Cederic Burnside & Lightin' Malcolm
CEDRIC BURNSIDE, grandson
of the legendary R.L. Burnside, son of drummer great Calvin Jackson, is
widely regarded as one of the best drummers in the world.
Growing up at his grandfather's side, he began
touring
at age 13, playing drums for "Big Daddy" on stages around the globe. Cedric was
born in 1978
and raised around Holly Springs, Miss.,
and has been playing music all his life, developing a relentless,
highly rhythmic charged style with strong hip-hop and funk
influences.
Bluesman LIGHTNIN' MALCOLM is one of the
leading, younger generation artists on the scene today.
Born in rural Missouri, Malcolm enjoyed the freedom of
country life, quickly learning to entertain himself and
others around him. Growing up in a little village called
Burgess in a country house next to the KCS Railroad
that
ran from Kansas City to New Orleans, the train has always been a theme in
Malcolm's music, as well as
the inspiration for the
steady, insistent bass rhythms of rural dance music.

Wilder & Three Bad Jacks
with special guest
Kevin Gordon
There are roots rockers, and then there's Webb Wilder
Hardly a purist, he has described the music he
and his band The Beatnecks make as
Rock for Roots fans and Roots for Rock fans In
essence Rock and Roll There’s nothing new
about
combining R & B, Rock and Roll, Country Blues Pop and Rock The Rolling
Stones
and the Beatles proved that it can yield
marvelous and diverse results I said he wasn’t a PURIST.
I didn’t say he wasn’t very PICKY about the quality of the
music That includes everything from the
sonics of the
recordings, the choice of players the influences he draws on the songs he
chooses to cover,
or how attentive he is to the
craftsmanship of his own songs
Three Bad Jacks
The
self-proclaimed Last Of The Full Grown Men hasn’t limited his creativity to the
music business
A little wheeling and
dealing at the crossroads, a quick slap to an upright bass and a smokin’
beat.
Add to the mix the guitar chops of Elvis Suissa and
Three Bad Jacks music comes in to stretch the borders of rock.
Three Bad Jacks are the bastard sons of rock and roll greats
like Elvis Presley, Joe Strummer, Johnny Cash and
Joey
Ramone. This full throttle trio fuses the best parts of rock, punk and
rockabilly into a unique sound
that defies any label or
category
"Kevin
Gordon's 'O Come Look At The Burning' may be the least classifiable of
the [Nashville Underground]
lot but perhaps the best,
with a strange assortment of swamp rock, blues and literate lyrics."--Playboy,

Wed 7/15 The Susan Cowsill Band
with
special guest Miss Major & Her Minor Mood Swings
Not many people were singing on hit singles and touring the
world when their friends
were still in kindergarten,
but The Cowsills became a cherished part of '60s pop culture.
As the role model for television's Partridge Family, and a
fine act in their own right,
they had three top-ten
singles with "Hair," "The Rain, the Park and Other Things (Flower Girl),"
and "We Can Fly." Soon after those successes, Susan went
into her first retirement at the tender age of 12.
Though
she's been singing for most of her life, Susan Cowsill has never gone solo
before - unless you count a couple of early '70s singles that you'd have to hire
a detective to find. Now, after her famed childhood with the Cowsills, her ten
years with the Continental Drifters and too many guest appearances to list,
Susan has finally recorded her first solo album, entitled Just Belive

Cyril
Neville maybe the last great voice of New Orleans music.
One of the four Neville Brothers, Cyril
Neville was the youngest, born on January 10, 1948, in New
Orleans, LA.
Cyril picked up his love of music from his parents and his
older brothers at an early age, but it wasn't until 1967
(at the age of 19) that Cyril began singing professionally,
as he united with brothers Art and Aaron in the outfit
Art
Neville and the Neville Sounds, playing the New Orleans club
circuit on a regular basis. Cyril and Aaron
eventually
left the group, forming another outfit, Soul Machine,
Music has been Robin
Rogers' consuming passion ever since her days as a teenaged street
singer. Possessing a deeply
expressive and soulful voice
and an infectious enthusiasm for the blues, Robin and her band have developed a
devoted
and growing following. Her Blind Pig debut,
“Treat Me Right”, fulfills the promise of her previous two releases, revealing
an accomplished artist of rare polish and originality.

coming out of the Dallas area. In recent times, Suhler has
stepped into the national spotlight as the second guitarist for
George Thorogood and the Destroyers. On Friday night, Jim
Suhler brought his own band, Monkeybeat, out to Famous Dave’s, performing in
more of the Texas style that Suhler developed as a Texas regional star.
Following an opening instrumental that showcased Suhler’s
guitar talents and featured a clearly Texas, guitar-based style,
the band broke into a fine version of ”Black Cat Bone,”
including Suhler’s fine guitar and vocals, along with and excellent keyboard
solo by Sean Phares, a fine player who has worked with another Texas guitar
notable, Andrew “Jr. Boy” Jones.

7/23 Paul Thorn
with special guest
The Terry Quitte Band
The first thing you notice is The Voice, unique and
distinctive, the voice of a man who has walked a long,
hot span over dusty Mississippi country roads. At turns
soulful, raw, melancholy, brazen, funky, circumspect,
serene, brooding, and mutinous, the voice expresses the
range of human emotions, from forlorn grimness
to
incandescent optimism. And after repeated listens, you realize that his is not
merely the voice of a poet
but also of a merciful
prophet, a summation not unjustified. Those who follow the career of Paul Thorn
believe he is both. His newest CD is A Long Way From Tupelo, a collection of songs which
once again
illustrates Thorn’s versatility and authentic
connection to the music of the Mississippi heartland: blues,
country, gospel, rhythm and blues, and rock 'n' roll. Thorn
excels as a musical storyteller. Maybe, given
his
background, he just can’t help it. His songs are conduits for that gritty part
of the South where
beleaguered wisdom is as likely from
the bottom of a bottle of Johnny Walker Red as it is from the pulpit of an old
country church. And the latest Paul Thorn CD remains true to form.

Sun 8/2 David Lindley (Strings Master)
Multi-instrumentalist David Lindley performs music that
redefines the word "eclectic." Lindley,
well known for
his many years as the featured accompanist with Jackson Browne, and leader of
his
own band El Rayo-X, has long championed the concept
of world music. The David Lindley electro-acoustic
performance effortlessly combines American folk, blues, and
bluegrass traditions with elements from African,
Arabic,
Asian, Celtic, Malagasy, and Turkish musical sources. Lindley incorporates an
incredible array of stringed instruments including but not limited to Kona and
Weissenborn Hawaiian lap steel guitar, Turkish saz and chumbus, Middle Eastern
oud,
and Irish bouzouki. The eye-poppingly clad "Mr.
Dave's" uncanny vocal mimicry and demented sense of humor make his onstage
banter a highlight of the show.
David Lindley grew up in southern California, first taking
up the banjo as a teenager, and subsequently winning the annual Topanga canyon
banjo and fiddle contest five times as he explored the American folk music
tradition. between 1967 and 1971 Lindley founded and lead what must now be seen
as the first world music rock band, the Kaleidoscope. In 1971, Mr. Dave joined
forces with Jackson Browne, serving as Jackson's most significant musical
co-conspirator until 1981. In 1979, Lindley had begun working with old friend Ry
Cooder on 'Bop Till you Drop' and 'The Long Riders' sound track, a musical
collaboration that lasts to this day, and has spawned many recording projects
and several world tours as an acoustic duo.
In 1981, Lindley created his own remarkable Band El Rayo-X,
which integrated American roots music and world beat with a heavy reggae
influence. 'El Rayo-X', 'Win This Record' and 'Very Greasy', as well as a live
e.p. during this period he also came forth with a solo album, 'Mr. Dave'.
Lindley and guitarist Henry Kaiser went to Madagascar for two weeks in 1991 and
recorded six albums of indigenous Malagasy music (including two collaborative
cd's, 'A World Out of Time' volumes one and two on Shanachie) which proved to
have a major impact on the world music scene, both for the quality of the Grammy
nominated music recorded, and the fair and ethical way the Malagasy musicians
were dealt with.

8/7 Heather Myles
(Honky Tonk)
with special guest Dave Gonzalez & The Stone River Boys
Heather Myles gets
her musical inspiration from a background that is as diverse as the artist
herself.
Growing up on a ranch in Southern
California, Heather was immersed in the sounds of country music radio
at a time when legends were being born. The voices of
Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, Waylon Jennings,
and Hank
Williams all played a large part influencing Heather as a songwriter and an
outstanding performer.
Additionally, it was the
sound of her dad's ukulele and grandpa's old Scottish bagpipes that have been
responsible for shaping her into the artist she is
today.
Last summer, out of the ashes of the
Hacienda Brothers, sprung the Stone River Boys featuring Dave Gonzalez and Mike
Barfield. When the Hacienda Brothers released their third and final studio album
titled Arizona Motel in June, guitarist Dave Gonzalez was left with the
unfortunate task of promoting the new release without his partner Chris Gaffney.
Gaffney, a founding member who was also the band’s lead vocalist and accordion
player, died unexpectedly from liver cancer in April. So Gonzalez put together
an Austin all-star band last summer to hit some of The Bros. favorite venues.
Joining him was vocalist Mike Barfield, virtuoso Dave Biller on pedal steel,
bassist Kevin Smith and veteran Tom Lewis on Drums. It was Gonzalez himself who
took over the onstage vocal duties for all of Gaffney’s songs, nailing them with
emotion and finesse night after night. Gonzalez’s outstanding performances are
no surprise to those who followed The Paladins, where Gonzalez did the bulk of
the singing for over 20 years.

magazines. Countless articles have been written about Monte
describing him "The Evel Knivel of Guitar", "Six Strings

and feels boxed in

or consequences
of murder inform her thoughts on love.
(These days, she's shaping what you might call a Civil War post-murder
ballad.)
But the uneven intersections in her work explain
why she makes her home at the musical crossroads of Memphis.

Earl & Them are Earl Cate - Guitar Wizard,
Vocals; Jason Davis - Sloppy Guitar Apprentice, Vocals; Mike Murray -
Bass Guitar, No Vocals or Worries; Terry Cagle - Drums,
Vocals.
Fronted by
brothers Dick and Dave Pruitt on bass and electric guitars, with Michael Cherry
on drums,
the Bel
Airs play a danceable mix with an authentic but eclectic
bluesy-country-soul-and-rock-n-roll sound
influenced by
the likes of Wilson Picket, Slim Harpo, Howlin' Wolf and Johnny Cash.
The Nace
Brothers have been performing together for nearly 20 years. For much of that
time, brothers
Dave and Jimmy Nace have played their own
music. They
have just released their newest CD, which contains
10
original songs by Jimmy Nace. One of the songs, and the one the CD theme is
based on, is an old family story
the boys recently
learned about.
