Live Blues for Mar. 12-15th, 2010
Mar 12th
Spring has sprung and who would need a better reason to go out and see some live blues this weekend? Since I can finally see my deck and the snow is gone from in front of my gas grill the warm sun can’t be to far away, right? Now if there were only a blues song about having to pick up after the dog after months of cold weather and not doing so…

Tonight: Studebaker John at The Blues Saloon
Jan 9th
Chicago based blues harmonica, master slide guitarist and vocalist Studebaker John will be performing his second night of shows at Wilebski’s Blues Saloon in St. Paul tonight. Studebaker John is currently supporting his latest and 11th CD “Waiting On The Sun“.
Avanti Records is proud to announce the release of a brand new album by Studebaker John, master slide guitarist and blues harpist. Waiting on the Sun seamlessly incorporates the traditional with the modern, and utilizes a diverse musical pallet, including Chicago blues, boogie, swamp, swing, and even Latin groove. Waiting on the Sun was recorded with two of Chicago’s best rhythm players and frequent Studebaker John touring partners, bassist Bob Halaj and drummer Paul Ashford. The album also features the work of young Polish keyboard wiz, Bartek Szopinski, who is a member of Studebaker John’s European touring band.
Waiting on the Sun contains nearly 80 minutes of all original, highly accessible guitar and harmonica blues and rock. Simply not content to make the same album over and over again, Studebaker John’s Waiting on the Sun is a breathtaking sunrise of different musical elements. Combining, for the first time, slide guitar with Latin rhythms, raw blues grooves, rock and roll, and improvised jams with a touch of jazz that mix together perfectly to give the listener a CD of artistic integrity…in other words, “fun”.
