💿 ALBUM REVIEW: John Primer and Friends - Tribute To Theresa's Lounge

Image
John fell in love with the blues as a child when his father and an older cousin played guitar and sang at night after a hard day in the fields. His mother moved to Chicago to secure a job and support her family. She promised to bring John and his sister to the big city when they reached age 18, leaving them with family. Depressed and lonely, young Primer frequently went into the neighboring woods, where he cried his troubles away and began singing the blues in solitude. He eventually built himself a diddley bow on the side of his grandmother's house out of broom wire, two nails and a brick and began accompanying himself as he sang, eventually playing for dimes and quarters in his schoolyard. After listening to Jimmy Reed , Little Milton, B.B.

Minnie Marks


Minnie Marks is a 17 year old singer/songwriter/guitarist from the mid-north coast. Her performance is like a pack of fruit tingles being thrown into a bottle of coke. With a smile as happy as the sunshine, an undeniable soul and a right hand like a machine gun, Minnie is quickly making a household name for herself in the industry as the "Finest young guitar player in Australia" as said by Julz Parker (named Australia's best female guitar player by Phil Emmanuel). With her fresh, groovy style, showmanship and fearless obsession for her music, it has pushed the limits of guitar, vocals and performance, which has touted her "the next big thing".
Recently Minnie took out the 'Emerging Artist' title at the Nannup Music Festival in Western Australia and a few weeks later taking out the 'Busking over Byron' competition to perform on the Juke Joint stage at Bluesfest giving a show suggested by one interviewer as "nearly stealing Bluesfest" proving she is rapidly conquering both sides of the country.
In January 2010 she released her 1st album 'Mystery Box' which is available on iTunes. Minnie is currently focused on writing a new album, which is to be released early next year. With a burning desire to keep writing, performing and expanding her knowledge of music and life...What is to come in the next few years looks eclectic, lively, exciting and adventurous.
