"Cross Soul Train with American Bandstand and you get a good idea
of what a Blowin' Smoke Rhythm & Blues Revue show is like!"
(SANTA MONICA, Calif.) - Take the legendary TV show Soul Train and cross it with Dick Clark's very-hip-in-its time American Bandstand and you get a good idea of what a Blowin' Smoke Rhythm & Blues Revue
show is like. That is, a packed dance floor full of sweaty souls
enjoying themselves more than should be allowed by law! :-) Hence the
band's 'warning/disclaimer:' "Seeing and listening to Blowin' Smoke live will cause permanent joy and happiness to occur during and after performances."
Come see what all the fuss is about and catch the acclaimed longtime eleven-piece R&B/Blues/Soul ensemble in concert at Harvelle's, 1432 4th St., Santa Monica, Saturday night, February 23. 9 pm-2 am. $10. Info: (310) 395-1676 or http://santamonica.harvelles.com/.
For
nearly two decades, Blues/R&B/Soul group Blowin' Smoke has been one
of the most in-demand, successful bands on the Southern California live
music circuit. Front and center in Blowin' Smoke is its creator,
bandleader/bassist/vocalist, Larry "Fuzzy" Knight
- whose impressive musical resume' includes a decade-plus stint as
bassist for one of the great SoCal bands to emerge from the psychedelic
era of the Sixties, Spirit. Knight has also recently launched a new
band project, Sky King, featuring some top-name musicians, all the while
keeping Blowin' Smoke going strong.
In a recent review of the band's Beyond the Blues Horizon CD, BMans Blues Report
writes, 'lead vocalist and bass player Larry 'Fuzzy' Knight delivers
the goods..."C.O.D." is a hot R&B track featuring Michael Murphy on
Hammond and Jimmy Delgado rippin' a great lead guitar...this is the kind
of recording you can put on while you're working and driving and it
will make the day fly...great tracks, great instrumentation, great
vocals and great energy." In another review of the same album, the L.A. Music Examiner
states, "this eleven-person act emphasizes electric rhythm and blues
with a touch of funk, rock, and Southern soul...the Fabulous Smokettes
are a tuneful trio of ladies."
Here's the Blowin' Smoke Rhythm And
Blues Band performing Aretha Franklin's "Won't Be Long" recently at
Harvelle's/Santa Monica.
