SAVOY BROWN BIOGRAPHY Savoy Brown was formed by guitarist Kim Simmonds in 1965 in London, England and is one of the longest running blues/rock bands in existence. Simmonds has been the group's guiding hand from the first singles released in 1966 through the band's newest effort Aint Done Yet, their 41st album, to be released in September 2020 on QVR records. Energetic blues has been the calling card of the band from the beginning. "Blues rock" became the catch-all phrase in the late 1960s to describe the band's music along with that of contemporaries such as Cream, Fleetwood Mac and Jimi Hendrix. In fact, in the 2013 drama film, Jimi Hendrix: All Is By My Side, Savoy Brown's song “Train To Nowhere” was included in the soundtrack. Many of the band's singles and albums have appeared on the Billboard Hot Hundred charts including songs such as “I’m Tired”, “Train To Nowhere” and “Tell Mama” and albums such as Hellbound Train. In 2017, the album Witchy Feelin’ reached #1 on the Billboard Blues chart. Savoy Brown established national status in the 1970s by headlining iconic stages such as Carnegie Hall and Royal Albert Hall. The story continues to this day with Simmonds being helped along by Scott Holt on guitar and vocals, Pat DeSalvo on bass and Garnet Grimm on drums. Simmonds said, “I still have the same energy as I had in my twenties and I have never stopped enjoying entertaining a crowd and giving people inspiration." Savoy Brown and Kim Simmonds have a body of work matched by only a small portion of musical artists. As they continue to tour the world, young and old find inspiration in their energy, timeless music, classic style and ageless performances. .

The Story of Sonny Boy Slim
THE STORY OF SONNY BOY SLIM Ever since 2010, when Gary Clark Jr. wowed audiences with electrifying live sets everywhere from the Crossroads Festival to Hollywood’s historic Hotel Café, his modus operandi has remained crystal clear: “I listen to everything…so I want to play everything.” The revelation that is the Austin-born virtuoso guitarist, vocalist and songwriter finds him just as much an amalgamation of his myriad influences and inspirations. Anyone who gravitated towards Clark’s, 2011’s Bright Lights EP, heard both the evolution of rock and roll and a savior of blues. The following year’s full-length debut, Blak And Blu, illuminated Clark’s vast spectrum - “Please Come Home” is reminiscent of Smokey Robinson, while “Ain’t Messin’ Around” recalls Sly and the Family Stone. 2014’s double disc Gary Clark Jr–Live projected Clark into 3D by adding palpable dimension and transcendent power –– songs soared and drifted from the epic, psychedelic-blues of “When My Train Comes In” to his anthemic, hip-hop, rock-crunch calling card, “Bright Lights”, all the way down to the deep, dark, muddy water of “When The Sun Goes Down”. There are a handful of folks who have informed for the mélange of genres and styles, which comprise the genius of Clark. One is Michael Jackson. It was on Denver stop of MJ’s Bad Tour where a four-year-old Gary’s life was altered after witnessing The King of Pop. By the sixth grade, Clark would own his first set of strings (Ibanez RX20). As a teen, Clark began making a local name by jamming with adult musicians around nearby clubs.

The Twenty Greatest Music Concerts I've Ever Seen
THE TWENTY GREATEST MUSIC CONCERTS I'VE EVER SEEN Whew, I'm done. Let me remind everyone how this worked. I would go through my Ipod in that weird Ipod alphabetical order and when I would come upon an artist that I have seen live, I would replay that concert in my head. (BTW, since this segment started I no longer even have an ipod. All my music is on my laptop and phone now.) The number you see at the end of the concert description is the number of times I have seen that artist live. If it was multiple times, I would do my best to describe the one concert that I considered to be their best. If no number appears, it means I only saw that artist once. Mind you, I have seen many artists live that I do not have a song by on my Ipod. That artist is not represented here. So although the final number of concerts I have seen came to 828 concerts (wow, 828!), the number is actually higher. And there are "bar" bands and artists (like LeCompt and Sam Butera, for example) where I have seen them perform hundreds of sets, but I counted those as "one," although I have seen Lecompt in "concert" also. Any show you see with the four stars (****) means they came damn close to being one of the Top Twenty, but they fell just short. So here's the Twenty. Enjoy and thanks so much for all of your input. And don't sue me if I have a date wrong here and there.

A Band Together. but Who Knew We'd Find As Durable an Application Of
o R M D EVERY MUSICIAN KNOWS IT’s THE RHYTHM SECTION THAT HOLDS a band together. But who knew we’d find as durable an application of that maxim as the one exemplified by the history of Fleetwood Mac? & Over the last thirty years, Fleetwood Mac has comprised fifteen musicians shuffled through six major lineups, resulting in endless tin- kerings with tone and genre. Yet the two members to survive it all rarely write tunes and never front the recordings. They’re the beat- keepers - drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John Me Vie. The fact that a rhythm section could sustain a band through thirty years seems all the more amazing considering the traumatic histories of the band’s shifting array o f stage-front stars. Together, their personal lives have given rock one of its most elaborate and juicy plotlines. (L Religious conversions, spells o f madness, “incestuous” liaisons within the band, drug freak-outs, alleged brainwashings, imperson- Mick ^ stevie ations, everything short of murder have spun Nicks, John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Fleetwood Mac’s legacy into a story worthy of Buckingham (from left) Scheherazade. & Musically the band has endured just as many twists, moving from blues to rockabilly to laid-back California folk rock - finally to bloom into purveyors of some of the most popular and endur- ing music of the Seventies.
