ROCK N' BLUES FEST

Description

It's time for the Rock N' Blues Fest in Plymouth, NH! This year's line-up: Eric Sardinas, Joe Louis Walker, and Dana Fuchs. 3 bands..1 night only! Dana Fuchs All Dana Fuchs has to do is sing. All it takes is one note from those celebrated lips and clocks stop, crowds snap to attention, hearts beat like bass drums and neck-hair tingles. It?s often been said that the Florida-born front-woman could sing the phone directory and still hold her listeners spellbound. From the big screen in Across The Universe, to the Broadway stage performing as Janis Joplin; Dana has earned her place as a blues star and now she is making her way to the Monkey! Joe Louis Walker Walker picked up the guitar as a child, and by the time he was 16 was regularly backing touring blues artists rolling through town. As a teenager he was the house guitarist at San Francisco?s famed musical playground, The Matrix, where he played with or opened shows for everyone from Lightnin? Hopkins to Jimi Hendrix to Thelonious Monk. The blues legends Walker accompanied shared not only musical knowledge but also their personal wisdom with the up-and-comer. Inspired by what he learned, Walker developed his own fiery, melodic, and always unpredictable guitar attack. Eric Sardinas This American blues-rock slide guitarist is noted for his use of the electric resonator guitar and his live performances which sometimes get so intense he sets his guitar alight on stage! Sardinas began to play the guitar at age six and leaned toward vintage recordings by such Delta bluesmen as Charlie Patton and Muddy Waters. Although he was left-handed, he eventually started to play right-handed. He signed to Steve Vai's Favored Nations record label and was the opening act for Vai's The Real Illusions Tour 2005 around the world.
