Friday, September 24, 2010 8:00 pm Chicago and Delta Blues THE RHYTHM ROOM ALL STARS featuring DAVE RILEY from Mississippi “Blues in its finest form” -All About Jazz The Rhythm Room All Stars’ vintage Chicago Blues has backed a who’s who of Blues greats, including Jimmy Rogers, Bo Diddley, Pinetop Perkins and Kid Ramos, to name a few. While based in Phoenix, The Rhythm Room All-Stars have become an international festival attraction in their own right. The All Stars feature the promethium harp from Bob Corritore, Patrick Ryan on guitar, Chris James on bass and Brian Fahey on drums. “Bob Corritore and guitarist Dave Riley play “raw, unfiltered, hardcore blues that echoes sounds of years gone by yet still sounds original and vital.” -Blues Revue Mississippi-born Dave Riley came of age in Chicago where he sat in with Muddy Waters, ] Junior Wells, Buddy Guy and Howlin' Wolf. Bob Corritore and Dave Riley’s first disc together, Travelin' The Dirt Road, was nominated for a Blues Music Award as Best Acoustic Album in 2008, and was a Blues Blast Music Award Nominee for Best Traditional Blues Recording. On their second CD, Lucky to be Living, Blues Blast Magazine noted that Riley is “down and dirty as he winds his way…His guitar work rings like a bell as Corritore fills in his greasy harp along with Dave’s intense vocals.” Together, The Rhythm Room All Stars with Bob Corritore and Dave Riley mix the up-tempo swing of the juke joints to the slow, drawn-out deep blues that dot the byways from Chicago to the Delta.

Friday, October 1, 2010 8:00 pm THE NIGHTHAWKS from Washington, D.C – High-Octane Blues and Roots-Rock “Some of the best blues tunes this side of the Mississippi.”- Guitar International Long before the term roots music described the gumbo of American genres, the Washington, D.C.-based Nighthawks were mixing blues, rock and soul—along with rockabilly and swing. The Nighthawks, collectively and individually, cut their eye teeth on late-1950s blues and primal rock 'n' roll. For more than 30 years The Nighthawks’ juke joint spirit, freight-train rhythms and nuanced harp work have entertained audiences around the world. Along the way they backed Blues and Rock legends Muddy Waters, BB King, Carl Perkins, Gregg Allman, John Lee Hooker, and more. The Nighthawks have released over 20 albums and still play over 200 shows a year. In 2009 the band won best duo/group and best recording, for 2009's American Landscape.

Friday, October 8, 2010 8:00 pm From San Francisco- IT’S A BEAUTIFUL DAY Celebrate the Summer of Love Famous for their song, “White Bird,” It’s A Beautiful Day released their first album in 1969. The song became a mainstay of early FM-rock radio across North America. The band features the ethereal violin of founder David LaFlamme, who frequently jammed alongside the likes of Jerry Garcia and Janis Joplin. It’s A Beautiful Day moved effortlessly from folk to ethereal jazz to psychedelic to straight on rock & roll, opening for The Grateful Dead, The Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother and The Holding Company (Janis Joplin's band), and performed at Cream's farewell concert. Today they perform from their catalogue of classics, including "Hot Summer Day", "Bombay Calling," "Girl With No Eyes", "Wasted Union Blues", "Time Is", "Dolphins", "Misery Loves Company", and “White Bird.” The show is enhanced by David LaFlamme's delightful reminiscing of the San Francisco Summer of Love Days and 40 plus years of performing.

Garcia remained in both The Dead and The New Riders until he found himself overcommitted, at which time Buddy Cage replaced him and the classic NRPS lineup was born. The lineup includes David Nelson (guitar), Buddy Cage (pedal steel), Michael Falzarano (guitar), Ronnie Penque (bass) and Johnny Markowski (drums). “The New Riders ride again! Sounds like a classic western. And this band is indeed pure legend.”-Vintage Guitar Magazine Friday November 19, 2010 8:00 pm @
