Great gigs this month with so many talented musicians....... and I had the pleasure of playing some incredible venues this month too including: Five in Lakeview, Oasis, Iron City in Birmingham, BIOYOB 5 somewhere in the middle of the country, and of course (kinda our homebase) Champy's in Alabaster.
The highlight of the month though was the debut of three new original songs by The Sassy Brown Band at Iron City during their annual Blues competition. It was an incredible all-original mini-set of new blues tunes from Lauren Harrison Brown, Glen Butts, Seebie Camp and myself. Tell me another blues band in the area that plays more working gigs, has a better fan base, and/or has the most originality (no gimmicks)...........
Here's my favorite new Sassy original:
SASSY BROWN BAND - "Street Corner Blues"
Special thanks to the many musicians and club owners who I had a chance to share the love of music with this month, including: Whitney Henson (p.s. she secretly loves PBR), Sterling Gros, Glen Butts, Lauren Harrison Brown, Seebie Camp, Rob Harris, Ford Boswell, Bruce Andrews, George Dudley, Ryan Flynt, Bill Park, Matt Willis and Taylor Hunnicutt.
Also, a special shout-out to the super-fans: Connie and Charlie Roche (who provided the video above and countless other videos you see of The Sassy Brown Band and others...THANK YOU!!), June and Wayne Speedy Harrison, Christine Bartlett, Lisa Rowell Tinney and a whole host of others!!!!
