Press Release
PRESS RELEASE Contact: Munnie Jordan, Executive Director E: [email protected] T: 870-572-5223 www.kingbiscuitfestival.com FOR RELEASE ON WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11, 2018, AFTER 5 P.M. 33rd Annual King Biscuit Blues Festival Announces Lineup HELENA, AR — The King Biscuit Blues Festival showcases the nation’s foremost Blues music. Paul Thorn calls The Biscuit “one of my favorites” and “a wonderful event.” Carolyn Wonderland says it’s like going to Mecca: “You gotta make the pilgrimage because it’s where the music’s real.” Charlie Starr of Blackberry Smoke looks at the group’s Biscuit date as his job to “make sure we continue to push outwards with our music and continue to grow where we don’t feel stifled or bored or stagnant.” Each of these acts will perform at the 33rd annual King Biscuit Blues Festival set for October 3 through 6. They represent a commitment to continue a historic thread that’s always made the Biscuit a showcase for the best of the past, present and future of America’s musical art form, the blues. Dave Mason crowns this year’s King Biscuit Saturday night performing with Steve Cropper. Mason calls his appearance at the festival “a chance to do something a little bit different and for me to do some material that I would never normally do.” One of the founders of the British Invasion rock band Traffic, he shares the stage with Steve Cropper, who co-wrote Otis Redding’s “The Dock of The Bay.” Considered the founder of Memphis soul, Cropper was named the number two guitarist of all time (Jimi Hendrix was number one) by England’s Mojo magazine.

The Eddie Cochran Story
SHOW OF STARS 95 bassist Emory Gordy, who'd go on to play with or produce Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, Roy Orbison, and George Jones; drummer Dennis St. John, who'd later work with Neil Diamond, Carole Bayer Sager, and the Band; and keyboardist Spooner Oldham, who'd played with Percy Sledge, Wilson Pickett, and Aretha Franklin and who'd later work with Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and Jackson Browne. Kindred was persistent. I recommended to them some great players; they'd decided that only I would do. Since they were already signed to Warner Brothers and had tremendous touring and recording potential, I decided to join them, recording a pair of Kindred albums in 1971 and 1972 and touring throughout America and Canada opening for Three Do,g Night. Through our shared management connection, I soon got a call from Jerry Edmonton, the drummer from Steppenwolf. They want ed me to join their band. I stayed for three albums and four years as the group's lead guitarist, one of its songwriters , and a co-lead and backing vocalist. Toward the end of my tenure with "the Wolf," I received a call from the Flying Burrito Brothers, the country-rock outfit founded by Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman of the Byrds. They needed a guitarist for a two -week tour. I went down to the rehearsal hall, jammed with the group, and found myself a Burrito for the next fourteen months. Like Uncle Ed in his brief lifetime, I have played with a plethora of artists-from obscure to superstars and try to take something of value away from every musical expe rience.

Chapter 2: Pop-Rock of the 50S and 60S
The Development of Rock & Roll by Dr. Daniel Jacobson © 2016 All Rights Reserved CHAPTER 2 POP-ROCK OF THE 50S AND 60S INTRODUCTION Softer “pop” music styles have played important roles in the development of rock, especially from c1953 to 1966 and in the early 70s. Various pop-related styles in the 50s and early 60s include: • Doo-Wop (1950s and early ‘60s; combined Pop, Gospel and soft R & B elements) • Teen Idol “Crooners” (late ‘50s/early ‘60s; Dick Clark early rock era; soft R & B) • Surf Music (late ‘50s/early ‘60s) • Brill Building/Aldon Music (‘60s pop; extension of “Tin Pan Alley” tradition) • Early Motown (early 1960s; “Soul-pop” music) I. THE CHANGING OF THE GUARD IN 50s ROCK During the years 1957 to 1961, Rock & Roll lost the impact of at least ten of its most prominent trendsetters. • March 1956: While on his way to perform for The Perry Como Show in New York City, Carl Perkins was involved in a car crash in which he suffered a fractured shoulder and skull. Perkins lost his chance for major fame, and was soon overshadowed by the rise of Elvis Presley. • October 1957: Little Richard renounced Rock and Roll for the ministry of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. • November 1957: Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13-year-old third cousin (while “forgetting” to divorce his first wife.) The scandal that followed destroyed his career. • March 1958: Elvis Presley was drafted into the army, serving in Germany until 1960. • February 1959: a small-plane crash near Fargo, North Dakota killed Buddy Holly, J.P.

Eddie Cochrane
Eddie Cochrane Edward Ray Cochran was born on the 3rd October 1938 in Albert Lea, Minnesota, U. S. A. He became well known with he rise of the Rock n Roll Music phenomena during the 1950’s. Three of his best known hits were Summertime Blues, Three Steps to Heaven and C’mon Everybody. On 3rd February 1959 an air crash took the lives of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper. The former two being good friends of Eddie. Eddie recorded a tribute to the three artists called the Three Stars. After the loss of Holly and Valens, Eddie Cochrane became convinced he would die young in a fatal accident. His wish was to tour less and record and write more to avoid potentially dangerous situations whilst touring. Contracts and finances were to keep Eddie on the road and he accepted the chance to tour the UK in 1960. Eddie Cochrane appeared with fellow musician Gene Vincent at the Bristol Hippodrome on Saturday, 16th April 1960. After the show they were to drive to London in a hired taxi along with Sharon Sheeley, a songwriter who was Eddie’s fiancée and tour manager Pat Tomkins. The route from Bristol to London would have meant a journey through Chippenham and at around 11.50 p.m. the speeding taxi crashed into a lamppost on Rowden Hill. In protecting his fiancée Eddie Cochrane was thrown from the taxi when a door flung open on impact. Gene Vincent suffered more damage to a previously injured and weak leg. Eddies fiancée and tour manager also survived the crash.
