Aug 30th
Hope everyone has enjoyed a nice summer filled with lots of great live blues music surrounded by friends and blues buddies. Summer has gone by too quickly for myself with not enough free time to attend to many shows but thankfully I have had monthly opportunities to play guitar with some great musicians.

The Insomniacs – Tonight at Wilebski’s Blues Saloon
Aug 13th
The Oregon based blues band The Insomniacs will be playing at Wilebski’s Blues Saloon at the historic Frogtown location in St. Paul, MN for the clubs final shows before moving to a new location.
THE INSOMNIACS brand new release “AT LEAST I’M NOT WITH YOU” (April 21, 2009/Delta Groove Music), the follow-up to their critically-acclaimed debut “Left Coast Blues”, was recorded in only two days. The Portland, OR-based band led by 27-year old vocalist/guitarist/songwriter VYASA DODSON, together with bassist DEAN MUELLER, keyboardist ALEX SHAKERI and drummer DAVE MELYAN, laid down an astounding set of material that had been finely tuned night after night out on the road over the last two years. This release has the benefit of production help from Jeff Scoot Fleenor and the quality sound of one of the finest recording studios on the west coast (Clear Lake Audio). Joined by special guests Al Blake (harmonica) Mitch Kashmar (harmonica), Joel Paterson (pedal steel guitar) and Jeff Turmes (tenor/baritone sax), The Insomniacs expand on their original intoxicating formula — a mix of blues, swing, jump, and roots rock — and deliver what is sure to become an instant classic.
If you dig West Coast Style blues you will love this band… check ‘em out and tell them TwinCitiesBlues sent you!
