DAVE RILEY AND BOB CORRITORE Hush Your Fuss! CONTEMPORARY JUKE JOINT BLUES, PERFORMED BY MODERN MASTERS “I first heard Dave Riley and Bob Corritore perform together at the King Biscuit Festival in 2009. Dave captivated the audience with his original songs, fine Mississippi-flavored singing and guitar, and friendly stage presence. And Bob’s masterful full-toned Chicago harp and strong ensemble playing charged each song with deep blues. Together they have a crafted sound completely unique to these two experienced blues players. This, their 3rd CD, upholds and advances their tour-tested formula. Come and get it from Dave and Bob. STREET DATE: 9/17/13 It’s not a history lesson or the same old stories.

Bob Corritore Bio
Bob Corritore Bio Bob Corritore is one of the most active and highly regarded blues harmonica players on the scene today. His style passionately carries forward the old school of playing that Corritore learned as a young man directly from many of original pioneers of Chicago Blues. His sympathetic, yet fiery harmonica playing is featured on over 25 releases to date, on labels such as HighTone, HMG, Blue Witch, Blind Pig, Earwig, Putumayo, Random Chance, and the VizzTone Label Group. Many of these acclaimed releases have been nominated for various Handy, Grammy, and Blues Music Awards. Bob is also widely recognized for his many roles in the blues, as band leader, club owner, record producer, radio show host, arts foundation founder, and occasional writer. His amazing website www.bobcorritore.com and his weekly e-newsletter reflect a life thoroughly invested in the blues. Born on September 27, 1956 in Chicago, Bob first heard Muddy Waters on the radio at age 12, an event which changed his life forever. Within a year, he was playing harmonica and collecting blues albums. He would see blues shows in his early teens, including attending a Muddy Waters performance at his high school gymnasium. He would cut his teeth sitting in with John Henry Davis on Maxwell Street until he was old enough to sneak into blues clubs. He hung around great harp players such as Big Walter Horton, Little Mack Simmons, Louis Myers, Junior Wells, Big John Wrencher, and Carey Bell, and received harmonica tips and encouragement from many of them. He would regularly see the Aces, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Billy Boy Arnold, John Brim, Sunnyland Slim, Smokey Smothers, Eddie Taylor, and in many cases became personal friends with these blues veterans.

BOB MARGOLIN BOOKING ONESHEET.Pages
BOB MARGOLIN - DEEP BLUES Bob is prominent in today’s Blues scene. He tours worldwide at festivals, concerts, clubs and workshops. His self-titled album reveals the latest from the 2017 Blues Music Award winner for Best Male Traditional Blues Artist. Released Oct. 12, 2018 by the VizzTone Label Group (Bob is a founding partner), six new original songs are his Blues for today’s world. He also interprets nine songs he learned “back in the day” from his legendary friends Muddy Waters, The Band, Johnny Winter, Jimmy Rogers, Snooky Pryor, Pinetop Perkins and James Cotton. Bob played and sang every note, produced, recorded and mixed this album. In early 2017 Bob was featured on The Last Waltz 40 Tour, celebrating the movie and concert. Bob led songs played with Warren Haynes, Don Was, Jamey Johnson, Taj Mahal, Dr. John, Michael McDonald, Garth Hudson, and more. Bob was in the original 1976 Last Waltz concert and film, playing with Muddy Waters and The Band. In 2018 and 2019 Bob will be performing: • with the Bob Margolin Trio • with the Bobs of the Blues - Bob Corritore & Bob Stroger • Guesting with other bands, making a stronger billing than separately • Solo Bob leads "Mannish Boy" Last Waltz 40 Tour “Heaven Mississippi” from My Road From 1973-‘80 Bob played guitar in Muddy Waters’ band, appearing on all the albums Muddy made then and at special shows like The Last Waltz. Since 1980, Bob performs his own songs, but still honors his historic and personal connection to Muddy Waters. "After nearly 50 years of playing the Blues, Margolin should be bestowed with the 'icon' title.

It's February and normally we would be in Memphis celebrating music from around the world at the International Blues Challenge. Much has changed since last years' event, with Covid 19 taking the stage-literally. Actually, taking stages- plural-since many stages around the world have shut their doors due to government mandates and public gatherings. Some iconic stages are now forever silent. But many continue to fight to survive. An NC Club is suing Governor Roy Cooper over his executive orders that they allege discriminate against private clubs. On Dec. 21, Pacific Legal Foundation filed a lawsuit against Cooper on behalf of Crystal and Kenneth Waldron and their business of 18 years, Club 519. The complaint seeks relief from Cooper’s “arbitrary treatment of bars as unconstitutional under the state and federal Constitutions.”The suit is seeking an injunction that would allow for private bars to open under the same rules and safety precautions as other bars across the state are currently operating under.
