Rev.Billy C.Wirtz & the Tally Wackers @ Beach Shack 4-12-08





A great show by the Rev.Billy C and the Tally Wackers,at first not many folks there for the show but as the hours got closer to 10p the people came out and had a good time. Check out Rev.Billys shoes very cool.

BuddyGuy & Los Lonely Boys @ H.O.B.Orlando,Fl 4-11-08




Well if you have seen Buddy Guy you know what kind of show he does.Buddy was the headliner or the last to play.First up was the Los Lonely Boys,I have seen them a couple of time and they rock.Three brother play there hearts out.The set was 1hr 1/2 with some long jams and a few of there hits.The bass player had 32 speakers ,the drummer bass drum was miked so you could feel the beat in your chest.The lead guitar just smoke on every set.First song was Crossroads.A very cool band and has a good fan base.
Next was Buddy Guy who was top shelf,I have seen Buddy about 6 times.Two times at Crossroads,he just takes the show to a higher level.At this show at the House Of Blues he was on his game.Buddy played for about 1hr 20min.Buddy does Buddy no set list just what comes out at the time and plays the crowd.He is alwas good there is no one like him.Buddy Guy is a must see show.
Let me say a thing about the House Of Blues,you have to get frist,everthing out of your pockets,a wand waved around you,the kids that do it have no smiles,don't care on the music,the people who work there are rude and just don't care about the people going to see the music.I don't give HOB any extra money at the show.There are few seats there for all the shows.I see at other HOBs they do put seats out sometimes.The attitude is not a friendly place.I go there because they have some good show,but the attitude just sucks.You can't bring anything in so here are some photos off my cell phone.

Jason Ricci & New Blood @ Beach Shack 4-6-08








Seeing Jason Ricci & New Blood is alwas a treat.You know your are in for a 2hr set of high energy. On a rainy Sunday night at the Beach Shack was rocking Jason just does not bring a bag or harps and plays as you can see it takes a crate of harps and rack of foot pedals.Jason and New Blood played top shelf and just rock the house with some fine harp work,10-15 min solos and Shawn on guitar has a great touch and is a top shelf guitar player.On the bottom end is Todd aka.Buckweek is just a monster on that Bass. Ron on drums is driving the band hard.Jason Ricci & New Blood is a must see and a master on the Harp.
