Bob Payne
Well, folks, I am currently cruising the beautiful blue waters of the Bahamas. Its 80 degrees, the sun is shining, and I am preparing to go down a 180-foot water slide. I would say that I am sorely missing Chattanooga right now, but alas, I cannot lie. Stay tuned for a report on the cruise ship music scene.
Being the consummate professional I am, I prepared much of this column in advance, so that you, the reader, would still have your entire week made good by having this column to read. If nothing else, I am modest.
We went down to T-Bones a couple weeks ago and caught a show by the band Too Far Gone South. As I have mentioned previously, Chad Danner has been bringing in talent new to T-Bones. Two members of SRO band joined us, also out to hear some music.
Too Far Gone South bills themselves as an experimental/rock/jam band. That description works. I thought they sounded a bit like the early Allman Brothers on their instrumentals. They are a four piece band, with Kolby Towe on guitar, Robby Miller on keys, Dougie Whitaker on drums, and Cameron Towe on bass guitar. We enjoyed the show and they will be back at T-Bones this Friday. You can hear samples, view their schedule and more at click here.
Bob’s pick-o-the-week-end is Tim Hughes Quartet, playing at Blue Orleans Creole Restaurant, on Amnicola Highway, Friday, April 3.
Bob’s pick-o-the-week is The Ben Friberg Jazz Trio at Market Street Tavern on Wednesday, and Table 2 on Tuesday.
The weather is turning great and the outdoor festivals are coming! One of the first, the inaugural Keel Family function will be at Cherokee Farms in Lafayette on April 3-4. Here is the link for a listing of the bands and info link.
Last weekend, we went to The Comedy Catch to see master hypnotist Gary Conrad. Oh, what a show! We have fun every time we go and The Comedy Catch is recognized as being one of the top clubs in the USA. For a “don’t-miss” show, see Gary Conrad when he returns, or try any of the fine comics the club has each week.
