The Delta Swingers have been playing up a storm lately! Already this week we played a Blues Union dance night last night in Union Square Somerville – which resulted in some pretty sweet moves created by the dancers for our new “dance” song The Delta Swing! Plus I got some blues dance lessons, and we were joined on stage for a coupla tunes by dancer Tim Lewandowski on trombone. The dueling trombone and harmonica was great! And tonight we are extremely honored to be opening for James Cotton and his “Superharp” Band at the Regent Theatre in Arlington! Here’s the Facebook event and here’s the poster:
And the big week of delta blues continues on Saturday night (11/6) with our downhome show at Smoken’ Joes’ BBQ n’ Blues in Brighton (RSVP at the Facebook event). Whew! What a week! I’m feeling very lucky to have such a great band – harmonica player/blues guy Richard “Rosy” Rosenblatt, bass player Jim Countryman and the bestest singing drummer who has a great falsetto – Bob Nisi! Oh, and if you want a taste of the new band, you can now hear four live demo songs of the band streaming at our website! Let me know what ya think!
Next week is Lovewhip’s big last show of the year in Portland, Maine… (we do still have a couple more Boston-area shows in 2010…) More on how that’s going soon!
