"Spent A Blue Day" (2026) is a solo album by independent American blues-rock guitarist, singer, and songwriter Andy Lindquist, known for his impressive productivity and commitment to a rooted American sound. The album continues Lindquist's signature style of raw, sincere, and guitar-centric blues. The album's title ("Spent A Blue Day") sets the tone for the entire work, immersing the listener in a classic blues aesthetic of melancholy and reflection. The focus is on Lindquist's expressive guitar work, from dense electric riffs and emotional solos to slide arrangements. The album's sound is distinctly lively and organic, without being overloaded with modern electronic effects. The lyrics and vocal intonations convey spiritual weariness, nostalgia, and an attempt to understand inner experiences through the prism of music. Andy's vocals are soulful, raspy, and narrative, perfectly complemented by bluesy harmonies. Fans of classic guitar-driven blues rock (in the vein of Gary Moore, Joe Bonamassa, or the classic Chicago and Delta blues schools) will find a traditional structure and a strong emphasis on masterful execution.

All New Album featuring Gerry McAvoy and Brendan O’Neill of Rory Gallagher and Band of Friends.
Whether playing acoustic, mandolin, national steel, or screaming electric guitar, Davy Knowles has an unmistakable style.
Since bursting on to the scene with his band Back Door Slam’s critically acclaimed album ‘Roll Away’ in 2007 (“I heard the spirit of Jimi Hendrix” Patrick McDonald - Seattle Times),  Davy’s star has only risen. His sophomore release ‘Coming Up For Air’ was produced by the legendary Peter Frampton (“Davy already has a recognizable style. He’s definitely the gunslinger guitarist of the 21st century,’’- Peter Frampton), with subsequent tours seeing him supporting and sharing the stage with acts such as Jeff Beck, The Who, Joe Bonamassa, Kid Rock, Lynyrd Skynyrd, George Thorogood, Brian Setzer, the Sammy Hagar-fronted supergroup Chickenfoot, and guitar hero Joe Satriani who called Davy “My favorite modern Bluesman”. 
Knowles has several top-5 Billboard Blues charting albums under his belt, high profile TV appearances (Jimmy Kimmel Live and CBS Good Morning America among others), and has been praised with high accolades from heroes and press alike - but it’s not just the music industry who has taken note. Knowles was also the very first artist in history to perform live to the International Space Station directly from mission control in Houston TX, and has had his music taken to the Space Station by two astronauts, Nicole Stott and Ron Garan, on their respective missions orbiting Earth. 
Never one to be satisfied or to sit still, Knowles has explored multiple genres and styles, from the hard-hitting 70’s classic rock influenced album ‘Three Miles From Avalon’, to the haunting acoustic delta blues of ‘1932’, and the sweet, soul-searching folk of 2023’s ‘If I Should Wander’.  
Whether spending an evening onstage armed with just an acoustic guitar, or wielding his well worn and trusty Telecaster while fronting his blues/rock trio - and at any point in between the two - Davy Knowles is one of the most versatile and formidable songwriters, vocalists and musicians in the world today. A true artist in every sense of the word. 
Davy Proudly endorses Jim Dunlop strings, picks and accessories.

A tribute to the music of Ray Charles, this CD is jazz, r&b, blues and just plain feels good.Pianist/vocalist Eric Byrd leads a busy musical life with his group, working out of the Washington, D.C. area and representing the United States as a jazz ambassador at The Kennedy Center, as well as in South and Central American nations. With the release of Maceo Parker's tribute to Ray Charles Roots and Grooves (Heads Up, 2007) one would wonder just how much closer anyone could get to replicating the spirit of Charles. Parker not only plays but sings in a vital manner that is very close the late Charles' persona. Byrd has several things working for him. His trio is augmented by four horns in order to duplicate Charles' classic Atlantic sound during the 1950s; and Byrd, himself, provides the arrangements that are an essential part of this album. Beginning with the classic Theard/Moore tune, "Let the Good Times Roll," which first became a signatory tune for Louis Jordan and then in 1960 for Charles, Byrd uses it as a springboard to establish the rollicking groove, and to introduce the horns by having each take a brief solo. Tenor saxophonist Paul Carr, signaled out on his own Musically Yours (PCJE, 2008), provides a wonderfully distilled solo. In addition, trumpeter Brad Clements, altoist Lyle Link and baritone saxman Chris Watling do more than a fair job of conjuring up the spirit of David "Fathead" Newman, Hank Crawford, Marcus Belgrave and Leroy Cooper. Link's simpatico flute work on a few tunes is strongly redolent of "Fathead.."  As a pianist, Byrd is quite effective in this setting. On the mid-tempo "Them That Got," from the Charles songbook, and Alfred's "I've Got News for You," Byrd nails the blues accompaniment, giving the impression that Junior Mance or Ray Bryamt had sneaked into the studio. As a vocalist, Byrd is an entirely different matter. While Maceo Parker emulates Ray Charles to a tee, Byrd is not an impressionist. His vocal range is naturally higher and his delivery is that of a sweet albeit very soulful vocalist. Yet when he sings Titus Turner's "Get on the Right Track Baby," a vintage mid-1950s Charles staple (and one that has rarely been included on Charles tributes), his vocal is perfect for the setting.  On other tunes like Joe Greene's "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying" and Warfield/Williams' "Baby Won't You Please Come Home," the vocal is effective but in no way specifically linked to any Ray Charles version. For the classic Johnny Mercer song, "Baby, It's Cold Outside," Byrd's duet with Lea Gilmore misses the sugar and vinegar style of Betty Carter and Ray Charles, though on any other album, it would be fine. Gilmore is also featured on the lesser-known "Watch Them Dogs," a full-tilt Charles presentation.

This CD is deciated to the memory of Bosko Petrovic.
Blues, soul and rock’ n’ roll are the key words to describe Mike Sponza, guitarist, singer and composer, on the European blues panorama since early 90’s. A lifetime commitment to develop a personal style, contemporary and rich of different flavors. Original tunes and detailed arrangements are the main ingredients of Mike’s music. In the last years Mike Sponza established his name on the international scene with his discography projects and his performances, showing the great vitality of Italian blues from a new point of view. Since his debut in 1997, Mike did a long road, not only on the artistic side: international festivals, club gigs and cooperation catalyzed the attention of blues audiences on his vision of a contemporary European blues, which is not afraid of purists’ opinions as well as avoiding overseas stereotypes.

The album comprises 11 tracks with a total runtime of approximately 54 minutes, featuring a setlist that includes both original compositions and classic blues standards.The recording came about spontaneously: a friend brought recording equipment to a local gig. After listening to the raw material and deciding the result was excellent, Pinsky and Halliberton moved the mixing process to Halliberton’s studio.Reviewers note that the album successfully captures the energy of a live performance and the soulfulness of the delivery. Pinsky strikes a good balance, cracking jokes between songs and maintaining a rapport with the audience. Gary Halliberton’s keyboard work is also singled out for praise, remaining clearly audible even beneath Pinsky’s vocals.

The winters are long, cold and brutal in the Midwest, but Josh Hoyer And The Shadowboxers are doing their best to heat things up for anyone with courage enough to venture out and catch their red-hot blend of blues, soul and jazz.Hoyer was a nominee for Best New Artist at last year’s Blues Blast Awards. He and his tight ensemble emerged from the Plains two years ago at the Las Vegas Blues and Rhythm Revival festival at the Riviera Hotel and Casino, and they’ve been burning a path wherever they’ve gone since, performing original music that’s hints of sounds of the past while delivering a message of social consciousness. A Nebraska native who works out of a home base in Lincoln, Hoyer’s musical journey includes several years on the road in the Pacific Northwest, a long stint in New Orleans, where he developed his chops, and a return home, where he spent years working with the homeless and acquired a different outlook on the world, complete with all of its joys and blemishes. His musical influences range from John Coltrane and Miles Davis to Ray Charles, James Brown and Otis Redding. A family man, he took a leap of faith not long ago and started hitting the road fulltime.
In their full alignment, the Shadowboxers are a throwback to the past: a full band complete with horn section and backup singers. A strong tenor vocally, Hoyer doubles on keyboards and saxophone as he fronts the group for their second release, a follow-up to last year’s self-titled debut album. Josh wrote and produced all the material you’ll hear here. Benny Kushner, who’s toured with The Millions and the Mescal Brothers, handles guitar, backed by a rhythm section of veteran road warrior Justin G. Jones on drums and 19-year-old phenom Joshua Barger on bass. Sax player Mike Dee and trombonist Tommy Van Den Berg round out the sound, aided by vocalists Hanna Bendler, Kim Moser and Megan Spain. Brian Morrow sits in on flute for this session. The soulful “Living By The Minute,” a jazz-tinged statement about living from check to check, kicks off the disc with a complaint that most working folks can relate to: Not having enough time for the woman who holds down the top spot in your heart and thoughts. The horn- and organ-driven “Misfit Children” is a hard-hitting funk with jazz overtones about folks turning a blind eye to suffering. Hoyer’s vow is to keep working forward as he urges society to compromise despite their differences and make the right choices. The theme about social inequity continues for the minor-key “Over The City.” The city looks peaceful from a distance, but teams with problems on closer inspection. 
“I write about what I think about and see in the world,” Josh says. “Not all of that is happy…but the groove is!”
That’s true about the next tune — “A Man Who Believes His Own Lies” – too, as Hoyer and his backup singers trade riffs as he vows to love his woman longer and stronger after hurting her in some unspoken way. It’s an upbeat pleaser that swings from the jump and remains full of hope despite the theme. The pace heats up for “Let It Out,” a rapid-fire lesson to take a lesson from the rock-‘in’-roll generation and release your frustrations, and then slows down dramatically again for “The First One,” a straight-ahead love song that’s a cross between Macon and Memphis soul. Hoyer’s relaxed delivery powers the number and allows him the opportunity to show his vocal prowess full-force, aided by a sensual sax solo.
The hard-driving “Real Time” is an observation about people losing grip on doing their best as they struggle and toil through the day. The horn section gets to step out mid-song. A staccato rhythm kicks off “11:11 333,” the message of which has spiritual significance. Living in 333 synthesizes mind, body and spirit with angels loving, surrounding and protecting you, while 11:11 signifies a conscious spiritual journey in which you’re aware of things in your life that others dismiss. “Blood And Bone,” a tune about living together, and “Don’t Turn Away,” a message to be responsible in the choices you make because they’ll affect your children. It’s not old-school Memphis, Detroit or Chicago, but modern soul blues for modern times. Hoyer delivers on all counts: Fresh tunes, solid rhythms and a message worthy of being heard.

13. Keep You Satisfied - 4:05

This CD covers a lot of ground. From the well written originals to the covers of Warren Haynes, D'Angelo, Willie Dixon, the Bottle Rockets and others; and it all seems to work really well. Frank Bang is an amazing guitar player and can keep up most proficiently & energetically with his former boss Buddy Guy.
Willie Dixon once said, “The blues are the roots and the other musics are the fruits.” As true as that is, it still doesn’t explain the blues, because the blues cannot be explained. When one thinks of the blues it’s easy to think of Robert Johnson, B.B. King, John Lee Hooker, or Muddy Waters. Connoisseurs of the genre will mention Son House, Blind Lemon Jefferson, and Leadbelly. Others will mention Keith Richards, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Paul Butterfield, and Eric Clapton. All would be correct. The blues is raw. It knows no culture. Its brutally honest and uncompromising. It’s your worst feelings and your best moments all at once. The blues will never apologize.
Nor will Frank Bang. And he doesn’t need to. He is the nicest guy you’ll ever meet, but when he picks up a guitar, he’ll slice your throat, woo your woman, make you cry, and might even make you dance. Ultimately, he will just make you feel. Something or everything. The real shit. Born with the Bohemian Irish name of Frank Blinkal into two generations of Chicago police officers and a mother that often worked three jobs, Frank learned at an early age about the grit and sometimes stark reality of the world he was born into and turned that into his own brand of the blues – weaned from years of trying to learn everything he could by putting himself into the middle of everything that the Chicago music scene had to offer. And it paid off.
In his twenties, Frank found himself working at Buddy Guy’s Legends club, while making a name for himself fronting bands of his own. He was soaking up invaluable knowledge from the clientele and getting an education that not many have a chance to experience. Numerous touring bands came through the club, but amongst the club’s regulars were Junior Wells, Otis Rush, and Lonnie Brooks.
And then he became Buddy Guy’s touring guitar player for five years. No late night conversations with your heroes will prepare you for that, if you don’t have the chops to pull off the gig. You have to work your ass off, which Frank did  as an employee of Legends, while working through the ranks. As Buddy’s guitar player, his work ethic paid off. Hard work is a big part of what makes up Frank Bang, He never stops playing. He never stops honing his craft. And he never takes any bullshit. Some of that was learned from his environment at Legends, but most of it has been ingrained in him since he was born.
With Buddy, he toured the world and shared the stage with the likes of Robert Plant, The Rolling Stones, and Eric Clapton, but that’s only semantics that make up pieces of a scene. As a solo artist, Frank has released four critically acclaimed albums under the names Frank Bang and the Secret Stash and Frank Bang and the Cook County Kings. He currently has 14 songs in regular rotation on B.B. King’s Bluesville Station on Sirius/XM. Whether it be dirty blues that sounds like Led Zeppelin through a beautifully blown speaker or the faithful tribute to his hometown Chicago blues, Frank Bang knows how to read a room. And there’s a good chance that on any given night in America, you might find yourself in a room where Frank Bang is making you feel something. Or everything. It’s the roots and the fruits. It’s rock and roll. And it’s definitely the blues.

“3 Legs Chair” , the second album of the band THE STEEL BONES, has just been released on all streaming platforms!Also available as a physical version on our Bandcamp channel.It collects 10 unreleased tracks written between 2023 and 2024. Unlike the first album, we tried to bring out the roots of our music, aiming to emphasize our southern, blues, and country soul much more. The sound pushes a lot on rough arrangements while remaining direct and catchy, we let our influences take over, mixing the hardest rock with very direct harmonies. The change of line-up was fundamental. The entry of Mirco Agostini on bass gave a positive breath of fresh air to the band. His more than thirty years of experience has strengthened our rhythm section, and has also given an important contribution in the arrangement , creating the right groove with Simone Gagliardi. Irony played a fundamental role. The lyrics tell about relationships, social themes, addictions, and why not, slightly mystical reflections that deal with the passing of time. Before entering the studio each song already had a well-defined identity, it had already been played several times in some cases even in live performances, precisely to be able to capture its essence.The search for a vintage style was also fundamental, which led to enriching the album by introducing parts of strings, pianos and “old style” Hammond with the fundamental contribution of Andrea Gagliardi who can now be considered an effective member of the band.

The Robert Johnson tribute album is nearly a rite of passage, a way to signal your deep love and understanding of the blues. Certainly, when Eric Clapton cuts a record of Johnson, it signals his roots -- and when Todd Rundgren dabbles, it smacks of a prank -- but when Big Head Todd & the Monsters do a centennial celebration of the legend, it feels something like a bid for credibility. To that end, the group has some heavy-hitters in its corner, with cameos by the legends B.B. King, Hubert Sumlin, Charlie Musselwhite, and Honeyboy Edwards lending this a blues authenticity that the group never quite managed previously, but 100 Years of Robert Johnson isn’t anchored with a blues beat; it swings with some supper club soul-jazz and just a hint of clean popping funk, everything relaxed enough to allow for some solos that never last long enough to lose a listener’s attention. There’s not a lot of grit here, not even when the Big Head Blues Club strips down to acoustic guitars for “Kind Hearted Woman” or “All My Love’s in Vain,” and if there is no trace of a haunted soul in Todd Park Mohr’s vocals -- something that does hamstring “If I Had Possession Over Judgment Day” and “Last Fair Deal Gone Down” -- his singing suits the smooth, easy spirit of the sessions, one where the songs are an excuse to jam, not a reason to dig into the depths of a soul.

"Southern style rock'n blues recorded live with jazz great Bob Russell on guitar and "D Squared" Dan Dixon on drums. This recording has great energy. Coastal Blues with a jazz influence. Reminiscent of Delbert McClinton" - from Chris Bellamy.
This 2008 live CD hits hard with trop-rock vibes and bluesy folk feels. Tracks like "On The Carolina Coast" and "Blues Barbeque" slap harder than a screen door in a hurricane. No label, no hype - just pure grit. You want soul? It's right here.
