| Erich Goebel |
If
you have never been to a Detroit Blues Society Meeting and Jam, do yourself a
favor and check out the event at 9 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 12, at Bachelors One,
1967 Cass Lake Road in Keego Harbor.
The monthly events are
short on meeting and long on jams.
This month’s host band is
Erich Goebel and the Flying Crowbars. Goebel is a fantastic guitarist and
singer. He’ll be joined Saturday by bassist Chris Rumel and drummer Dave Watson.
They will open the evening with a set of music, then turn the stage over to
jammers. Traditionally, some of Detroit’s top performers make it out to the jam
to share music and friendship. It’s a great way to see lots of different
performers and there’s no cover charge.
Bluesin’ Flint
The next event in a concert
series organized by musician Greg Nagy is at 7 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 13, at Scooter’s
Bar and Grill in Flint.
George Bedard and the
Kingpins are this month’s featured performers. Bedard is a rockabilly guitarist
who has been a seminal figure on the Michigan roots rock scene for more than 20
years.
The event will also
feature Nagy, Laura Rain and The Caesars, and more.
Steve Nardella is up next
in the series, performing on Nov. 17.
Acoustic blues
The next Attic Dwellers acoustic circle
jam session is from 1-5 p.m. Sunday, Oct, 13, at Paycheck’s Lounge in Hamtramck
(1 to 5 p.m.). Beginners as well as seasoned musicians will enjoy themselves
at the free event. You can go and just listen too.
Midweek nirvana
Looking for something to
do midweek?
Three awesome choices are
available next week.
At 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday,
Oct. 16, legendary R&B/funk guitarist Dennis Coffey performs at the Blues
and Jazz Series at the Southfield Public Library. Coffey is perhaps best known
for his work with Motown’s Funk Brothers, and added unique rockin’ guitar sounds
on recordings such as Temptations’ hits “Cloud Nine” and “Psychedelic Shack,”
Edwin Starr’s “War,” and Freda Payne’s “Band of Gold,” among many, many others.
Coffey also had
instrumental hits, including “Scorpio” and “Taurus,” as a solo artist.
Also on Wednesday, Oct.
16, blues guitar great Coco Montoya takes the stage at Callahan’s Music Hall in
Auburn Hills.
Callahan’s hosts legendary
British bluesman John Mayall on Thursday, Oct. 17. Over the years, Mayall’s
groups have included guitarists including Eric Clapton, Peter Green of
Fleetwood Mac, and Mick Taylor of the Rolling Stones.
