Brian kept teasing me about starting a blues club, but had to put that on the back burner when he became an assistant district attorney in Lee County. I thought about that when I got Tad’s new CD, Day Into Night, in the mail. Tad continues with his smooth soulful blues. “My sound is found at the nexus between blues and soul. Although my original songs may be a distant cousin to the sound of early blues, they are informed by all the traditional blues that I have heard,” Tad said. “As a singer, I gravitate upcoming towards soul and gospel-inflected singers like Ray Charles, Howard Tate, O.V. Wright and as a player, on harmonica, I concerts am drawn to the music of Kim Wilson, Little Walter, Big Walter, Junior Wells, William Clarke, James Cotton.” COREY SMITH The New York native has been making CDs since 1994’s 10/15/15 One to Infinity and has been nominated for every blues award in the business.

  • BIOGRAPHY Rudy Rotta, a Devil of a Guitarist Now Famous Throughout The
    BIOGRAPHY Rudy Rotta, a devil of a guitarist now famous throughout the blues world, served his musical apprenticeship in Lucerne (Switzerland) where his family moved in the early 60s. Aged 18, already with an enormous blues culture and a technique to match, he returned to Italy, where he began the tough life "on the road" of the bluesman. After some compromises and doubts, he strung together an almost endless series of live performances as a promising frontman. His aggressive but disciplined style, the sheer speed of his fingers over the six strings and his singing talent soon made him famous outside Italy, playing at the leading European festivals. Guitarist, singer and excellent songwriter, he is now considered by the specialist European and US press one of the best bluesmen in the world. Together with his phenomenal band, he was a great success (as US commentators have reported) on the ULTIMATE R&B CRUISE of the Mediterranean, in the company of artists of the caliber of Luther Allison, Buckwheat Zyde-co, Katie Webster, John Mooney e John Mayall (who was so impressed he played piano from start to finish at a concert given by Rudy and his band). This led to the prestigious invitation to the Kansas City Blues Festival together with Al Green, Taj Mahal and Brian Setzer, in front of twenty thousand adoring US fans, who voted him Europe's top act. Rudy then went on to record live in Kansas City at the Grand Emporium, the top blues venue in the USA, releasing the CD "Live in Kansas City" (Acoustic Music Records).

  • Joe Filisko Is a Slender, Blond, 28-Year Old Machinist And
    SICKOS UNITE BY CATHI NORTON Joe Filisko is a slender, blond, 28-year old machinist and harmonica wizard who lives in Joliet, IL and enjoys a growing reputation as a master craftsman of custom harmonicas. In my search for some background information on Filisko I obtained a wonderful assist from the excellent Winslow Yerxa, editor of the Harmonica Information Press. Thank you Winslow! "Joe went to technical school, became a machinist, and bought a one-man business (Ravco, Inc.) Straight out of school. He was attracted to the sort of renegade (his word) aspect of the harmonica - there are no rules - and started not only to play it, but to seek out the masters of technique and tinker with the instrument itself. He found masters like Howard Levy, with whom he works closely, as well as traditional masters like Lonnie Glosson, Gwen Foster, and DeFord Bailey -- all of whom were pre-war southern players whose considerable artistic achievements had never been understood by the harmonica community, and whose techniques contained amazing possibilities that had likewise been overlooked. The prewar diatonic is something he really studied closely. Joe can make a harmonica play and sound like most players insist that it should, even though they have never in their lives owned such an instrument. The longing for that instrument, once thought mythical, is something that he and I refer to as 'harmonica lust.' "Joe continues to refine, evolve, and innovate in the design, construction, and adjustment of the diatonic harmonica, proving that inside this mass-produced little instrument lies a huge potential that can be unlocked by a master like him.

  • Matthew Robinson: Still a Wild Mustang
    Matthew Robinson leaned in close so I could better by Roger Gatchet hear him over the raucous, stream-of-consciousness harmonica solo being played by Mike Milligan, the charismatic front man for local Austin workhorses the Altar Boyz. Although modest when discussing his own considerable talent, Robinson is not one to rein in the praise when he hears some good blues. After a hearty deep-bellied laugh, infectious Matthew although barely audible over Milligan’s amplified harp, Robinson exclaimed: “Oh, man! He’s really puttin’ some juice in that thing now!” STILL A WILD MUSTANG I first met Matthew Robinson here, at the semi-final round of the Austin Blues Society’s clev- erly titled HOT (“Heart O’ Texas”) Blues Challenge in late 2008, the competition that would decide which Central Texas blues act would go on to rep- resent the Lone Star State at the International Blues Challenge the following year. The final round was scheduled to take place a month later at Antone’s, but on this night we found ourselves at the lesser- Robinson known Hanover’s Draught Haus, a funky saloon housed in a historic building in the neighboring town of Pflugerville. Robinson was not one of the performers scheduled to compete that evening; rather, he and I were asked by the Society to join a small panel of judges presiding over the evening’s festivities. Robinson’s name may have been absent from the bill, but he certainly came dressed to perform— decked out in all black, with matching slacks, dress shirt, polished cowboy boots and a wide-brimmed black hat—and he told me, as he casually rolled a cigarette on the back patio before the show, that he had his axe waiting out in the car.
