GREAT BIG ROCK JAM REPORT – JANUARY 5, 2013

Happy New Year to all of you, and I'd like to send out birthday greetings to NL singer Phoebe Holloway, and Ottawa's Pete Beaudoin of Sherry Harding and the Heat and Freddy Carriere of Firebelly.

Local alternative rock band Vegas Lounge Lizard is gearing up to release its debut EP, and you can help them out by pre-ordering a copy of it.  The release date will be sometime in February, but the exact date will be determined by the number of pre-orders.  You can pay what you like, but the minimum fee is a measly five bucks.  You can listen to their music at Soundcloud.com and contact them via their Vegas Lounge Lizard Facebook page.  They also have a YouTube video that was recorded here at CHMR.

Another St. John’s alt- rock band, Waterfront Fire, formed from Apollo Rock and Owls in the Rafter, released a self-titled CD in 2012.  Comprised of guitarists Andrew Boyd, Ben Thistle, drummer Ryan Tobin, bass guitarist Brandon Young, and keyboardist Sean Jessome, the band is currently looking for a vocalist to replace Josh Cluett, who moved away in August.  You can check out Waterfront Fire on Soundcloud as well as Myspace.

Clarenville-based Jessa Rae Strong is a 17-year-old guitarist/keyboardist/vocalist who is looking to join or form a band.  I checked out her YouTube videos and, she really is quite good.  I’m sure she is looking at a good future in the music business, even as a solo act.

I’d like to belatedly congratulate the winners of the MusicNL/Statoil Christmas Songwriting Contest for young musicians across this province.  The first-place winner was 16-year-old Kat McLevey, for her song, “Winter Shows Me”, second place went to 18-year-old Brianna Gosse for “My Christmas Song for You”, and 19-year-old Pete Mills took third place for “Xmas Together”.

Terry Parsons, CHMR host of “Blind Lemon Blues”, “Cosmic Debris”, “Sunday Morning Hangover Cure” and “The Songwriters”, is celebrating his birthday tomorrow, January 6, so be sure to look him up on Facebook and send him a greeting.  Better yet, tune in to any and all of his long-running shows on this station, particularly this Monday, January 6, when he will announcing the Top 20 Canadian Blues Albums, as voted on by his listeners and tabulated by Terry.

California’s Val Starr & The Blues Rocket released its first CD in 2012, entitled Cool Ride, and it is available at all of the usual music download portals.  The band’s second CD, Blues Away, is in pre-production and will be available in the spring of 2013.

A used record store owner in Pittsburgh apparently bought a box of old attic-stored records for $50, only to discover that one of the vinyl ’78s was Robert Johnson’s 1936 Vocalian recording of “I Believe I’ll Dust My Broom”.  I thought that was an Elmore James tune, but whatever.  It’s quoted as being worth anywhere from $6,000-12,000.  Johnson, reputed to have sold his soul to the devil at a rural Mississippi crossroads, died in 1938 at the age of 27.

Steve Clark, who has replaced Geoff Goodhusband as the host of the 9OclockRock series, happening from 9-11 p.m., Thursdays, at The Levee, has posted the schedule of entertainers for the remaining weeks of Jan., as follows:  January 10 – Matthew Hare and The Rolling Kings; January 17 – Stephen Green & Adam Baxter; January 24 – Brad Jefford Trio and The Skylarks; and January 31 – Erin Simms and Magnetar.  Stay tuned for more tunes.

D.D.’s BLUE NOTES – JANUARY 5, 2013

In Ottawa music news, Ian Boyd, of Compact Disc music store, advises that there will be new CDs/vinyl from The Fiftymen, The Hilotrons, Lynn Miles, and Riot Police, all before the end of March.

Toronto musician and radio show host Danny Marks is very pleased to have won for the 2012 “Best Electric Blues CD” vote by Wasser-Prawda music magazine in Germany for his latest release, A Good Friend in the Blues.

Toronto-based Blues Element's new album has been overly-delayed, partly due to a consignment deal that went sour.  Vocalist and co-songwriter Jamie Browning had decided to sell off her vintage costumes from her days as the frontwoman for Toronto punk band Daphne’s Purple Closet in order to finance the new Blues Element CD.  However, the consignment shop owner, Eva by name, is refusing to return any unsold garments and has not reimbursed Jamie for any of her items that were already purchased.  Buyer (and seller) beware – dishonest people are out there, everywhere.

Dylan Wickens & The Grand Naturals are also trying to finance the production of their newest CD, entitled Love & Lust.  They have a fundraising campaign on the go at Indiegogo.com.  Depending on the amount of your donation, you could conceivably obtain an autographed copy of the CD, have your name listed on the album credits, be added to the guest list for any live performances by the band throughout 2013, have an intimate one-hour concert by the band at your home, and/or receive an autographed instrument that was used in the production of the CD.  For more information, visit indiegogo.com/dylanwickens.

Brad Curtis of Vancouver’s Some X Six Band tells me that The Hoodoo Shake CD was picked by The Blues Underground as "Most Unique and Original Album Of The Year 2012” for the Editor’s Choice Award – well done, lads.

Debby White, owner of 99 Matrix Records and sweetTmusic in Nashville, TN, reports that her roster artists Keith Youngster, with his “Superman” single, and Van Preston, with her single, “My Heart Craves Him”, will both be featured in upcoming issues of Europe's Maverick Magazine and will be featured in the Covermount CD, to be released in Europe, this month and next.

If you’re a blues music junkie who enjoys taking in the festival circuit year-round, the 7^th annual Boquete Jazz and Blues Festival takes place in Boquete, Panama, from Feb. 28 to Mar. 3, 2013.  The line-up of performers hasn’t been finalized yet, but on the bill so far are Chicago’s Tail Dragger (a.k.a. James Yancy Jones) and Bob Corritore, Panamanian saxophonist Carlos Ubarte, The Randy Oxford Band, out of Seattle, WA, The Rigoberto Coba of David, Chiriqui, Boquete, and his 18-piece big band, California’s Ron Hacker & The Hacksaws, Venezuelan Jazz Diva Maria Rivas & Band, the Royal J’s from New Orleans, and, of course, the one and only Boquete Blues Band B3.
