July 18, 2015 For Immediate Release Contact: Rick Johnston TCA @ TheChicagoAuthority.com (716) 534-8191 Website: http://TheChicagoAuthority.com THE CHICAGO AUTHORITY: Packed Venues of Happy Fans! If you've been a fan of live music for any length of time, chances are you've seen some of these guys performing with various bands in and around western New York. After paying lip service to an idea for nearly a decade, in late 2013 they got together to form a powerhouse 9-piece band to celebrate the music of one of the most prolific and popular bands of all time: Chicago. “The memories come flooding back when you guys play. It's magic!” The Chicago Authority (TheChicagoAuthority.com) is proving to be a very popular ensemble. With just a handful of performances under its belt the band is already playing to sold-out shows, and on July 15th the guys look forward to performing a FREE concert at Tonawanda's Gateway Harbor! The Gateway Canal Series is hugely popular not only for the music but also for the food and, of course, the beverages! “Just an awesome display of musical talent performing the music of Chicago!” During their two-hour show the band will perform plenty of Chicago's hit songs including Hard Habit to Break, Make Me Smile, Saturday in the Park, If You Leave Me Now, and Colour My World, plus selected album cuts such as Introduction and Brand New Love Affair. continued, page 2 The Chicago Authority, page 2 “If I had to pick a band that epitomized the vibe and attitude of our town, it would be The Chicago Authority” Saxophonist Jack Prybylski: “All the garage bands we formed back in high school had horn sections, and 90% of the material we played consisted of Chicago songs. I'm extremely excited to be performing this music once again.” Percussionist Eladio Rodriguez: “I jumped at the chance to join this band because not only did I love the cool, sweet, intricate music of Chicago, I get to play great music with very talented and knowledgeable musicians.” Guitarist Rick Johnston: “The Chicago Authority connects the dots of a decades-long, circuitous route to the start of my musical journey. I feel like I've arrived back at the beginning with eight incredible musicians who share the passion.” “That was amazing. Authentic. I thought I was listening to the original Chicago!” WHO: The Chicago Authority Chicago Tribute Band WHEN: Sunday, July 26h, 1:00 pm WHERE: Ellicottville Jazz & Blues Festival, Monroe Street Stage WHAT: Free Concert Photo Caption: The Chicago Authority, from left: Ryan Gentner, Eladio Rodriguez, Kacy Dolan, Tom Scime, Jack Prybylski, Eric Gustavel, Jim Mauck, Rick Johnston, Keith Spurlock.

The Music of Rhythm Willie Can Be at Once a Blues Harmonica Fan's Most Exciting and Most Frustrating Discovery
Copyright Scott Dirks, for Blues & Rhythm magazine The music of Rhythm Willie can be at once a blues harmonica fan's most exciting and most frustrating discovery. His recordings reveal a technically accomplished and musically innovative player, with few peers on the standard 10-hole Marine Band harmonica in his day. A strong case can be made for his position as the first truly urban blues harp player; at a time when the harmonica was still used in black music essentially for 'country' adornment, Rhythm Willie was utilizing it with the urbanity of a jazz trumpeter or clarinetist. Yet until recently almost nothing was known of him other than the sound of his harmonica in the grooves of a handful of rare 78s recorded in Chicago between 1939 and 1950. Overlooked by blues researchers and historians for over 40 years, mention of his name draws only blank expressions or resigned shrugs from most blues authorities. Listening for biographical clues in his music reveals virtually nothing about the artist--his only recordings as a leader were all instrumentals. Further compounding the mystery, most of Willie's appearances as an accompanist on the recordings of other blues artists are attributed to "unknown harmonica" or "possibly Lee McCoy" in published discographies (a situation which this article will examine and attempt to rectify.) In fact, given his extraordinary range and talent, referring to Rhythm Willie as simply a "blues" harmonica player might be slightly unfair, and in retrospect it's easy to imagine that Willie himself may have gone to some lengths to avoid being classified with the blues harp players he probably considered to be his musically less sophisticated country cousins.

ROB STONE &THE C•NOTES CONTACT: (312) 371 -5179 EMAIL: [email protected] www.robstone.com MANAGEMENT: Michael Frank AT Earwig Music Company TEL: (773)262-0278 EMAIL: [email protected] www.earwigmusic.com A LIVE PERFORMANCE BY ROB STONE CAN TRANSPORT THE LISTENER BACK TO THE HEYDAY OF CHICAGO BLUES. Fronted by Harp-playing vocalist ROB STONE and held together by a rock-solid rhythm section, the group is comprised of seasoned professionals with well over half a century of combined blues playing experience. They’ve paid their dues in the smoky Chicago blues joints and toured coast to coast across North America and Europe, as well as the Hawaiian islands and Japan, playing countless blues festivals, club dates and television appearances. Separately, the members of the group have recorded for the respected Alligator, Evidence, Hightone, Ice House, Marquis, Appaloosa and Magnum blues labels, and received national recognition in countless blues publications. These musicians have performed with and learned from many of the greats...and it shows from the first note. They are all authentic showmen with pure abil- ity to tear up a stage, as evidenced by their prominent role in the recent Martin Scorsese-produced “Godfathers and Sons” episode of The Blues series that aired recently on PBS stations natiowide. Together they now have a brand new release on Chicago’s Earwig label. As a vocalist Rob Stone is powerful, yet relaxed and natural; as a harmonica player he evokes the sounds of greats like Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson and Walter Horton. This band navigates their way effortlessly through one lean arrangement after another, from a soulful slow blues to a ferocious, driving slide guitar workout recalling past greats like Elmore James, Earl Hooker, and Muddy Waters, as well as all the blues harp legends from the hey- day of Chicago blues.
