On a sidenote, I stumbled on an awesome web application called groover, spelled phonetically: gruvr, with an umlaut (aka "those dots") over the u. If you go there, the site can tell you shows happening in your town, superimposed on a map. Type in a band name in the user field, it can tell you when, and where, a few clicks will show you how to get there.

Until next time, whatever you do this weekend, have fun and be safe...

Upcoming Shows

We have another great weekend of shows lined up around the area:

Kicking things off first on Thursday night will be TWS & Friends at Wing Time in North Charleston. You all Tim Shaw as a Lowcountry Blues Club regular guitar player and occasional singer. My sources tell me that TWS & Friends stole the show at the Trident United Way Battle Of Bands, and Tim steals the show at our jams as well. So you should stop by and check them out doing their mix of blues rock, country rock, and classic rock.

Then, Steve & The Stilettos will be taking the stage at The Mill Friday night, starting around 9:30 PM. Stop by and see these veteran blues musicians do their thing. What's more, their driving rhythm section is none other than our Greg and Mark on drums and bass. That alone is worth seeing on any night. Add Steve on vocal and guitar and Joel on harmonica and you have a blues powerhouse.

Also on Friday, Tommy Thunderfoot & The Accelerators travel up to Sumter to deliver the blues to our friends in the midstate. This time, The Accelerators include Tanner on drums and JoJo on bass. Stone Cold Sarah Cool will also be there, adding her blues diva stylings to the rockin' blues mix. The shows at Legacies in Sumter are becoming legendary in their own right.

Then on Saturday, Tommy and gang are sticking around Sumter and playing at Pizza Lane as part of a benefit show. Our friend Jeff Norwood is also playing there on Saturday. You know when you get Tommy and Jeff together, those boys just gotta throw down and deliver a good show.

Speaking of people named Jeff, our friend Jeff Liberty will be playing on Saturday at Whaley's on Edisto Island. If your down that way, stop in and see him do his thing. He's got a great band and Jeff always delivers to the crowd like it was a stadium full of people. Greasy, gritty blues - just the way we like it.

Getting around to Tuesday, we have the weekly Lowcountry Blues Club jam at A Dough Re Mi. If you haven't been by lately, you should stop in and see why this one of the best nights of music in the state!

And on Wednesday, don't forget that our friend Larry McCray will be a the Pour House.

I hope I haven't forgotten anyone, but this weekend is shaping up as another great weekend of blues music in the region.

Upcoming Shows - 17 October 2008

Got another great week of music ahead.

Kicking things off on Friday night is Hitman at A Dough Re Mi. If you haven't seen Hitman before, then you are missing one of the best blues guitar players in the Southeast. Think Hendrix, Think Clapton, Think Johnson, and roll them all up into one dynamo and you have Hitman.

Then on Saturday, the Lowcountry Blues Club songwriting competition takes place at A Dough Re Mi. If you haven't signed up already, please get in touch with Tommy Thunderfoot (www.tommythunderfoot.net) and let him know that you to compete. The winners this week will play a paid gig next week at A Dough Re Mi.

Also this weekend is Rockoberfest at Awendaw Green on Saturday and Sunday. Among the few dozen acts scheduled to play, at least three acts that are blues club veterans will be taking the festival by storm - Allnightkungfu, Jeff Norwood, and Slanguage.

In addition, if you just happen to be in Macau, China this weekend, stop by and say hi to Shrimp City Slim at the MacauSoul.

Then next week, the Lowcountry Blues Club has their weekly meeting and jam at A Dough Re Mi on Tuesday. Always a good time and some of the best music in the states is played every Tuesday on the Big Slice - aka the A Dough Re Mi stage.
  • Fri 10/17, Hitman at A Dough Re Mi
  • Fri 10/17, Shrimp City Slim at MacauSoul - Macau, China
  • Sat 10/18, Lowcountry Blues Club Songwriting Competition

Like I said, another great week of music.

Upcoming Shows

Hey just a quick note to let everyone know about a few upcoming shows.

This is a great weekend for the Lowcountry Blues Club, because two of our friends will be playing this week. What's more, both of these great musicians were special guests at our anniversary show, so you all know how great they really are.

First, our friend from Savannah, Hitman, will be playing at A Dough Re Mi on Friday night. Hitman is pure electricity on the stage, and you'll swear he is the wild offspring of Hendrix and Clapton. This is a special price show for blues club members, so bring your membership card and get a discount at the door.

Then on Saturday night, Jeff Norwood will be playing at A Dough Re Mi. Jeff is a disciple of the hill country blues, and this is a special free show to make up for the cancellation of his band Decoration Day thanks to Tropical Storm Hanna. Well the entire band can't make it this weekend, but Jeff will be here. Also, Jeff is a generous guy with his stage time and loves a good jam. So he and Tommy Thunderfoot are asking folks to bring their gear and jam along. This isn't an official Lowcountry Blues Club jam, but let's come and give Jeff a big LBC welcome.

Looks like another great weekend of blues here the lowcountry.
