— R.I.P. Doc Mullet — We’ve lost another Blues Brother from the BSO family. Doc passed in his sleep at the age of 61. Doc was a long-time Blues Drummer, Blues D.J. at KZUM, Blues M.C., Blues Advocate, BSO Member, and fixture at the Zoo Bar and wherever the Blues were playing. Doc was a key volunteer at The Mental Health Association’s Annual Blues Benefit. --Terry O’Halloran

To All: Effective July 1, 2011 I will be stepping down as Vice President of the Blues Society of Omaha . I will remain on the Board of Directors through a transition period . This was not an easy decision for me and one I have mulled over for a few years. It has been an honor to serve these past 13 years and to watch our Society turn into one of the top organizations in the country. With that said, I would like to thank the hundreds and hundreds of volunteers that have made the BSO a joy to be a part of. Time after time people have stepped up when called upon. I would also like to thank my family and friends for making this all possible without your help and support and understanding I would not have been able to devote as much time as I have. Thank you “ALL”, Ric Cowger Peace

Sunday Roadhouse Presents: Hillbilly Casino The Waiting Room Lounge • Sunday, July 17th - 5pm TICKETS: $12 ADV / $15 DOS In a town known more for generating pop country ‘hat acts’ and contemporary Christian music, there is a storm brewing. Small independent bands with no management, booking, record labels (or even local media support) are changing the way people think about Nashville Tennessee. One of the leaders of this movement is the Hillbilly Casino, the brain child of Nic Roulette, former singer for Indiana rockabilly powerhouse, ‘The Blue Moon Boys”. In 2004 Roulette moved to Nashville, where after about a year he eventually found a solid core of top notch players that were interested in really being a band. With bassist Geoff Firebaugh (BR5-49), guitarist Ronnie Crutcher (Tabasko Kat, Brian Setzer’s Nashvillains) and drummer Andrew Dickson (Brian Setzer’s Nashvillains) things really started to come together. What started as nothing more than a revved up rockabilly band playing for tips at Layla’s Bluegrass Inn, on Nashville’s famed Lower Broadway, has turned into a closet industry doing over 200 shows a year.

While he has been pigeonholed into Rick Galusha many genres over the years, he would describe himself as an Americana artist that has been influenced by the long tradition of raw and genuine musicians that came before himself. Cox’s new album, “Tracks In The Sound”, is the first fully realized with his band of experienced musicians that include Seth Ondracek on bass, Ben Zinn on electric guitars, Nick Semrad on piano, and Andrew Tyler on drums. This has allowed Cox to flesh out his sound more and try his hand at songs written specifically with the band in mind. A versatile artist, Matt Cox can enthrall audiences with his band, and equally as a solo artist with just a guitar and harmonica. With the band one can expect a full on roots rock romp, and solo he is the quintessential front porch troubadour. In 2010, Cox was honored with an award for Best Americana at Omaha Entertainment & Arts Awards. He was also a multiple OEAA nominee in 2009 July Dinner and Blues (including being nominated for Album of the Year for “My Last Dollar”). “Tracks In The Sound” , was recorded in 5:00 doors open for best seats Lincoln at Fuse Recording with producer Charlie Johnson 6:00 grill opens (Mezcal Brothers).
