The Browntones concept was the brainchild of Dallas bluesmen Brian "Hash Brown" Calway and Shawn Pittman in 1998. The basic idea was to put together a band to play harp driven blues. Pittman subsequently moved to Austin, but the Browntones concept was kept afloat by Hash Brown using different musicians. Money problems meant that there was a hiatus after the first recording session in June 2000, but fortunately things picked up, allowing things to be completed in May 2002, albeit using another version of the Browntones. The end result is "Have Some Fun!"%0A%0AThe album opens nicely with "Blues for April Green," which defines the style of the Browntones. There are subtle shades of SRV, Fab T-birds, and maybe even a little early Bluesbreakers about the way they play. It all fits nicely together, with Brown leading from the front on harp and vocals. The band then shift up a gear for the first swamp blues influenced number, "Ain't No Way." The second, "Hot Dog," is a risque blues with shades of Slim Harpo in the harp playing.%0A%0AFor someone who is best known as a guitarist, Brown is a more than capable harp player. On "Celluphone Blues," for example, which chugs along neatly, his playing calls to mind the great Snooky Pryor. He also plays chromatic harp on "The Woman I Love," which has a nice walking bass line, courtesy of John Bradley. The harp also combines surprisingly well with Elliott Sowell's guitar on the T-Bone Walker style "Poultry Queen Boogie."%0A%0AIn addition to the eight original tunes, there are five covers, starting with Sam Myers ("I've Got The Blues"), and ranging through to "Muskadine Blues," one of Little Walter's first recorded tracks. The latter precedes the closing track, "Hey Little Baby," where the Browntones are reduced to the duo of Jon Moeller (guitar) and Hash Brown. It is a more down home blues tune, and it is easy to imagine this as a call-and-response song in a live show.%0A%0A"Have Some Fun!" certainly achieves its aim: it sounds like the band had fun recording it, and it certainly makes for pleasurable listening. There are no real great surprises here, with a familiar feel to many of the songs, all of which are all performed well. Even though two different line-ups were used during recording, you would be hard pushed to identify which songs came from which session. "Have Some Fun!" should appeal to blues lovers everywhere–particularly fans of Texas blues–and shows that there is still plenty of life in the old dog yet.

11. Sand And Stone - 3:56

Bevington has surrounded himself with some of the most talented individuals there is. Jim (FM) Kirkpatrick, is a wonderful guitarist and along with Scott Ralph he has crafted these tunes, ensuring the laid back “Bad, Bad Bad” has some summery, Clapton-esque vibes, and “Already Got The Blues” has a timeless air. You can imagine the bar-staff clearing up around them as it plays at the end of the night.
“The Blues Is Everywhere I Go” sees the vocal duties fall on Kate Robertson and Sarah Miller and they do a wonderful job, and a mark of the breadth of the material here is “Deep River” which has a big old riff to go with its huge dollop of soul.
Indeed, there is a real feel on this of anything goes. There’s people who like bands to have a “sound” and there is people – like me – who like the approach of a strand or two running through, but all kinds of different turns. To that end “I Got Time” is right from the New Jersey Boardwalk, and the one that follows, “It Was Over”, is from the more gritty Danny Bryant type of British Blues (albeit with the horn section).
“Heaven Above” is built on two things. First a harmonica lick (I assume from Ralph?) and a guitar riff that sounds like it’s going to turn into Aerosmith’s “Walk This Way” at any time.
More than anything, though, this is just a fun record. Underlined by “What Did I Drink Last Night?” (being tee-total I have no sympathy with any of them…..) but a particularly classy one too, as the ballad “Home Sweet Home” makes clear.
The title track is the last one here, and it is one of the most important. Ostensibly a delta blues type song, a work song from the southern belt, it deals with a mining disaster that befell the Sneyd Colliery in 1942 in Bevington’s home town of Stoke on Trent, it is confident end to a mighty fine record.

At age nineteen, Duke Robillard recruited Greg as one of the earliest members of what became the Rhode Island based powerhouse, Roomful of Blues. The unifying magnet within the group in its early years, 1969 -1971, was focus on the rootsy, retro, danceable, swing sound of the ‘40s and ‘50s. This “new” sound to teenage ears and the recall of this music to the older folks, filled dance floors all over the band’s New England home-base and eventually on the global stage.
For the next twenty-four years, Greg Piccolo had amazing experiences playing with and/or recording with such music legends as Big Joe Turner, Earl King, Eddie “Cleanhead” Vinson”, Pat Benetar, Red Prysock, Stevie Ray Vaughan, to mention only a few.
As Roomful players would come and go, Greg’s twenty-five year contribution evolved to lead singer and bandleader, all the while being noticed world-wide for his signature “fat” tenor sound, unique sax style, and distinguishable vocals.
After nearly twenty-five years with Roomful of Blues, Greg sensed a calling to go back to his roots and develop his “heavy juice” sound. This “less is more” approach gave him the freedom to cover the gamut of his musical longings, which include traditional jazz, r & b, and rock’n roll. He had compiled a well of songs which demanded their own arrangements and band configurations outside of the classic “Roomful sound.” In 1994 he stepped away and officially formed his own band, Heavy Juice, which led to his first solo release, self-titled, “Greg Piccolo Heavy Juice,” on the legendary Louisiana-based Black Top label.
Following were two releases, Red Lights and Acid Blue, on the famous California-based Fantasy Label (now Concord), and his first all instrumental tenor sax release titled “Homage” on the Pennsylvania-based Emit Doog label. His most recent release, “Who Did This?” is a tribute to his favorite sax recordings and includes an original recorded tenor instrumental.Now at seventy years of age, Greg Piccolo is still practicing his horn every day, writing his own material, and traveling the world with Heavy Juice. Piccolo is an example of someone who has always played from his heart (https://www.gregpiccolo.com/bio).

Ron Beer – Singer/Songwriter, Author and Martial Artist.
Ron Beer’s newest musical installment, Boogie Boy Blues, is a music CD loosely based on his experiences in 1974 when he hitch-hiked across Canada with his guitar on his back. Due to his authorship, Boogie Boy Blues is now a music CD turned children’s graphic novel that teaches children about the craft of songwriting.
A three-year veteran of the Humber Summer Songwriting workshops, Ron has given back by sharing his knowledge of songwriting by hosting the Songwriters’ Music Festival. This event, hosted at the Whitby Courthouse Theatre, raised funds to help supply musical instruments to a children’s music program. His ability and desire to teach did not stop there as Ron continues to teach his music program in York Region to grades four through eight.
In addition to his successful and ever-evolving musical career, Ron Beer is also an established and highly recognized marital artist. Since 1978, Ron has owned and operated his martial arts studio in Markham, Ontario. In that time, he has hosted, scripted and scored for shows such as ‘Karate Kids’ on Classic Communications in York Region, and ‘The Martial Arts’ on Mclean-Hunter Television.
Ron is an artist, and a true artist has the ability to mold, fuse and professionally combine different forms of art. Though combining singing and songwriting, literary authoring and martial arts, Ron Beer has the trifecta of artistry.
Both the album project and its final result come from Ron Beers and Lou Sabatini hard work They are two Canadian composers who, since the moment they met till now, have written together more than a one hundred and twenty songs They have selected ten to be included in this album, that is their first joint project that sees the light in compact disc format, as they have been working together for several years Somebody Help Me! shows the talent of these two poets, who drive us along a journey through their particular visionary world Besides Ron Beer, you will also find Paul Schofield on sax, flute and clarinet, Steve Didunyk on keyboards and accordion, Mike Tabaras on lead guitar, George Danes on trumpet, Alex Paris on bass, John Maydehm on drums, David Figliano, on congas and percussion and Jay & Mike Olsen on vocals A cool pleasant album, including a wide range of tempos and arrangements, that could be described as flavoured groovy-blues/

With Benefits is the upcoming second album from Ohio’s favorite outlaw lounge band, Change It Up Charlie… and for this album the band brought some friends along for the ride.
We are bringing you, (you lucky so and so) a new album featuring some new songs, some updated old songs, covers and classics, all now with some musical help from their friends…with benefits.
The idea behind With Benefits was to do an album where a few songs feature friends of Change It Up Charlie from the Columbus music scene to guest spot and show off a bit. These musical collaborations include a mix of our usual pop remakes and jump blues and hot jazz originals. Who is Change It Up Charlie you ask? CIUC is a 5 piece ensemble That originated in 2008 with string bass player, the devilishly provocative Thom Reed. Steaming up the room and tickling your eardrums is the bewitching lead vocalist Holly Schmitt. The man with the magic fingers on lead guitar is the always cool “Peppermint” Bob Hamilton. The youngest member of the band, bringing the back beat with a smile, the drumming phenom Brandon Pettiford. And the bands news member, this guy blows, it the best way possible… bringing the saxy back, the ever charming Alan Stull.  Thank you! ~  Change It Up Charlie/

Leslie Ann Knight is the host of the “Monday Morning Blues” program on KKUP-FM, in Cupertino California, and as of late, she has been responsible for a number of west coast blues getting their message to the rest of the United States. Richie Barron is one of those performers.
Richie is a strong guitarist and he has the right attitude. His music is hard-hitting in the Oakland tradition, but it still has a certain tongue-in-cheek quality which makes it very easy to listen to. This delivery is tried and true, and it’s bound to make a lasting impression on blues lovers everywhere.He’s enlisted the talents of some great California bluesmen, including the legendary Freddy Roulette, the man more responsible than anyone else for bringing the lap steel into the blues idiom.A couple of decades back, Otis Rush made the statement “…give me my flowers now.” It appears Richie Barron is making a similar statement with his current offering, “…I’d rather have green than blue.” Me too!
Guitar slinger Richie Barron began his career as vocalist and guitarist with Junior Walker, toured with ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard and cut his blues teeth in clubs from Dallas to Chicago before moving to Marin County to record a CD with Buddy Miles (Electric Flag & Jimi Hendrix's Band of Gypsies) and Michael Carabello (Santana Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Famer). His band is hard-hitting in the Oakland tradition with a horn section, powerful vocals and features Billy Noteman, one of the finest Blues Harmonica players in the world. Richie's original jump blues songs have been featured on the nationally syndicated show House of Blues Radio as well as his interviews by Blues Brother, Elwood Blues (aka Dan Aykroyd).

With a range of talent spanning several decades, these musicians are focused on delivering modern blues and soul music with a nod to the past.

Rush Cleveland–aka “Barry Schneiderman”–was born and raised in Cedar Falls, Iowa. His musical career began after he completed his service in the Marine Corps in 1968. His attention turned to the blues in the early 70s after being influenced by the recordings of B.B. King. A few years later his band, which included Molly Nova, was hired by Bob Dorr. Together these musicians went on to form The Little Red Rooster Band.
In the 80s Rush toured Oklahoma with Blues on the Move including band leader DC Minner. With Vern and the Roadhogs and Denny Garcia, he toured Wisconsin and other states. In 1996, Rush traveled to the Smithsonian Institute with Louis McTizic. They were representatives in the Iowa Sesquicentennial delegation at the two-week Smithsonian Folklife Festival. He also continued with Louis’s band until his death. During this time, he also played with RNB Supply Band, and then formed No Control Blues Band.
In 2013 drummer Will Quegg and bassist Gordon Sawkey joined Rush to form the current version of the Rush Cleveland Trio. The group has spent the last decade touring Iowa and surrounding states, only taking breaks for Rush’s winter trips to play solo gigs in the warm southwest.
Throughout his 50+ year career Rush has produced over 40 recordings. He has opened for the likes of The Nighthawks, Commander Cody, Gatemouth Brown, Bryan Lee and Luther Allison. He has had the privilege of playing alongside Iowa Blues Hall of Famers Bob Dorr, Jeff Peterson, Joe & Vicki Price, Tom Giblin, Louis McTizic, Bunky Marlow and tonight’s fellow inductee Molly Nova.

In 1992, the Central Iowa Blues Society (CIBS) was founded by Des Moines native, Mr. Tom Gary, also affectionately know as “The Blues Professor.” Tom also founded the Iowa Blues Hall of Fame in 1999, which became a program of CIBS. Tom, who passed in May of 2019, left a wonderful legacy to Blues music by tracing its rich, historical roots through those who brought this genre to central Iowa.
His academic credentials consisted of teaching degrees related to art and history; both of which he actively taught at Buena Vista University, Grandview University, and Des Moines Catholic Schools.
Tom wrote his Master Thesis at Iowa State University entitled The Rise and Fall of Center Street 1945-1972, which contains the profound history and cultural contributions of local Afro American residents who were the unquestionable progenitors, introducing both Blues music and its “kissing cousin” Jazz to central Iowa. Center Street was ground zero for Delta Music, and in some respects, Des Moines’ own “Beale Street.”
Tom’s credentials, as a musician, consisted of locally performing as a trained keyboardist who founded the decades old Thursday Night Blues Jam located at 1501 Grand Ave. This venue continued through three different owners and three different names: The Grand Avenue Lounge, The Grand, and lastly, Blues on Grand. He also hosted the open jam at the Hull Avenue Tavern, Des Moines’ oldest bar.
He was an active musician in The Tom Gary Blues Band, Bad Boys of the Blues, and The Backstage Boogie Band. Tom also performed with countless local musicians, many who are inductees into the Iowa Blues Hall of Fame.

ARMANO presents his first full-length studio album, I HATE TO LEAVE: an intense mix of blues, country, and Americana that brings the sound of the American South directly to Bamberg. Supported by Andreas Arneth (bass) and Jens Kussmann (drums), the CD features eleven original compositions plus two live favorites: Old Time Rider and Katie. After several EPs, international tours, and support slots for artists such as Jake La Botz, Bob Wayne, and Scott H. Biram, ARMANO is now ready for the next big step.
