  • Doyle Bramhall
    BIO DOYLE BRAMHALL It’s apropos that DOYLE BRAMHALL’s new Yep Roc CD is titled Is It News because, although they’re absolutely true to his deep roots in the blues, its dozen original tunes mark a turning point that is both ambitious and the logical summation of his artistic evolution. The answer to the forward- thinking, envelope-pushing CD’s title is a resounding yes—and the news is all good! “I wanted to make an all-original record that was big, energetic, intimate, and unpredictable,” Doyle states. “We got a lot of the sounds by pushing everything to the limit and then pulling it back from there.” Fans already accustomed to Doyle’s high standards and willingness to chart new territory will nonetheless be pleased and surprised at just how high he raises the bar. This instant classic is the benchmark of Bramhall’s storied career—which is saying a lot! Continuing the tradition he started with the songs he co-wrote with Stevie Ray Vaughan, which struck a chord with the biggest audience the blues has ever enjoyed, he deftly expands the idiom’s vocabulary and texture. Any discussion of Texas blues, be it T-Bone Walker or Stevie Ray, is incomplete without mention of Doyle Bramhall. As singer, songwriter, and drummer, he has been an integral part of that rich state’s music for almost 40 years and, indeed, one of the founding fathers of the blues/roots resurgence synonymous with the Lone Star state and the migration from Dallas to its musical epicenter, Austin.

  • George Lesiw Recognized As One of the Most Prolific and Versatile
    George Lesiw Recognized as one of the most prolific and versatile jazz performers on the Connecticut music scene, guitarist George Lesiw has made his surge a topic of conversation and interest amongst the Northeast audience. Lesiw combines the true improvisational essence and language of jazz, the daring electricity of rock-fusion and the gritty fire of blues. Known as a bandleader and sideman for some time now, Lesiw initiates a spark of rock-fusion with a combination of the emotional fire of the blues sprinkled with funk, soul and R& B, making him a desired performer in music venues across the state and beyond. Whether playing a straight-ahead jazz gig with his quartet at Bar 140 in Shelton, Connecticut or wailing his blues with his new blues project, Black Snake Boots, at Connecticut’s premier blues clubs, Black- Eyed Sally’s in Hartford, or playing original jazz fusion music on the main stage of the Long Beach Jazz Festival in California, one thing remains constant – Lesiw exemplifies a passion, virtuosity, versatility and fire to his music like no other. His most recent performances include a duo residency with Lee-Ann Lovelace at Crave, a Latin fusion restaurant and night club in Ansonia. Once a month, he leads the popular blues jam at Café Nine in New Haven. Twice a month, he leads the jazz jam at Bar 140 in Shelton, Connecticut. Lesiw was also the main guitarist with “A Nordic Sound Jazz Orchestra” (2016-17). In 2017, his band “Black Snake Boots” was a finalist at the 2017 Connecticut Blues Challenge.
