(St. Louis-Style Rhythm & Blues Revue)
Saturday, October
26@Harvelle's/Santa Monica
"The packed club was in good
hands, as a diverse audience came together to be inspired and entertained. Band
leader Larry "Fuzzy" Knight had a classic, fun, and positive approach, and every
pro on the stand was clearly in love with the craft. Blowin Smoke conveys a
welcome reminder to all people with a beating heart that putting a horn section
in front of a smoking rhythm section, then layering three powerful and
charismatic vocalists on top of that - all live and at the same time - is music
at its most enriching." MUSIC CONNECTION, September 2013

Read a great live review on Blowin' Smoke and the Fabulous Smokettes that just ran in the September issue of Music Connection here: http://www.musicconnection.com/CompleteIssuePDFs/MCSept2013.pdf
Music Connection reviewer Tim Reid Jr. goes on to say, "(bandleader Fuzzy) Knight must know a thing or two about putting the right pieces in place to make a show, as he has done in this case. Even with a couple of subs in the horn section, the clear fact is that Knight is going to present true professionals whenever Blowin' Smoke takes the stand. Knight himself is a quality bass player and bluesy singer with an almost grittier Randy Newman kind of sound. The Fabulous Smokettes live up to their name - working the harmonies and each singer knowing how to take the spotlight when it hits. "Fuzzy" Knight reminds all of us in the modern technological era that real people with real instruments and real personalities playing music that hits the gut and forces the knees to bend...it makes one happy to be alive and in the community of other living people."

"Cross Soul Train with American Bandstand and you get a good
idea
of what a Blowin' Smoke Rhythm & Blues Revue show is
like!"
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
