Ernie played his first guitar in the 30's; he was 13 and living in a shack on a Virginia Plantation. He spent his days picking tobacco and his nights bending the blues on a beat up six-string. By the 40's, he earned the right to play with the local bluesmen at the Saturday night Fish Fries in Halifax County, Virginia. At the age of 19, he bought a one-way ticket to Harlem, NY with the $9.00 it took him a year to save - he was moving north to go after his dream.

In the 50's, he played as many as 7 nights a week. From amateur nights at the famed Apollo Theater to juke joints in the dark corners of the city, he was making his mark as a young showman. In the 60's, life demands brought him north to Albany, NY. He worked odd jobs day and night to support his family. His dream was put on hold.

In the 70's when the blues scene was waning, he formed a new band, playing gigs in local bars and hosting blues jams whenever he could slip away from his minimum wage jobs. Over the next two decades, he maintained his post as a fixture of Albany's blues community, a scene hidden away in the dingy rooms of the city's toughest neighborhoods.

In 1992, he formed yet another band and, 53 years after he played his first note, Ernie Williams was about to realize his dream.

Although the band members have changed through the years, Ernie has remained one of the most beloved performers in the region. From the House of Blues in Boston to Buddy Guy's Legends in Chicago; from festivals to opening slots for major recording acts, Ernie has been a force to be reckoned with. Ernie and his band represented the East Coast in KLON's National Blues Talent Search and walked away with a prize for first runner up; on two occasions they received a Critic's Choice column in the "Chicago Reader". To date, Ernie has released six CD's.

In addition to his musical performances, Ernie's charisma has landed him both magazine and TV spots. He was selected by Canon for their ad campaign for their new line of copiers called "Canon Blues". He also appeared on a TV commercial for "Grapes and Grains", a Capital District upscale wine establishment.

At 80+ years young, Ernie continues to say "this is just the beginning". Knowing his spirit and motivation, that's entirely possible!

 5. Jo Mama - 2:38
 6. Cry - 4:01

The Dan Lawson Band is a high energy "boogie blues" band. Dan has been hailed as "one of the best blues guitarists in the country" by the likes of guitar maker Ken Parker(Parker Guitars), and the album Bill 'n Hel's Kitchen has been hailed as, "high-energy boogie blues...that would make Clapton proud". The track "Let's Ride" has been picked up by MTV "Road Rules" and ABC's "Making the Band" as well as ESPN. Do you like the blues? If you do, this is about as good as it gets. The Dan Lawson Band is a high-energy boogie blues band that brings rock ‘n roll together with the blues to create a stunning sound. The mix of Dan Lawson’s thundering guitar licks, GoG’s impeccable timing on the drums, the rock steady bass of Billy Carpenter, and the sweet fingers of Gary Voller on the Hammond organ and piano make for a unique brand of lively danceable music. Their sound is perfect for every venue from smoky bar rooms to the largest of arenas. Dan has played with many bands and has also served as studio and band guitarist for such national touring acts as Nashville’s Nathalie Cote. He was also a finalist in the Jimi Hendrix Guitar Competition. He ranges from ripping rock guitar solos to country licks and down-and-dirty blues. But his real love is a mix of styles called Boogie Blues. Songs like “Jo Mama” and “Play the Blues” are perfect examples of this style with effortless guitar lines and full backing band. Yet, he is not limited in any sense. The band can play songs that range from high energy rock to more somber tunes like “Just Ain’t Easy”, an Allman Brothers tune that appears on this CD. Dan’s unique guitar style thrills fans and keeps them dancing for hours.

Thirteen new original tracks, bearing the unmistakable stamp of singer and harmonica player Jr Johnny, who, as on previous occasions, is backed by Stephen Munnich on guitars, David Pastorius (Jaco's nephew) on bass, and Bjarne Kjaer on drums. The four musicians have shaped this new release, titled Danger Zone, in which many of the songs have clear stylistic references to Lou Reed or Van Morrison in the way they are performed. Fans who decide to get a copy of the album will find, in addition to the thirteen new compositions, some well-known covers such as Got My Mojo Working, Baby, Please Don't Go, Spoonful, and Tin Pan Alley, in personal interpretations that are somewhat different from the traditional versions. The tracks were recorded almost entirely in one take. Direct and with hardly any overdubs, the result is vibrant and very rewarding.

Tenry Johns has come a long way from his humble beginnings in a small town in the Delta called Shelby, Mississippi. He started his own band at the age of 15 while he while still in high school.
After graduating in the mid ’60s, his family moved to Chicago. Shortly after hitting town, Tenry looked up his cousin, notable local singer/songwriter and performer, Johnny Drummer, and the two started playing together regularly.
Eventually, Tenry and his brothers formed “The Johns Bros. Band” with the fabulous Denise LaSalle and Bill Coday fronting the band.
After years of performing around Chicago and surrounding areas, Tenry met Harry Glen from Marvel Records. They worked together on releasing his first 4 song EP.
Some of his other experiences include teaming up with the Gemico label recording group called “The Notations”, and as the bandleader for the touring band, “Nitro”.
After the group broke up, Tenry’s focus turned to writing and producing his own songs.
Far too often the blues can come across as generic and lacking in variety. There are few artists who manage to pull off a form of the style that is based in a traditional vein and is still varied enough to entertain. There are even less who do that and make it fun. Tenry Johns is just such a man. With this CD he has combined classic blues stylings with rock and roll and even jazzy modes to create a sound that is quite varied and fun. There are some lesser, more generic moments, but overall Johns seems to know how to change it up enough to keep the music fresh. If you are a fan of high-energy blues, especially with a traditional core, then by all means you should give this one a listen.

It's pretty rare these days for veteran bluesmen to be "discovered" after years of obscurity, but bassist and vocalist Ernie Williams proves that there may still be some truth in that cliche. Though he'd worked for years in neighborhood venues in New York City and Albany, Williams was unable to expand his reputation until 1993, when he assembled his rough-and-ready band the Wildcats (Williams's old street nickname had been Wildcat Quick Ernie Lash). Led by guitarist Mark Emanatian, they began gigging in rock clubs throughout the Albany area, and they eventually recorded Sun Goin' Down on the homegrown Wildcat label. On that disc  Williams demonstrates a refreshingly unforced versatility: he immerses himself in a spectrum of musical and emotional expression from wistful blues balladry to roadhouse rockers. His lyrics are unusually personal, even poignant, and his Wildcats, though predictably rock influenced, take their cues from Williams and remain rooted in a tasteful blues groove. Williams's brand of workmanlike artistry is becoming increasingly rare in this age of flash and vapid flamboyance, but it's what the blues needs if it's to remain viable as an art form.

Our 13th show in 17 days was a big one. We were thrilled to return to the NEW MORNING. Our first gig there a year ago was unforgettable, so the bar was certainly set high for this one.The tour so far had us zigzagging all over Europe. We missed our families, and the back-to-back shows, long road trips, endless flights, lost luggage, and other mishaps were starting to wear us down.This was the second-to-last show before we could head home for Christmas. The anticipation was building, and we knew we had to make this night special. We needed this one! Given last year’s epic show and the super enthusiastic crowd, we decided we had to record this performance. Thank goodness we did! This is the three-piece band at its absolute best! The crowd's energy was electric. They were so loud and lively, we didn't want the night to end. Now, such a brilliant moment in time is captured forever.
I really hope you enjoy this recording as much as we enjoyed performing it. It's a testament to our journey, our passion, and the incredible support from our fans. Here's to an unforgettable night at the NEW MORNING!
