Saturday night rockin' blues

Looking for something fun to do this Saturday evening? Well, we just booked Derek Pritzl to perform at Stumpjack Saturday night at 7:00!

Derek is back in town for the holiday and generously offered to bring his always excellent rockin' blues sound to Stumpjack this weekend. And if that weren't enough to get you pumped up, Derek's special guests will be none other than Mr. Dan Walkner (Clovis Mann) and guitarist Scott Cowling of Died love and Casual Steve.

Sounds like a great way to spend a snowy Saturday evening.

Ethan Keller kicks butt!

Last night Ethan Keller again made it clear that he is one of the most gifted and interesting musicians around. Watching him build a song with his looping gizmos, doing his versions of unusual cover tunes (like Michael Jackson or Thomas Dolby...I'd show you his cover of Dolby's "She Blinded Me with Science" on video here, but he warned that a brick might drop if I did. lol.), and his own beautifully funky compositions is such a gas. Next time Ethan performs here you owe it to yourself to come check him out. I feel safe in saying that you won't find anyone else like him performing in this neck of the woods. I guarantee you will be duly impressed.

Here's a couple videos from last night's gig. The video and audio quality that my Flip Video records is pretty weak and hollow compared to the fullness of sound that Ethan produces while playing...you lose a lot of the little complexities of his performance. But it'll do.

We all shouted for an encore, and Marty hollered for "Christopher's Sister" off of Ethan's Face Light CD. So, this is his final tune from last night. I've placed a few others onto the Stumpjack Coffee YouTube site...check 'em out.
Here's the link to Marty's Flickr set of images from Friday night. The top two images are from Martys camera...some by him and some by me.
