This Week's Reader Favorite Post

Opening with Lint Redux , you are immediately in the middle of a swampy blues with modern effects. With a firm foot stomp by Felix Pollard on drums and Vic Jackson on bass Russ Green on harmonica and vocals really has the earthy feel. Giles Corey on slide gives the track great grease and Green's harp work is strong. Excellent opener. 12 Feet of Water opens with a terrific harmonica aria before grinding into a super drum driven romp. With the feel that I can only describe as Hill Country , Green delivers such soulful vocals, comforted by Joe Monroe on keys, this track just grabs you. Green's harmonica is like a shuddering wind blowing through you with the thumping bass of Vic Jackson and Vince Agwada on guitar. Excellent!

I started a quest to find terrific blues music and incredible musicianship when I was just a little kid. I also have a tremendous appreciation of fine musical instruments and equipment. One of my greatest joys all of my life was sharing my finds with my friends. I'm now publishing my journey. I hope that you come along!

All Hell Breaks Loose! At The Bliss 525 Jam Hosted By New Blues Revolution <<<<This Sunday, July 1 - 2:30 pm to 7 p.m. >>>>
(Long Beach, CA) - Gig after gig and week after week, the group known as New Blues Revolution continues to earn their growing reputation as one of SoCal's Hardest-Working Bands. They suit up, show up, and lay waste (musically speaking, of course!) to each and every club, room, or dance hall they perform at....and, at the end of the night, those in attendance literally have to be carried out from having danced to the band's music so much!
New Blues Revolution stand in for regular hosts Johnny Mastro and Mama's Boys at the always-lively Sunday Blues Jam at Bliss 525, 525 E. Broadway, Long Beach, this Sunday, July 1. 2:30-7 p.m. Free. Info: (562) 495-7252 or https://www.facebook.com/BLISS525.

Vocalist-frontman Bill Grisolia (l) and guitarist Chap Cooper (r) of New Blues Revolution. The band is nominated in "Musical Act of the Year" category for the 2012 LA Music Awards.
The New Blues Revolution (NBR) are on a righteous mission to bring their tasty high-energy musical hybrid of blues, rock, jazz and soul to Southern California's finer live music establishments as well as the rest of the United States and beyond.
The band is especially supportive of benefits and charities, with a show at the Freedom Coalition Festival in Irvine Lakes on July 21. Full NBR itinerary found below.
"What we witnessed was brilliant," wrote B. Noel Barr of Random Lengths Newspaper in a recent review of the band's House of Blues show. "The New Blues Revolution songs spoke to the listeners with authenticity...overall the group has the chops to get a crowd going and set the tone at any venue. They have the ability to go well beyond the boundaries of the greater Los Angeles area. (Front person Bill) Grisolia is great to watch. He works the stage like a playful tiger. You never know where he is going to take you..."
