Jams Are Returning - Tuesday Jan 6th
Just a quick not to everyone that the weekly jams will be returning this week to A Dough Re Mi. The first jam will be Tuesday, January 6th at 8PM.
Over the past year, Tommy Thunderfoot has been our weekly jam master and has done an outstanding job. In addition to his outstanding musicianship, Tommy has also fostered the growth of the musician community and helped guide many novice musicians on the stage. I think its safe to say that the jams, and the Lowcountry Blues Club, would not be where they are today without the guidance of Tommy Thunderfoot. Thank you Tommy, you've done an amazing job.
However, things do change. Unfortunatley, Tommy has decided to take a break from the weekly jam master duties. We will miss Tommy and hope that he decides to return in the future. Luckily, Tommy will be staying on as a board member and will continue to provide his leadership there.
I don't have official word on this yet, but the rumor is that Dan Wright will be taking over as our jam master. As you may know, Dan is also an amazing musician. What you probably don't know is that Dan is an experienced jam master from Detroit. If you have noticed that Dan's blues have a funky Motown vibe, now you know why.
We welcome Dan as the new jam master (assuming that it is official), and look forward to seeing the direction he takes the jams in.
So come on out on Tuesday and enjoy the music.

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 - 10 October 2008 - Update #2
The confusion is now resolved, and again, I apologize about the confusion.
I have spoken with Tommy Thunderfoot and have the information regarding the Lowcountry Blues Club Songwriting Competition and the shows at A Dough Re Mi tonight, Saturday, October 11th.
First, there is no Songwriting Competition tonight. However, the Songwriting Competition will be next Saturday, October 18th, with the winners having a paying gig on Saturday, October 25th. The competition and gig will both be at A Dough Re Mi.
As for tonight, Tommy Thunderfoot is inviting a few other musicians to come and play at A Dough Re Mi with him. The lineup currently include Tommy Thunderfoot (Tommy Thunderfoot & The Accelerators), JoJo Wall (JoJo & Voodoo Junkies, Mama's Blues Palace), Gary Wright (Lowcountry Blues Club Jam), Skye Paige (Skye Paige & The Original Recipe), and a mystery drummer.
The show starts at 9PM and is is a free show with lots of great talent.

Upcoming Shows - 10 October 2008
We've got another great week of music lined up around the lowcountry, around the state, and even around the world.
Kicking things off locally is the Wyatt Garey Band at A Dough Re Mi on Friday. Wyatt is one the great younger musicians that we have playing with us on Tuesday nights and his band has toured all up and down the East Coast. In addition to the blues stylings that we know Wyatt for, he and his father are well respected musicians in the Gospel community and toured extensively in that area as well.
Also on Friday, our fearless band leader, Tommy Thunderfoot, will be taking his amazing bad, The Accelerators to Sumter, SC. Last time they played there, they packed the house with a few hundred fans. Needless to say, our best kept secret is finally getting out and Tommy and the band will be in great demand in the years to come. Just so I show proper love to our members, the Accelerators lineup also includes other Lowcountry Blues Club jam faithfuls: Dave Jones on Bass, Stone Cold Sarah Cole on guitar, and Sammy Derrick on drums.
And just because we're who we are, we'd thought we let you know that Shrimp City Slim will be playing the MacauSoul festival in Macaue, China, tonight, and all through the weekend and next week too. So if you just happen to be in that part of the world, stop and say hi to Shrimp. And I have to admit, I think its very cool that he's playing internationally. Shrimp, show our Asian friends how we deliver blues and soul from the Lowcountry.
The bad news is that on Saturday, the Lowcountry Blues Club was planning to have a preliminary round of a Pro-Am songwriting competition. Well, we just didn't get enough participants to sign up, so we're going to have to council this round. We're still looking to have a second round on October 18th and the winner will playing a paid gig on October 25th. All the shows are scheduled to be at A Dough Re Mi.
The good news is that Skye Paige will be playing a solo acoustic set at A Dough Re Mi on Saturday night instead of the songwriting competition.
Last, but not least, Cole Train will be playing at A Dough Re Mi on Sunday for a special early all ages show. If you're not in the loop, Cole Train is made up of several of the Lowcountry Blues Club's younger members: Stone Cold Sarah Cole, Nate Merli, and Tanner Cooper. They've recently opened for Tommy Thunderfoot & The Accelerators and Scott Holt. In addition, they've played the Music Farm and the Women in Blues Festival up in Wilmington. This young band is on the move.
But wait!!!!
That's not all...
The Cole Train show is actually going to be a celebration of Stone Cold Sarah Cole's 16th birthday. So you know the band is going to be delivering the goods at this show, and you don't want to miss it.
So here's the recap of the weekend shows.
And he's what's coming up this week:

Upcoming Shows - September 25th
Well the news has been gloomy lately. And the weather today was cold and chilly thanks to some unnamed tropical weather off the coast. Well that's all bad news.
The good news is that the blues is going to be smoking hot this weekend! And if you love women blues singers, this is the weekend for you.
Kicking things off on Friday night is the Lowcountry Blues Club's own Skye Paige & The Original Recipe at Fiery Ron's Hometeam BBQ. And for this gig, Skye has stacked the band with Lowcountry Blues Club members: Tommy Thunderfoot, Greg Levkus, and John Shafer. Wow, that is one powerful lineup.
Also on Friday night, the amazing Wanda Johnson will be taking the stage at A Dough Re Mi. Wanda Johnson has been called the new voice of soul in the Carolinas, and she's gonna prove it Friday night. If that wasn't enough, she's going to be backed by Lowcountry Blues Club's Shrimp City Slim.
And if that isn't enough for you, the Women in Blues festival kicks off Friday night in Wilmington, NC. But the real event at the Women In Blues Festival will be Saturday during their invitation only blues jam. At that prestigious blues jam, Cole Train will be one of the featured acts. In case you weren't in the know, Cole Train is another great band that has formed out of the Lowcountry Blues Club and features "Stone Cold" Sarah Cole, "Old Man" Tanner Cooper, and Nate "B' Good" Merli. These teens are the future of the blues and are already getting exposure on a national stage. Just how cool is that?
And if you don't get a chance to catch Wanda on Friday night, or just didn't get enough, Wanda's going to be playing Saturday night at JB Pivots too. Once again, she's going to backed up by the Godfather of the South Carolina blues scene, Shrimp City Slim and his band. Wanda always delivers and her shows are a blast.
Then on Sunday, Shrimp City Slim and Dr. Pickup (from France) will be playing at Pawley's Island Tavern.
Another special note is that some of our Lowcountry Blues Club members will be playing at the Music Farm on Thursday, October 2nd, as part of the Trident United Way Battle of the Bands. Skye Paige & The Original Recipe take the stage at 6:40PM and TWS & Friends (Tim Shaw and his band) take the stage 9:00PM. The cover for this show is $10 and includes free food and some free beverages. What a deal! Good luck Tim and Skye.
