Back in 2022, five buddies found themselves sitting around thinking, “We should start a band.” And as history repeats itself, a band was indeed born. With already existing musical chemistry from playing in various bands together in high school, these boys picked up their instruments, cracked a beer, and the rest was history. Bush League pays homage to all of the beloved minor leagues out there. Music catered to those like us, this one goes out to those of y’all with champagne taste on a bud-heavy budget. Now Tucson based, these Northern Arizona kids come from mismatched musical backgrounds. Through the thoughtful amalgamation of these styles, Bush League forges the heavy psychedelic noise scapes and jivey choruses that define their style. The league consists of Liam Cashmore on bass, Karson Trainor on drums, Jackson Ells on sax and keys, and Dylan Walker and Canyon Willis-Green both on guitar. Don’t let the name fool you, Bush League is major league.In May of 2024, Bush League released their debut EP, “Ain’t It Somethin;” a curious blend of the bands soul, funk, indie and jam influences. To celebrate this milestone, the band kicked off their first ever tour, with dates throughout Arizona and New Mexico. In the summer of 2025, the boys are hitting the road again for a longer and more ambitious stretch, descending into the beast that is Colorado.Bush League has shared the stage with up-and-comers in the jam scene such as Dogs in a Pile and Eggy, and preformed at festivals such as Flagstaff Hullabaloo and June Jam.

Seasoned professionals they've earned the respect of promoters, club owners, producers and peers for their dedication to their craft, easy going confidence and their refreshing lack of pretense.

Nearing their 30th year as a touring group the Nace Brothers are poised for a larger audience. Brilliant songwriting, expressive vocals, soaring guitar and a rock solid rhythm section combine for entertainment at it's best.

After meeting at Pennsylvania's Pocono Blues Festival, New Orleans' Bev Conklin (BC) and Maryland's Lea Gilmore immediately bonded together with a common goal: Lea wanted to sing the Blues and Bev wanted to sing gospel. Their first joint performance in 2004 at the world-renowned listening room, Godfrey Daniels in Bethlehem, PA, led to a return invitation in 2005 for a sold-out show. This recording captures some of their memorable moments both individually and together backed by Bev's band, BC & The Blues Crew, and Lea's accompanist, Eric Byrd.

The Wildcat O'Halloran Band returns with a new record Welcome To Sunderland, their first release on the Guitar One imprint. This 13 song set is everything we have come to know about this slippery little band out of New England. Exceptionally clever lyrics, tasteful playing and vintage sounding recordings. This band always has 70's lo-fi sounding production, which is refreshing to hear in a time of pristine digital recordings. A little dirt goes a long way! 
The album opens with a cut called Welcome Wagon. A story about the police pulling over the late night drunk drivers coming out of the college bars in town. This song has a bit more of a rock and roll approach that would be at home on a Warren Zevon album versus a straight 12 bar blues. However, it would be impossible to extract the blues instincts from this outfit. You simply can't take the salt back out of the soup, and this is some pretty salty gumbo. 
A cool rumba Check Her Mama is the classic story of taking a good look at the mother of your love interest for a glimpse into the future. The band lays down a solid pocket on the classic blues groove with sweet guitar and harp solos peppered throughout, providing lots of heat to the already spicy rumba beat that has become a standard on most blues records. 
Too Big to Cry is a fun track that embodies everything that this band brings to the blues table. Always a cool lyric that is much more thoughtful than a typical blues song. Wildcat is a storyteller at the core that clearly has a love for the blues, but a sense of humor and a contemporary spin on his words. A modern wordsmith with an old school approach to the music and production makes for an interesting listen for sure.
A less typical funky approach to the Albert King classic Born Under A Bad Sign is an unexpected surprise. Cat's guitar playing seems to have the influence of the British Blues Invasion more so than any other influence. His playing on this cut is less Albert King sting and more of a Peter Green or early Clapton approach. His playing always sounds unforced and comfortable. He seems less concerned about total precision and more interested in the overall vibe. 
Wildcat and company never disappoint with their dirty delivery. If you are a fan of a grittier approach to the blues there is a lot here to like. It's not overly aggressive at any point, but never dull either. The production is charmingly real as is the performance. It has the feel of the band live in the room and whatever happens is what is printed to tape. It's an approach that isn't for everyone, but has a very human quality to it that is missing in most records these days. Cat's ability to tell a story is on par with the likes of Billy Joel and Tom Waits, wrapped into the blues. Pretty solid lyrical company to say the least. If you are looking for a more light hearted approach to blues music with a contemporary approach to the lyrics this is a slam dunk.

"SOULSVILLE", one of the title tracks, kicks off this absolutely wonderful CD with a real hot blend of Gospel, Blues and Bluegrass. It's a mover and a shaker that had me burning up the keypad as I tried to, but just couldn't keep pace. The song is all about Soulsville -Memphis, TN - of course. Mitch, Richard and Danny tear it up on guitar, piano and harp respectively.
"FENCE ME IN", "GLORY HALLELUJAH, and "STANDING ON THE ROCK OF MY LORD" all have all of the defining Gospel ingredients. They are very moving, uplifting and spiritual. Danny's soul can truly be felt through his vocals on all of these songs.
"OTHER SIDE OF THE CLOUD" was unquestionably one of my favorite tracks. Most likely because of the great piano playing by Michael and the excellent harp by Danny. This was Gospel Blues done at it's best.
"YOU WON'T SHOW" contains so much soul it gave me flashbacks of MOTOWN. I guess this is some of what Brownie McGhee was referring to when he once told Danny Brooks that "fo' a white boy you sho' nuff got a tan on the inside".
"WALK THAT WALK" contains a little bit of just about every music genre imaginable. Dennis on "Big Bertha", the stand up bass, and Colin on the mandolin are absolutely on fire on this one. Amidst all it's spirituality, this is a real fun song" ~ Peter  Lauro.

Sometimes you get something great when it is least expected, which is the case with Debbie Bond and the TruDats’  CD, That Thing Called Love.  This material was originally recorded in a big army surplus tent out in the hills of West Nashville as a live performance for the WRFN Radio Free Nashville’s Mando Blues Show.  When the smoke cleared, it turned out that the music and chemistry were so good that OmegaLab Studio’s Rob McClain was able to mix and master the recordings into something very special. Debbie Bond has over 30 years of Alabama blues experience and has toured the US and Europe with legendary bluesmen, including Johnny Shines, Little Jimmy Reed, Willie King, Eddie Kirkland, and Jerry “Boogie” McCain.  Since 1995 she has mostly run her own crew, and released her debut album in 1998.  Debbie gives back to the blues community and is the founder of the non-profit Alabama Blues Project, which is dedicated to the promotion and preservation of blues from the Heart of Dixie. That Thing Called Love is Debbie Bond’s third release, and it was accomplished with the bare minimum of personnel.  Debbie provided the vocals, rhythm guitar, and lead guitar, and she is joined by her husband Rick Asherson on keyboards, keyboard bass, harmonica and backing vocals. He also acted as producer for this project.  Dave Crenshaw was the drummer for the majority of this record and guest saxophonist Tom Pallardy came on board to lend a helping hand.  There are nine tracks, seven of which were written by Bond and Asherson, and three of them were previously unreleased. The first track is a cover of Solomon Burke’s “You’re the Kind of Trouble;” you may have seen this Holmes Brothers song being performed on the Nashville musical drama tv series last year.  There is almost too much to process while listening to this soulful pop-oriented blues tune: Debbie has a beautiful voice and can play a fine guitar, Asherson and Crenshaw are tight as brothers, and this is one of the best-mixed live albums you will ever find.  It is hard to compare Bond’s voice to any contemporary artist, but in a nutshell her sound is equal parts throaty and melodic and she is spot-on with her intonation and phrasing — there is nothing like decades of real-world experience to hone one’s craft. The other cover is also from the Holmes Brothers and “Feed My Soul” is a soulful ballad that highlights Asherson’s bass keys and electric piano.  Pallardy’s sax makes the mood on this track, and it is impressive how reserved and disciplined he is, playing only what is needed.  Too often sax players get a little out of control in live situations and kill the vibe, but that does not happen here.The logical assumption would be that “Steady Rolling Man” is an ode to Debbie’s husband, who she met when they were both touring with the late Willie King.  It certainly is a good description of his playing style and Rick Asherson delivers the goods with his speakeasy piano in this New Orleans flavored song.  Crenshaw lays back, grabs his brushes and mutes his drums to complete the picture.  This is an ambitious tune as it is is a departure from the rest of the show and it is a vocally difficult song, but Debbie and the TruDats pull it off and it shines as the standout track of That Thing Called Love.“Tarragona Blues” appears twice on the album, and the second version is sequenced as the final track in an extended re-mix that features Ray Robinson on drums (Crenshaw moved over to Latin percussion), and Jonathan Blakney on background vocals and additional percussion.  The extra personnel is needed as this is a bossa nova tour de force.  It ends up being a shout-out to Debbie’s Spanish fans who appreciate her jazzy blues stylings, and she treats them (and us) with hearty vocals that are specific to their land and she throws in a smooth Telecaster break for good measure. Debbie Bond and the TruDat’s That Thing Called Love is a slickly-produced CD, but since it was recorded live it has a raw energy that is missing from most studio projects.  It is a great example of Alabama blues and soul from the premier ambassador of the genre, and you should definitely make the time to give it a listen!

The Tuscan bluesman, after a long series of important collaborations (from Andy J. Forest to James Thompson, Arthur Miles, Pippo Guarnera, Vince Vallicelli, etc.), decides to try his hand at his first solo album. Ten songs, including five unreleased songs by himself, are filled with boundless passion, heart, soul, and a great blues groove sprinkled throughout. Classics like "Hoochi Coochie Man," "T-Bone Shuffle," and "Minnie the Moocher" are accompanied by his own compositions, which certainly hold their own. Impeccable technique and style, a highly polished execution, make this an ideal album for lovers of the genre. Blues in Barrique is a tribute to the masters of the blues and a discreet showcase of Barontini's confident and mature guitar playing, a vocalist with a limited range; a melting pot of blues, shuffle, and swing that at times recalls early Joe Galullo. Nothing new under the sun, a sincere and heartfelt blues album without any modern pretensions. ~ Gianandrea Pasquinelli/

Offering up a mix of bluesy jazz vocals covering some well known song standards, All Shades Of Blues is a fine introduction to the art of singer Beverly Lewis. Recording in South Florida, Beverly gets fine support from some gifted musicians including guitarist John Fifield—a guitar multi-tasker who is often masterful at merging a number of electric guitar sounds and styles, sometimes within the scope of a single song. Covers highlighted on the ten track, 38 minute CD include fine renditions of the Cannonball Adderly classic, written by Joe Zawinal, “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy” and the B.B. King favorite “Everyday I Have the Blues”, here blending in the Billie Holiday standard “Fine And Mellow.” That uptempo, rockin’ groove is what Ms. Lewis excels at. Some writers have mentioned comparisons between Beverly Lewis and time honored vocal icons like Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday and after hearing her album it's hard to argue with that point. Backing up Beverly's musical appeal here are top players such as Sammy Figueroa (percussion), Randy Singer (harmonica), and Lee Levin and Göran Rista (drums). In addition to fine mixing from Göran Rista and mastering by Bob Katz, the CD also benefits from a number of horn players, including those who have worked with jazz-rock icon Blood, Sweat & Tears. Offering an interesting contrast to John Fifield’s work on his recent solo album, It Is What It Is... the sound of All Shades Of Blues is very well recorded and overall the CD presents an impressive album of solid jazzy blues. www.BeverlyLewis.net
