Blues In the Round - 5th Annual Acoustic Blues Fest
Caffe Lena
Saratoga Springs, NY
Whether you like your blues straight from the true vine, or whether you hunger for fresh branches on the tree, you'll relish this high caliber in-the-round song swap by the area's finest practioners of acoustic blues.
With a solid beat of finger-picking, foot stomping, ringing slide-guitar, rock solid percussion, and a powerful vocal attack, Saratoga Springs duo Mark Tolstrup and Dale Haskell reprise the authentic sounds of the American landscape, from New Orleans to Tin Pan Alley.
Albany's Tas Cru does Mississippi Delta blues on resonator guitar. He's a master of the double entendre, adding dark sparkle to every song. He's a regular at the famed Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale, Mississippi and has represented the Northeast Blues Society at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis. Tas is a smart and seasoned bluesman who knows how to entertain.
Phil Drum is a fingerpicking bluesman and founder of the Saratoga Acoustic Blues Society. Music has been a lifelong pursuit for him. From a tour with the Coasters in 1972, to more recent ventures with Bluesology and the Mojo Filters, Phil has kept his chops in good working order. Tonight he'll focus on the oldtime blues of Blind Blake and Robert Johnson.
