THE SLIDE ZONE | ||
| A Special Letter to Our Slide Zone Friends, Family and Fans....from Gaynell Rogers Hello Everyone.... So much is happening in the 'Slide Zone', we thought we'd send out a newsletter and update you all on a few things... Touring News! For the first time in years, Roy Rogers and The Delta Rhythm Kings are touring the South East and North East this month. The dates are posted on the website (www.roy-rogers.com) and we are hitting Atlanta, Charlotte, Norfolk and Arlington Virginia as well as Ohio and New York. Please let your friends and family know and support live music out there on the road...in these troubled times we can use all the help we can get! Also the band is going over to Lucerne, Switzerland in November for a festival. Fun times! Benefit for Drummer Billy Lewis Our drummer Billy Lewis was diagnosed with cancer this last summer, and with a new wife and baby this has been very rough. He has lost a summer and fall of income. We are lucky to have Mike Hyman from Louisville, Kentucky working with us this fall. Mike was in the band in the early 90's and a great musician. You can find more information on him on the website under Band Info. On Dec. 5th we will be hosting a benefit for Billy and his family here in San Francisco at Slim's and it will be an all star cast of characters you can be sure! Roy Rogers and The Delta Rhythm Kings and the Tommy Castro Band will be the co-bill with some very special guests. So stay tuned on the website for more news on how you can contribute and participate. Fundraising for Hurricane Relief and the New Orleans Musicians Clinic As most of you know I was born in New Orleans, and these past few weeks have been very difficult, sad - but motivating. None of my family is there, however we have many close friends and an extended musical family there and in Mississippi. This disaster will be with us for years to come. But time to do all that we can for the recovery of this great region of our country that is filled with a bounty of amazing musicians, history and art. As a lot of you know Roy and I have been going to New Orleans for years and even spent our honeymoon there. We?ve just always felt that it was such a special place in America?s culture. So now it's time to get in to gear... We have chosen to fundraise for The New Orleans Musicians Clinic which is running out of Lafayette, LA in exile. Please see their plea below. It is a moving and very worthy organization that does great work for this special community of musicians. They need all the help they can get - and not just now - but for months to come. National Distribution of Live! We are please to announce the national distribution of Live! At the Big Room from The Sierra Nevada Brewing Company. Please tell your friends to go to Tower Records, Virgin and major retailers to get their very own copy of the recording! We send our best and are so grateful to all of you for your continuing support ~ Gaynell Rogers |

New Orleans Musicians Clinic - This is a very worthy read... THE NEW ORLEANS MUSICIANS CLINIC-IN-EXILE LAFAYETTE, Louisiana September 8, 2005 When the New Orleans' Musicians Clinic was founded in 1998 we had a simple mission- To sustain our musicians in mind, body and soul. (www.wwoz.org/clinic) At the time our founder, Dr. Jack McConnell (founder of Volunteers in Medicine, and creator of incapsulated Tylenol) got the committment from the LSU Medical School dean by asking, "It's not if you can afford to care for musicians, it is if you can afford not to." And now our dedicated staff feel that the very soul of our culture is in jeapordy and we are doing all we can to keep the music alive. Last evening 150 New Orleans musicians came together at Grant Street, one of Lafayette's (2 1/2 hours sw of New Orleans in the heart of the Cajun country) famed music clubs.In a culture where even our funerals have dancing and music, silence is a bleak testiment to the loss of soul. The absence of instruments seemed to add a note of desperation as musicians tenatively walked into the unfamiliar club. Their solemn faces reflected uncertainty and despair. Brittany Kite, the second generation proprieter of the club, had opened her heart to New Orleans displaced musicians and to the newly arrived staff of the New Orleans Musicians Clinic. It was a simple gesture of kindness, a heartfelt welcome. There was no agenda, no fanfare. Just a place to see familiar faces and an open mike. Michelle Gegenheimer, NOMC Administrative Director, spoke of her own displacement from home, family and community. Then she pledged her determination to protect and serve the musicians of New Orleans. To continue the familiar comfort the clinic has always provided. She praised the outpouring of support from the NOMC's sister clinic, Healthcare for Musicians ( H4M), especially SWALHEC, and the leadership of Jeanne Solis and Tanya James. Kathy Richard, Administrative Director of H4M, embraced the musicians with her genuine Cajun openess and compassion, " You are our family and we welcome you into our home. It is our great privilege to have you enrich our community with your presence." Robert Guercio and Mike Delcambre of 307 Downtown ( formerly 307 Jazz and Blues) shared what they had set up... Another simple act of thoughtfulness. They handed out flyers of all the local clubs who would both host regular open houses for musicians so they would have a place to hangout, and they had organized a roster of clubs who were adding extra gigs so musicians could begin performing again. Word got out that Wendy Oxenhorn of the Jazz Foundation of America had secured instruments for the musicians. That Kathy Richard had secured a warehouse in Lafayette to store the instruments and even had a security guard who would stand guard. Other groups were seeking laptops, cd players, clothing gift certificates. Rick Roth, a longtime NOMC donor, at Mirror Image in Pawtucket, R.I. had gotten Hanes to donate 5000 shirts. His fair trade tee shirt factory was printing the crescent symbol of the city with the slogan-bent not broken. 200 shirts would soon be arriving in Lafayette for NOMC staffers and musicians. They will also be sold by several national record chains. Scott Aiges, Music Commissioner of New Orleans, would soon have a news portal up and running nomusiciansrelief.net. Noted Cajun musicians Micheal Doucet (Beausoliel) and Zachary Richard gently moved through the crowd, hugging their comrades, promising their support. Doucet has volunteered to produce the H4M fundraising street dance next week. Richard is helping to organize paid gigs for musicians in the schools and shelters. There were a lot of embraces, tears and then by the end of the evening Kathy Richard noticed that the men were standing taller and were smiling. As she told me, " I believe our first goal had been accomplished- we had established a sense of community, trust and hope for New Orleans' musicians!" For the past week telecommunications have been daunting in the gulf south. Most of us NOMC-ers finally had to turn off the TV and we had to turn off our tears. Many of you who know me recall that I wrote the book REDNECK HEAVEN in which I learned a lot of redneck wisdom. There is that phrase-"there are two kinds of people in the world- seemers and be-ers." All of us strive to accomplish what we can put our arms around. Now we move on to our second daunting goal- at Grant Street each musician filled out a Needs Assessment/contact information form. Kathy Richard and Michelle Gegenheimer are currently setting in motion a plan to satisfy the most immediate needs of each musician. Marsha Broussard, the director of the Rural Health Iniative, has volunteered to be the Executive Director for the NOMC-in -Exile and to assist in fascilitating the goals of the coalition of those working to provide services for our musicians. Johann Bultman, Chairman of the NOMC remains in New Orleans where his immediate goal is to return to the NOMC/DOC clinic as soon as the water goes down to retrieve vital records and to begin rebuikding the actual clinic site. He is also insuring that all donations we receive will be appropriately processed, acknowledged, and spent effectively. Many of you know that the NOMC has a formula for aid-- for every $1 we raise we provide $12 worth of services. We strive to weave together existing services and rally donated services and goods whenever possible. Bethany (me), the NOMC Outreach Chair, struggles with spotty telecommunications in Natchez, Mississippi. I am conducting fundraising and serving as laison with the NOMC staff in Lafayette. Each of us from New Orleans faces uncertainity, each of us shares the determination to sustain our beloved culture. And each of us is committed to this mission for the long hall. We not only will settle the musicians and their families in the Lafayette community, but we will resettle them in New Orleans. That said, we are still have no access to our NOMC bank accounts so we must start from scratch raising money: This fund goes directly to sustain our NOMC-in-Exile operations until January 2006 and to provide direct assistance to musicians ( from purchasing gasoline to school uniforms for their children and everything in between.) There is a second fund ( simulatenously) which we are in the process of establishing: As soon as possible we want to begin paying musicians to perform in the schools and shelters throughout La.. At the moment I can not provide firm details, but I can assure you that by Monday, September 12 we will have a firm system in place. In closing, I want to provide some information about us which you can share with others who may want to join our iniative: The New Orleans Musicians' Clinic (NOMC) is an innovative not-for-profit occupational medicine and wellness partnership offering comprehensive health care to our community's most precious resource: our musicians. Our sponsors are the Daughters of Charity Services of New Orleans, The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation, and the LSU Health Care Network. Dedicated on May 2, 1998, NOMC became the first such health initiative in the United States, addressing the health care needs of musicians and their families, an under-served segment of the population. To date our dedicated consortium of service providers has treated more than 1000 local musicians. Our Lafayette iniative is not limited to our prior NOMC patients. It is open to all New Orleans musicians and their families. We are blessed that our partners at SWALHEC and H4M already had a wonderful health care system in place to serve musicians ( utilize both FQHC clinics and the LSU residency program at UMC). Catherine Lasparges, NOMC nurse practioner, has relocated to Lafayette. A home health agency has offered her all monitoring equipment so that she can monitor and triage all New Orleans musicians into the well estbalished health system in the Acadian region of southwest Louisiana. As you know, New Orleans music transcends all cultural barriers. Not only do we strive to affect an agenda of wellness in our musician patient population, we encourage our musicians to become advocates for early detection, prevention, and treatment for others facing the same catastrophic risks. Our hometown musicians travel the world, making them the coolest people in their neighborhoods. By targeting a group of thought leaders and cultural icons, we hope to influence a larger portion of society and begin to influence the healthcare seeking patterns of our population at large. In July 2002, the NOMC was able to secure funding from the LSU Biomedical Research Fund through the generous support of Pfizer Inc and Pfizer Foundation for $100,000 over two years to Improve Healthcare Access and Outcomes in the New Orleans' music community. Ironically it was with this money that we helped create our sister clinic in Lafayette, which has now welcomed its arms to us. Just prior to Katrina we had received word of a Wisner Grant from Mayor Nagin to assist us in implementing a Diabetes Maintence Group for musicians. As soon as we can get on his radar we will ask him to redirect the funds into our Lafayette iniative so that we can secure diabetes care for all our musicians in need-- diet, medical evaluations, medications. We appreciate your advice, your prayers and your support to aid us in keeping the music alive in Louisiana! Bethany Bultman NOMC Co-Founder and Outreach Chair |

TERRY EVANS BAND & HANS THEESSINK Two Hearts - One Soul! FREITAG 21.OKTOBER WIEN / PLANET MUSIC 20:00 TICKET-INFORMATION: http://www.planet.tt Mit seiner Dynamik und Kraft gehört TERRY EVANS zu besten Soul und Blues-Sängern unserer Zeit. Geboren im Herzen des Mississippi-Deltas, in Vicksburg, wurde er in unseren Breitengraden durch seine Arbeit mit Größen wie Ry Cooder (in dessen Band er die ganze Welt bereiste), Bobby King, John Fogerty, Joan Armatrading oder John Lee Hooker bekannt. Fans des Films “Crossroads" werden seine außergewöhnliche Stimme mit dem Song “Down in Mississippi" verbinden. Aber auch seine hervorragenden Soloalben fanden viele Fans und er gehört mit Sicherheit zu den dynamischten, kraftvollsten und besten Soul- und Blues-Sängern unserer Zeit. Es besteht auch eine langjährige Zusammenarbeit mit Hans Theessink; die beiden waren viel gemeinsam unterwegs und Terry sang u.A. auf die Theessink Alben: "Call Me", "Crazy Moon" und "Journey On".

PAUL PENA: 1950 - 2005 | ||
 Photo:©Peter Pena |
We're sad to report that Paul passed away Saturday October 1, 2005 in the early evening at his apartment in San Francisco. He'd been through a long battle with Pancreatitis and Diabetes. This is a huge loss for all of us. During the past eight years, Paul's health has been on the decline and his quality of life was greatly diminished by the nearly constant state of pain that he was in. We can take comfort in knowing that he's no longer suffering. There are plans for a memorial concert in the works and we'll post the details here when they've been solidified. October 2, 2005 San Francisco Friends: email your condolences to the Pena family. |

Brian Blain On October 4, NorthernBlues Music released Brian Blain’s latest CD, Overqualified for the Blues. Brian Blain is the quintessential 21st century northern bluesman - a study in contradiction. His guitar style is as authentic and soulful, as you will find in any blues - south, east, west or north - while his lyrics reveal a unique contemporary point of view. His vocals do not sound like some old blues guy, yet he is an old blues guy, with 60 years of life experiences and 40 years writing and singing about them (on the same Epihone guitar). His lyrics are thoughtful but he is an entertainer at heart. Special guests on the CD include Harry Manx, Paul Reddick, Richard Bell, Butch Coulter, Jim Galloway, Michael Fonfara, Michael Jerome Browne and Michelle Josef. You can find out more about Brian at http://www.brianblain.ca and the CD at http://www.northernblues.com. David Jacobs-Strain Blues/roots/Americana guitar virtuoso, David Jacobs-Strain performed on the nationally syndicated Woodsongs Radio Hour last week. You can watch the performance at http://webcast.msc.uky.edu/woodsongs-369.wmv and the audio archive will be available shortly. You can find out more about David at http://www.davidjacobs-strain.com. Mojo Stu Mojo Stu is performing at The Greater Philadelphia Rock, Rhythm and Blues Fest on Friday, October 7 at 7 p.m. Other performers include Shemekia Copeland, Otis Taylor, and the Campbell Brothers. For more information about the festival and the performers visit http://tickets.worldcafelive.com/eventperformances.asp?evt=981. You can find out more about Mojo Stu at http://www.mojostu.com. Michael Powers W.C. Handy nominee, Michael Powers, will be in the South the third week of October to perform at the Promise of the Blues on October 20, 2005 at 7:30 p.m. at Bologna Performing Arts Center, Cleveland, MS, http://www.bolognapac.com/SeasonLineUp.htm. Michael will be appearing with Big Bill Morganfield and 2005 IBC "Best Unsigned Blues Band," Diunna Greenleaf and the Blue Mercy Band. While in the South, Michael will also be performing at: 10-22 – Soul Stew with Brett Fleming, WEVL, Memphis 10-23 – Huey’s Midtown, Memphis 10-24 – Bourbon Street Blues & Boogie Bar, Nashville 10-27 – Thacker Mountain Radio Show, Oxford, MS 10-28 – Sassy Ann’s, Knoxville Beardo recently had this to say about Michael in a review of the Poconos Blues Festival on BluesWax (www.blueswax.com): "… We eschewed the long buffet line to get ringside for sensational Michael Powers and his band to witness one of the most complete guitar players on the scene in years. As the multitude got situated, Powers opened the 14th Poconos Blues Festival (and quite a few eyes) with a resounding set of electric blues, and to my delight his excellent cover of Count Five's "Psychotic Reaction." To close the set, Powers and band performed their newest, soon-to-be-released single, "(Taking Off Her) Rock and Roll Sweater." Consequently, one of the longest lines for autographed CDs then commenced as, "Where the hell has this guy been?" was the theme of the conversation." You can find out more about Michael at www.michaelpowersfrequency.com. Bill Rhoades and The Party Kings White Owl Records has released the new Bill Rhoades and The Party Kings’ CD Voodoo Lovin,’ produced by Northwest blues master Terry Robb. Bill Rhoades And The Party Kings have been a fixture on the Northwest Blues scene for over thirty-five years. Bill Rhoades has been nominated for the Cascade Blues Association’s coveted Muddy Award each year of the 12 it’s been awarded winning a total of 10 including four for Best Blues Harp. Bill and his band will represent the CBA in Memphis at the 2006 IBC Challenge. Bill is also a blues DJ on Portland’s KBOO FM and produces the regional and annual Harmonica Summit in February and the Harmonica Blow-off in July. The late great Albert Collins told Bill "You sound like a combination of a Charlie Musselwhite and Big Walter Horton – I know – I’ve played with both of them." The Downtowner newspaper labels Bill as "The Godfather of the Northwest Blues." Check out Voodoo Lovin’ song samples at http://cdbaby.com/cd/bratpk and www.billrhoadesandthepartykings.com. Mem Shannon & The Membership New Orleans may be in trouble right now, but Mem Shannon and the guys are still bringing their funk & blues from the Crescent City to you.

 LYNWOOD SLIM a.k.a. Richard DuranLynwood Slim felt there were only two things he could do to make a living: shoot a pool or play harmonica. Thank goodness he chose to be a musician. As a child he played trumpet, but at 15 he picked up the harmonica. Although drawn to listening to Jimmy Reed and Little Walter, he made the career choice after watching Brooklyn Slim and Paul Oscher. His early memorable gigs allowed him to sit in with Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson and others. When the southern California scene dried up in the mid-'70s, he packed up and moved to Minneapolis.often with Leonard "Baby Doo" Caston, James Smith and Walter Horton. His style of swing blues won him numerous awards bestowed by the Minnesota Music Academy, and he documented musical triumphs with Lost in America, releasedin 1990; and Soul Feet, released in 1991 and reissued five yearslater.Slim briefly returned to Los Angeles, where joined Dave Specter and moved to Chicago in 1995. Several years later, family circumstances and the reblossoming of the southern California scene returned Slim home. Besides his presence gracing the live L.A. scene, Slim and producer Jerry Hall have produced European and American artists over the years. In 1998, they set up their own record label, Pacific Blue Recording Company; World Wide Wood followed in 2000. Disponibile dal 6 al 19 Febbraio 2006 |

SONNY RHODES: The Texas Blues Legend  Nell’olimpo del blues Sonny Rhodes siede accanto ai pochissimi “grandi”rimasti dell’ultima generazione. Clarence E.Smith alias Sonny Rhodes è un genuino bluesmantexano ed è considerato uno dei maestri contemporanei. Un chitarrista versatile dotato di una voce ruvida e di una reale passione per la sua musica; Sonny suona la chitarra e la “lap-steel guitar” strumento tipicamente texano, che ha rinforzato la sua originalità interpretativa, producendo sonorità che ipnotizzano e stimolano la curiosità degli ascoltatori, uno strumento che dà alla sua musica un suono unico e coinvolgente .Sul palco, con il suo abbigliamento coloratissimo, Sonny è un’indimenticabile ed affascinante personaggio che contrasta con la forza graffiante del testo lirico delle sue canzoni e della sua musica. Nato il 3 novembre 1940 a Smithville, Texas, Sonny è il sesto ed ultimo figlio di Leroy e Julia Smith , una famiglia di mezzadri. La prima la chitarra la ricevette in regalo a 8 anni, quattro anni più tardi iniziò a suonarla seriamente. Sonny cominciò ad esibirsi in pubblico nei locali dell’area di Smithvillee Austin verso la fine degli anni 50’.Influenzato nei suoi debutti da Junior Parker e Bobby Bland, due cantanti che ebbero un’enorme popolarità negli anni 50’ e 60’, si è avvicinato col passare del tempo sempre di più allo stile vivido di Freddie King e più delicato del giovane T.Bone Walker e ai tanti altri chitarristi che lo hanno influenzato all’inizio della sua carriera come Lowell Fulsom,Pee WeeCrayton e B.B.King, e il grande cantantePercy Mayfield.La sua prima band fu “Clarence Smith & The Daylighters”e con questo Gruppo incise e si esibì fino a quando entrò nella Marina Militare.  Nel 1958 registrò a Austin un singolo per la Domino Records di proprietà di Laura Jane “When Something Is Wrong” e imparò a suonare il basso tanto da farparte dei gruppi di Freddie King e AlbertCollins.Dopo il congedo militare ritornò in California per stabilirsi a Fresno, qualche Anno prima di firmare un contratto discografico per la Galaxy Records di Oakland. Dal 1976 Sonny Rhodes ha avuto modo di farsi conoscere ed apprezzare notevolmente anche in Europa aprendosi un nuovo mercato, sia con conmolti tour che registrando per diverse etichette discografiche europee.Negli anni 80’ si trasferiscenuovamente a Oakland e contribuisce alla fertile scena bluesdella S.Francisco Bay Area diventando uno dei maggiori talenti/musicisti della nuova generazione dei bluesman della West-Coast . Negli anni 90’si stabilisce nel New Jersey arricchendocon la sua presenza la scena blues di Philadelphia e dell’intero Nord-Est. I suoi ultimi sette lavori discografici li registra in Florida negli studi della King Snake Records dello scomparso Bob Greenlee. Chitarrista, cantante, compositore, Sonny Rhodes ha ereditato la fama e lo scettro degli artisti che lo hanno precedutocome il grande Albert Collins o Johnny Copeland ed è considerato una delle ultime leggende viventi ed un’importante icona del blues americano.Le molte registrazioni eseguite negli ultimi 45 anni di attività professionale testimoniano oltre ad un versatile repertorio che spazia dalla ballads al soul, dal “deep blues”al Rhythm’n’blues, ad alcune dei più coinvolgenti “hard drivin’shuffles”, la raffinatezza e la purezza di questo straordinario cantante-chitarrista.. Pluripremiato al Handy Blues Awards ogni anno, ormai da oltre una dozzina di anni, si è aggiunto nel 2003 anche il conferimento/riconoscimento da parte della Camera del Congresso Americana di “Blues Legend”. Sonny Rhodes è entrato nella leggenda con uno stile molto personale fatto di immagini sonore ricche di “feeling” sincero e perfezione formale che lo contraddistinguono. I brani che canta, per la maggior parte di sua composizione, sono testimonianza di un’ intensa autenticità poetica e musicale espressa in valori umani inequivocabili. Disponibile a grandissima richiesta dal 27 Febbraio al 19 Marzo 2006 |

 BRIAN TEMPLETON“Brian Templeton is one of the most talented vocalists to come along in quite a while. His combination of power and conviction along with unerring pitch and a swinging and flexible sense of time makes his delivery truly stand out, and his dynamic stage presence makes him a "must see" live.” Jerry Portnoy-Harmonica Master 8 years with Muddy Waters . Founder and recently recorded (From the Cradle) and performed worldwide as a member of Eric Clapton’s Blues Band “The depth and intensity apparent in Templeton’s vocals are not the qualities of a mere imitator. His voice has a beefed-up, muscular character that’s grown immensely since the bands early days.” Art Tipaldi-Blues Revue Magazine “The center of attention is singer Brian Templeton, who proves that showmanship needn’t compromise soulful expression. His big barrel-chested baritone and complementary harmonica allow him to cover old tunes with unusual ease and authority. Templeton never sounds as if he’s reaching beyond his grasp. In short, he knows what he’s doing.” Mike Joyce-The Washington Post “Templeton sings as full as a prairie sunset. His voice is extremely expressive, with a heavy, tarnished quality tailored for blues” Marc Levy-The Boston Phoenix “Templeton delivers song that belies a Bay State upbringing. The listener suspects he spent time around Chicago or Austin, Texas.” Scott McLennan-Telegram & Gazette “The best front-man in Boston.” Greg Sarni- Pres. Blues Trust Productions and promoter of the Boston Blues Festival “Brian Templeton loves to sing the blues live. And it shows!” Marie Lingblom- The Woburn Advocate. Fondatore e leader dei RADIO KINGS per 8 anni, Brian si è costruito una solida reputazione solista dal 1999 (da quando il gruppo si è sciolto) per essere un potentecantante baritono, un fantastico armonicista e un grandeautore, tanto da meritarsi il titolo di “The Boston Best Blues front men”. Nel 2000, dopo i tre cd realizzati coni RADIO KINGS, Brian ritorna in studio per il cd “Home” per la Stone Cold Records,accompagnato da un manipolo di musicisti dell’area di Boston tra cui spicca il chitarrista prodigio MIKE MONSTER WELCH (in questa occasione anche nelle vesti di produttore). Il cd viene accolto entusiasticamente dalla critica americana ed europea.Recentemente Brian ha girato come cantante nella band di JAMES COTTON, e nel gruppo di KID BANGHAM (il chitarrista dei FABULOUS THUNDERBIRDS e di SUGAR RAY & THE BLUETONES), ma la cosa che più lo fa grande è la sua abilità nell’intrattenere la platea, e come lo stesso Brian dice“…non penso a me stesso come ad un musicista, ma come ad uno showmen”. La sua enfasi nel coinvolgere l’audience è elettrizzante fino a farla ballare e cantare seguendo il ritmo; risultato: una legione di fans. Disponibile dal 3 al 16 Aprile 2006 |
