This is a good day for some hot blues-- as the snow melts-- it's beautiful today, head to the library on foot for some blues that will warm you up from the inside, also.
Here's from Leana Donofrio-Milovan's article in this week's Observer:
Austin “Walkin’ Cane” ladles up a hot blues gumbo seasoned with jazz, folk and rock ’n’ roll at 2 p.m. on Sunday, February 10 in the Main Library Auditorium. These are the Delta blues, served over slide guitar with a side of baritone vocals. Classic songs mix with originals inspired by a meal shared with Robert Lockwood Jr. where “the stories flowed like grease off our plates.”
Austin "Walkin' Cane" Charanghat, who acquired his nickname while jamming on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, has won accolades from the Cleveland Free Times and Scene Magazine, and has performed his slide guitar rhythms with the best of the best across the country. When they say the Blues is in the blood they are referring to Cane, who was even married at the legendary Sun Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Immediately following the reception he began work recording his CD.
