Café R&B : Dancing About Architecture

Café R&B are something that needs to be experienced live! Tonight, Saturday Dec 27, might be the right time for the experience. I believe Elvis Costello said "Writing about music is like dancing about architecture", and while here at my humble little blog, I try to describe music as best as possible, Café R&B need to be seen to be believed. With apologies to Mr. Costello, I write the following: Lead singer Roach, stupifies the audience with her own breed of voodoo soul 'n' blues, while the men in suits lock it up and hold it down!!! Must be seen to be believed! 
You can quote me on that.

Bill Magee : Blues Complex

Oh yeah! 

Last night's Bill Magee show was live and loud. 
His Hendrix-ian trail of foot-stomping, good time blues-rock, kept the party going til the midnight hour (and way beyond). Most impressive, the guy's got a legendary sustain on his axe that betrays gravity. His tasty rock-styled solos and scritchy-scratchy rhythm playing makes him one of the most captivating guitarists I've seen in a long time! 
Hail! Hail! Rock N Roll!

My friend from Queens had just got to town. 
She ordered a Hennesey French Martini.
I'd never heard of such a drink.
Must be an East coast thing?!?
I dunno.

Bill Magee brought the house down.
That's all that matters.

Bill Magee


The day after Christmas and it's a Friday. Tonight at the club, Harvelle's does what it does best: Rock the blues for your listening pleasure!!! Tonight, from the back woods of Mississippi all the way to Santa Monica, CA,  it's Bill Magee! 

Come down, drink and dance - it's the middle of a 5-day weekend fer crisssakes! 
You may have relatives in town, or you're from out-of-town visiting. 
Bring the relatives or your local hosts... most importantly, come down and hear the blues!
