Greeley Blues Jam
Posted: Sat Jun 18, 2011 5:01 pm
Here's the lineup: Dwayne Dopsie & Zydeco Hellraisers
The Nighthawks
Trampled Under Foot
Coco Montoya
North Mississippi Allstars Duo
Robert Randolph and the Family Band
Also a "Back Porch Stage" with more local talent and a Blues 101 Stage with educational shows were jumping.
Denver darling Erica Brown did a set with her band on the Back Porch, then appeared on the Blues 101 stage, Then ended up jammin' with Robert Randolph at the end of his set! What a powerhouse she is!
I loved seeing the Nighthawks. Guitarist Paul Bell really slings a Tele! Trampled under foot was my favorite act. Very fresh material and a great performance. The North Mississppi Allstar Duo was without their other brother who normally plays bass. Still very polished with a lot of "Trance blues" or Hill Country blues flavor.
Friday night before was a major jam with show featuring local blues talent in probably a dozen different venues!
Greeley is known for it's meat packing plants. It is beginning to grow a lively blues culture. I had a great time! Probably saw some of you there. Sorry I didn't get more pics!
