Gang- Here's the schedule for the multi-band extravaganza, our benefit for the earthquake victims in Haiti. Lots of great bands and a great day out, including an electric stage and an acoustic stage. I'll be pacing myself, so I can fit in a gig on each stage and a gig at the Moorings Bar that night as well.

The schedule for the Cellar 35 acoustic gig is a little loose for now, but we'll get it tightened up in the next couple of days. It'll be great for anyone that loves acoustic blues and/or want's a quieter night out. I'll be there for sure with an acoustic lap steel.

Here's the official schedule-

Fall Tour, need a band?

Looking ahead, we're hitting the road this fall. We have two dates still to fill, Saturday October 23 and Sunday October 24. Anyone have space for a great band? Anywhere in the UK is great.

Thanks!

Cellar 35, March 20

Hey Gang,

I talked to the band, and I know it's short notice but we're splitting the gig this coming Saturday. I'll play a solo lap steel set starting at 9, and the band will kick off around 10. Best of everything- some mellow blues to get started and get a few drinks in with friends, and then we clear the tables for dancing!

It'll be the full band with the horns! If you haven't heard this line up, well, it's jump and swing blues at it's best! These guys can really play...

Some more youtube finds

Yeah, I know, I love youtube....

Cellar 35, March 20th

As part of the blues nights at Cellar 35, I'll be covering the Saturday, March 20th slot. I had such a great time playing those solo gigs this past weekend that I've got the fire to do more. So I'll have the lap acoustic out, and the national and a couple of other guitars. Cellar 35 is the perfect place for an acoustic performance- it's small and cozy, the acoustics are pretty good and it's the only place in Aberdeen with that underground blues club vibe.

So, please tell your friends, drag them along. Blues on Saturdays at Cellar 35. performance starts at 9.

Alaska, 2010

Hey gang, looks like I'm heading back home for a couple of weeks! Alaska in summertime, great fishing, and some good gigs to play with my old band. Life doesn't get better...

still selling gear

Yeah, raising money to fund a few things, so there's a bunch of gear that's going. Check out my other blog for the details, more gear postings next weekend. Catch it before it goes on Ebay..

Cellar 35

Hey all-

Great gig at Cellar 35 last night! Me and Dick Wardell playing solo, Papa Mojo wrapping up the night. It was the second solo outing in two days for me, nothing like getting right back to work after a long break. Last night was mostly lap slide and fingerpicking. Gave the national a break.

So, long story short, I'll be back there on the 20th as part of the rotating blues nights we're running on Saturdays. I'll probably be there solo again, unless I can talk the trio into a gig. Either way, it'll be fun, and a great place for a night out.

Please spread the word about these blues nights! Aberdeen really needs a regular blues night, and with your support we can make this one stick!
