One Foot In New Orleans...

There's a really cool review of "Electric Dixieland" in the current issue of Blues In Britain magazine, by Mick Rainsford: 

"...Sure to garner plenty of attention...a quirky instrumental set that melds traditional blues with dashes of Hawaiian, Western Swing and, of course, Dixie...evocative slide and "marching" drums conjure up a vision of Tampa Red with one foot in New Orleans and the other in Waikiki...like a laidback 'horizontal' Elmore James replete with flashes of Robert Nighthawk and Kokomo Arnold...spiced with the spirit of Hound Dog Taylor...hypnotic North Mississippi Hill Country feel replete with quirky Sumlinesque guitar and Spam-styled drumming..."

All we can say is WOW. And yes, there'll be another EP coming early next year... ;)

2013 News

It's been a while since the last post, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't have been busy: the January 2013 Roundabout tour of Finland and the March/April Muddy Waters' 100th birthday celebration tour of Finland and Estonia with Ismo Haavisto are shaping up nicely - check out the confirmed dates on the gigs page, gaps to be filled in soon. There's also several recording projects in the works, but it's still too early to reveal more - except that you can expect to be hearing some new music regularly from December onwards ;)
