My kind of music?
Louis Jordan meets Eddie Cochran meets Wilson Pickett meets Barrelhouse Boogie.
I like "funky swing". I'm thinkin’ Harlem in the '40s, the West Coast in the '50s,
New Orleans, Memphis, Detroit in the '60s.
I play with Brother Cat, Kenny "Blue" Ray, The Sheiks of R&B, Sugarshack and
a whole bunch of San Francisco Bay Area musicians who cook up a stew with spice
from jump blues legends like T-Bone Walker & Wynonie Harris and masters
like Bo Diddley, Jimmy Reed, Willie Dixon & B.B. King. We mix bayou mojo by
Allen Toussaint & King Floyd with sweet soul by Howard Tate & Clarence Carter.
Then we add a pinch of Motown & some Rockin’ Little Richard & Carl Perkins, too.
The groove is hot, the beat gets you movin’ & baby you are gonna Boogie!
Bring your dancin’ shoes ‘cause a good time is had by all!
