 

Intentionally conceived as a more traditional Texas blues styled offering, which has elicited none other than guitar god Jeff Beck to call him "A very exciting and intense blues guitarist".   In 2012, MIG Music released 'Handmade Music', Lopez's 6th studio album. Again, he worked with legendary producer Jim Gaines and recorded at the legendary Ardent Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. It's one of  the guitarist's most mature recordings to date, showcasing strong songwriting while still retaining the red-hot fretwork. 'Handmade Music' shows him poised to take his rightful place as one of the finest blues players on the planet. In 2013 Lance began work on his 7th album with Producer Fabrizio Grossi (Joe Bonamassa, Leslie West, Steve Vai) in Los Angeles. They are currently writing and recording material for this new album. 

Lance Lopez continues to tour internationally playing, clubs, Blues, Jazz and Rock Festivals, biker rallys, charity events and concerts. He  also works as a producer and songwriter for other artist, as well as teaching guitar lessons to hand picked students when his schedule allows. If you are just now discovering what many die-hard fans of obscure Blues-Rock and guitar music have known about for many years, take the time to delve into Lance's catalog spanning 6 albums and you will soon find, that he is one of the greatest guitarist that the State Of Texas has ever produced...

Steve Winwood

Steve Winwood was making music professionally at an age when most young men are still attending high school proms. As a member of the Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, and Blind Faith--and now as a successful solo artist--Winwood has produced highly eclectic songs based on a grafting of blues, folk, experimental rock, and rhythm and blues. His best-known pop hits have all been released since 1981, and his self-produced albums, Arc of a Diver (1981), Talking Back to the Night (1982), and Back in the High Life (1986) have all gone platinum. "That Winwood ... has come through [the 1960s] glory grind with minimal scars is evident in the supple, good-natured funk and romantic electronic-keyboard glaze of his recent work," writes David Fricke in Rolling Stone magazine. "Arc of a Diver and ... Talking Back to the Night are logical high-tech extensions of Winwood's original fusion of American rhythm and blues and European classical and folk traditions with Traffic." 

 Winwood can hardly remember a time when he wasn't singing in front of an audience. The son of a foundry worker, he grew up in blue-collar Birmingham, one of a family of amateur musicians. By the time he was six, Winwood was playing the piano; he joined an Anglican church choir the following year for his first "professional" work. "I used to get a shilling for every wedding," he told People magazine. "That was when I first realized that one can make money out of singing." Schoolwork held no fascination for Winwood. He was consumed by the popular music of the day, especially American blues and the burgeoning rock and roll sound. At eleven he joined a skiffle band, and at fifteen he dropped out of school permanently to join his older brother in a rock band, the Spencer Davis Group. The teenage Winwood provided lead vocals and organ riffs for the Spencer Davis Group, guiding it to a pair of hit singles, "Gimme Some Lovin'" and "I'm a Man." According to Lillian Roxon in her Lillian Roxon's Rock Encyclopedia, it was Winwood's "voice, his songs, his organ and piano work that made Spencer Davis' band soar. I'm a Man and Gimme Some Loving, done under the Davis umbrella, were so black and strong it took a lot of adjusting to get used to the fact that they were coming from a seventeen-year-old English kid from Birmingham." In 1967 Winwood left the Spencer Davis Group to start his own band. With Chris Wood, Dave Mason, and Jim Capaldi he formed Traffic, an experimental psychedelic pop ensemble that drew its musical inspiration from jazz, soul, blues, and folk. Traffic's debut album, Mr. Fantasy, included two British hits, "Paper Sun" and "Hole in My Shoe," and by virtue of Winwood's already-established fame, the group quickly became a favorite. "At its best, Traffic was a band to be reckoned with," writes a Rolling Stone Record Guide contributor. "The first two Traffic albums are late-sixties classics, an eclectic combination ... that was polyglot without ever becoming overextended." Unfortunately, the members of Traffic had disparate musical tastes, and the band changed personnel frequently during its seven-year run. 

Winwood himself quit Traffic briefly in 1970 to play with Blind Faith (a "supergroup" consisting of Winwood, Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, and Rick Gretch), but he returned to cut several session albums, including the 1974 When the Eagle Flies. Winwood went solo in 1974, building himself his own personal recording studio on his fifty-acre farm in Gloucestershire. He seemed almost in retirement as the years passed, but instead he was working hard on new material, laying down every track himself at his studio and accepting help only with an occasional lyric. 

In 1977 he released Steve Winwood to unenthusiastic sales. Winwood told People that his first solo effort "got buried," and when time came to cut the next album "it was a make-or-break situation. If it hadn't been for Arc of a Diver, I might be a taxi driver." Indeed, the 1980 Arc of a Diver, with its hit single "While You See a Chance," was a great success both in England and America--even though Winwood refused to tour. A reputation for reclusiveness (and drug abuse) hounds Winwood, although he denies both charges at every turn. He spends so much time at his farm, he says, because he is a perfectionist who makes albums very, very slowly. As for the drug abuse, he told Rolling Stone that he had no interest in drugs during the 1960s or in subsequent years. "I saw what drugs were doing to people," he said of the psychedelic era, "and in most cases I had to suffer the consequences of their substandard work.... I just don't fit into the predominant image of rock and roll. I never quite understood or had the attitude that certain other bands had. We were never really involved with the smashing-up of hotel rooms, the rowdy parties, like the other bands of the period." The 1980s have been a period of resurgence for Winwood. To quote Lisa Robinson in Vogue, the artist "sits comfortably at the top of the rock pantheon, a graceful survivor of an extraordinary number of years in the music business." Winwood has followed Arc of a Diver with two more platinum albums, Talking Back to the Night and Back in the High Life, and he has even undertaken a concert tour after thirteen years off the road. "More and more," he told Rolling Stone, "I see that rock and roll doesn't just need a youthful energy and spirit to it. It also needs a craft, an experience to get it across." 

 Today, Winwood said, his aim is to make music that he likes, hoping that an audience will like it as well. "The point for me is to reach people through what I'm doing," he said. "... If I make music that people might dance to, that's fine with me." He elaborated in High Fidelity: "I try not to aim at an audience. That can be dangerous--you might just miss, and then you haven't got anything. I basically make albums because I like to make them. I like to make successful albums, too, but I make them for my own ear in the hope that other people will like the same things as me." Rock and roll is entertainment", Winwood concluded.

Spit It out!

 

Spit It Out! was founded late 1990 upon several band members returning to Varberg, Sweden after living in Los Angeles, CA during 1989-90. They recorded a number of times at the Tuff studio in Gothenburg and released a 7” single in 1991 and a CD in early 1993. Following this and a few changes in line-up the music turned heavier and the band entered Recordia Studios in 1995. This recording (Hear, See & Say No Evil) is briefly mentioned in the feature of Spit It Out! in Janne Starks – The Encyclopedia of Swedish Hard Rock & Heavy Metal.

The band has been on hiatus since 1999 but they’re still friends and you never know, it’s not impossible they might do something in the future...

Phillip Foxley

 

 

Phillip Foxley is a multi-genre songwriter and musician. He writes and produces music from his home studio in Conwy, North Wales, UK.

 

With influences from every corner of the world, Foxley has now released his own debut album entitled “I’ll Try ‘Till I Die”, an eclectic collection of original blistering blues rock guitar and soft acoustic and piano tracks written over the years. Foxley says “Every track on this album means so much and every note is from my very soul”.

 

“This album is like my musical life story. It’s also a ‘big’ album in that there are over twenty tracks on it already and, because I don’t intend to release any more albums, I just keep adding tracks to it as they are released”.

Rock n’ Roll is back! Formed on the streets of Boston by Shaun Soho (lead vocals) and Alex Donaldson (lead guitar), CRASH MIDNIGHT has burst onto the music scene with vintage guitar riffs, pounding drums, and searing vocals.

Spudgun Assassins

 

UK Chichester based and formed by Tex Nash, Graham Hutchason, Steve Swatton and Graham Linn, the band have achieved their own style of melodic/mainstream rock.

Initially on forming, the intention was to concentrate on creating a live set of cover tracks in order to start playing live, however the band were immediately drawn into writing their own material which a few are now included in the live set. Although collectively their influences are varied, a natural writing chemistry was obvious from the start and the ‘Spudgun Assassins’ sound has formed naturally.

With an emphasis on strong melodies and hooks, all songs are written, recorded and produced by the band. The ‘Spudgun Assassins’ 6 track EP was the bands first release in 2018.

Plans were in place to start the process of releasing their second EP when tragically in 2021 the band lost their friend and guitarist Hutch to a heart attack. As part of a tribute to Hutch the band have collaborated with his daughter Phoebe Hutchason on keys and long time friend Ally Burnside on guitar to complete their new single release ‘All In My Mind’.

The Scaramanga Six

 

The Scaramanga Six is the brainchild of headstrong siblings Paul and Steven Morricone. Not in any way like your conventional mindless rock-star filth, The Morricone brothers appear more like a pair of polite and softly-spoken, yet viciously intense and sadistic nightclub bouncers. Raised in the Westcountry seaside resort of Weston-Super-Mare on an education of Stranglers records (by elder brothers) and Tony Bennett records (by their Mum), the young Morricone twins discovered there was much fun to be had in crooning and shouting in equal measures. The Scaramanga Six was finally realised in the dark & drizzly backdrop of Huddersfield, West Yorkshire where the band still lurk to this very day.

TyrannoPop? Luxury Rock Noir? Schitzophonic Splattercore? – whatever you want to call it, this suave and enigmatic unit have carved their own scenester-defying niche since the mid-90’s as the most unique and creative underground rock band in the UK. Every one of these individuals is hell-bent on assaulting the ears of the unsuspecting with intense and preposterous rock and roll music. Add ‘prolific’ to their wild claims – over the last decade & a half, the band have relentlessly embarked on a rampant recording spree. The average gestation period for a Scaramanga Six long-player is approximately 2 years – ‘The Terrifying Dream’ is the title of their current (and eighth) studio album, for which The Scaramanga Six decided to use the fantastic PledgeMusic platform to find and release with a hugely successful campaign. For their previous album, ‘Phantom Head’, The Six made an ambitious pilgrimage to Chicago Illinois to record with the best engineer in the world, Mr Steve Albini (Pixies, Nirvana, PJ Harvey, The Stooges, Shellac etc etc) in his own Electrical Audio studio. To get that authentic ‘Albini sound’, the recordings were all done completely live with minimal overdubs onto 2” tape using all analogue equipment and the bare minimum of post-production.

But hot on the heels of ‘The Terrifying Dream’, The Six are currently holed up in their secret underground base preparing a barrage of new material for their ninth studio album, which promises to be the most uncompromising, bloated and lavish offering to date. It seems The Six are entering a zenith of creativity, despite committing the music industry cardinal sins of mostly being over 40 and being around for over a decade.

The self-styled ‘evil pop group’ have been tearing a hole in the arse of the live circuit over recent years with their incendiary rock rituals including key slots at many UK festivals (headline set at Leeds 2007 on the Introducing stage). Their previous few albums have pulverised the minds of critics and also seen releases across Scandinavia, the Germanic countries and Japan, all through the band’s own infamous label – Wrath Records. Bookings at some of the big European festivals have also transpired (Hove Festival, Norway and Peace & Love, Sweden). All the while they have been building up and grooming a legion of die-hard crackpot fans ready to creep out from under logs or something and support the band wherever they play.

Eddy Davis

 

Eddy Ray Davis was born on September 26, 1940. He was an American musician and bandleader of trad jazz, who was internationally known mainly through the decades of collaboration with the clarinetist and filmmaker Woody Allen.

Davis started playing banjo during his senior year in high school to play Dixieland with a college band called The Salty Dogs. The Purdue-based group played across the Midwestern United States and had pre-appearances of greats like The Four Freshmen and The Kingston Trio. He moved to Purdue for a year, then to Chicago. There, he became an integral part of the jazz scene at venues such as the "Gaslight Club" and Bourbon Street and often worked for variety or comedy acts, among others. with actor David Huddleston. He also appeared on a Dixieland revue in Disneyland and served as musical director for a tour resumption of the musical Whoopee! In 1966, he recorded his debut album "Live! At the Old Town Gate", with a group that from then on operated as "Eddy Davis Dixie Jazzmen". The next albums under the Davis name included "Whiz Bang" (1973), a satirical production with flute and tuba and "Plays and Sings Just For Fun".

Davis went to New York and received recognition from the jazz traditionalists there: he played drums in the earliest edition of Vince Giordano's "Nighthawks". In 1976, he performed in Germany with his European colleagues Herbert Christ, Jean-Pierre Mulot and René Franc in the "Hot Jazz Orchestra of Europe". In the American edition of this "Hot Jazz Orchestra" he played in 1979 with Max Kaminsky, Vince Giordano, Bobby Gordon and Dill Jones; In 1983, the clarinetist Jack Maheu and the pianist Don Ewell were part of "Eddy Davis and The Hot Jazz Orchestra". With "Stanley’s Washboard Kings" around Stan King, Davis went on a Japanese tour in the same year. He also orchestrated and conducted a musical by Terry Waldo, with whose "Waldo’s Gutbucket Syncopators", he recorded several albums.

When the conductor performed Maurice Peress Paul Whiteman's "Aeolian Hall Concert" from 1924 on its 60th anniversary, he hired Davis as a banjoist. At that time he performed regularly in the club Red Blazer Too in a trio with his banjo colleague Cynthia Sayer and the bassist Pete Compo. With Sayer, Davis also founded the "New York Banjo Ensemble", which recorded an album with compositions by George Gershwin in 1984 and an album with Rags in 2005.

Davis's connection with Woody Allen was established in Chicago in the 1960s when Davis was headlining a club on Rush Street and Allen was a comedian at that club, but also played in his band. Allen played in Eddy Davis's "New Orleans Jazz Band", with which Allen - otherwise known as a filmmaker - held the court as a clarinetist in New York for around 35 years. The band has played in the "Café Carlyle"' every Monday evening since 1997 (when it wasn't on an international tour); before that she had appeared in "Michael’s Pub" every week since 1985. Davis also appeared on the soundtrack for Allen's film "Radio Days" "(1987) and appeared on "Sweet and Lowdown" as a band member. For his contribution to the soundtrack for "Midnight in Paris" he received a Grammy Award. The documentary Wild Man Blues records Allen's first tour with Davis’s band. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Davis was also heard every week in the restaurant called "The Cajun" on Eighth Avenue in Chelsea. In the band he led there, Scott Robinson played on C melody saxophone. In addition, other recordings such as The Bunk Project (1993) or Just Sittin ’Here Strummin’ This Ole Banjo (2005) were created.

Davis was involved in 73 recording sessions between 1957 and 2012, including: with Leon Redbone, Turk Murphy, Doc Cheatham and Frank Vignola. Davis died in April 2020 of the SARS-CoV-2 infection at Mount Sinai West Hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City. He was 79 years old.

Celtas Cortos

 

Celtas Cortos is a Spanish Celtic rock band. They have sold over two million records during their career, making them one of the most commercially successful Spanish groups of all time.

They formed in Valladolid (Castilla y León) in 1986. Eight friends, four of whom played in the group Almenara, decided to participate in a music contest under the name "Colectivo Eurofolk". They won the first prize and continued to play together, changing their name to Celtas Cortos. Nacho Castro, the former drummer, suggested the name based on his favourite tobacco.

They won another contest in April 1987, where the prize was the production of an album. They shared the prize with two other winners, and contributed three songs to the album Así es como suena: Folk joven.

Executive producer Paco Martín helped them get out their first album, Salida de emergencia, with only instrumental songs. The next album, Gente Impresentable added the voice and the lyrics of Jesús H. Cifuentes (Cifu) to the powerful instruments. Their celtic rock style was combined with protest and other more melancholic lyrics. Through the years their music mixed with different styles such as Caribbean music, flamenco, electronic music or reggae. Their list of hits include 20 de Abril, La senda del tiempo and Tranquilo Majete.

In 2002 Cifu left the group, a definitive turning point after the departure of César Cuenca and Nacho Martín. At the beginning of 2006 Cifu came back to the group to prepare their next release, 20 years after their foundation. Their 2008 album 40 de Abril was very popular, landing in the top five of the Spanish albums chart. Between 2008 and 2016 they released another four albums.

Phil Vassar

 

 

Phillip George Vassar Jr. (born May 28, 1962) is an American country music artist. Vassar made his debut on the country music scene in the late 1990s, co-writing singles for several country artists, including Tim McGraw ("For a Little While", "My Next Thirty Years"), Jo Dee Messina ("Bye, Bye", "I'm Alright"), Collin Raye ("Little Red Rodeo"), and Alan Jackson ("Right on the Money"). In 1999, he was named by American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP) as Country Songwriter of the Year.

Later that same year, Vassar was signed to Arista Nashville as a recording artist. His debut album, Phil Vassar, was released in early 2000, producing five hits on the U.S. Billboard country singles charts and earning a gold certification in the United States. He followed it in 2002 with American Child, Shaken Not Stirred in 2004, and finally Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 in 2006 before Vassar left the label for Universal South Records (now Show Dog-Universal Music). His first album for that label, Prayer of a Common Man, was released in early 2008. He has charted nineteen singles on Billboard's Hot Country Songs, including two which peaked at No. 1: 2000's "Just Another Day in Paradise" and 2004's "In a Real Love".

The Allman Brothers Band

 

 

The Allman Brothers Band were an American rock band formed in Jacksonville, Florida in 1969 by brothers Duane Allman (founder, slide guitar and lead guitar) and Gregg Allman (vocals, keyboards, songwriting), as well as Dickey Betts (lead guitar, vocals, songwriting), Berry Oakley (bass guitar), Butch Trucks (drums), and Jai Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson (drums). Subsequently, based in Macon, Georgia, the band incorporated elements of blues, jazz, and country music, and their live shows featured jam band-style improvisation and instrumentals.

The group's first two studio releases, The Allman Brothers Band (1969) and Idlewild South (1970) (both released by Capricorn Records), stalled commercially, but their 1971 live release, At Fillmore East, represented an artistic and commercial breakthrough. The album features extended renderings of their songs "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" and "Whipping Post", and is considered among the best live albums ever made.

Group leader Duane Allman was killed in a motorcycle accident later that year – on October 29, 1971 – and the band dedicated Eat a Peach (1972) to his memory, a dual studio/live album that cemented the band's popularity and featured Gregg Allman's "Melissa" and Dickey Betts's "Blue Sky". Following the motorcycling death of bassist Berry Oakley one year and 13 days later on November 11, 1972, the group recruited keyboardist Chuck Leavell and bassist Lamar Williams for 1973's Brothers and Sisters. This album included Betts's hit single "Ramblin' Man" and instrumental "Jessica". These tunes went on to become classic rock radio staples, and placed the group at the forefront of 1970s rock music. Internal turmoil overtook them soon after; the group dissolved in 1976, reformed briefly at the end of the decade with additional personnel changes, and dissolved again in 1982.

The band reformed once more in 1989, releasing a string of new albums and touring heavily. A series of personnel changes in the late 1990s was capped by the departure of Betts. The group found stability during the 2000s with bassist Oteil Burbridge and guitarists Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks (the nephew of their original drummer) and became renowned for their month-long string of shows at New York City's Beacon Theatre each spring. The band retired for good in October 2014 after their final show at the Beacon Theatre.

Butch Trucks died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on January 24, 2017, in West Palm Beach, Florida, at the age of 69. Gregg Allman died from complications arising from liver cancer on May 27, 2017, at his home in Georgia, also at the age of 69. The band has been awarded seven gold and four platinum albums, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995.
