The cool thing is that there is no cover charge! This would be a great time for area TB'ers to meet and say hello.

Small intimate bar/club, great show. He is a really great singer, too. Gave his all to a small crowd. If you come to South Florida, the Bamboo Room is a great venue. It's a blues bar with great national acts. I recently saw Sue Foley, and Duke Robillard there, too. Late night shows, cool mixed drinks, and draft beers, great music, how can ya beat it? edmidlifecrisis Al Caldwell 01-23-2007, 03:54 AM I'll be there!! Thanks Dr.Cheese for the info!!

Glad to be helpful Al. Between you and KJung, I know who will be the worst player in the house by far that night - me!:hiding: Planet Boulder 01-25-2007, 12:23 PM Oteil is mind-blowing, simply put. I can't think of any current bassists whom I like more (there are a couple whom I like just as much, such as Vic Wooten and Tom Kennedy). I have to give him special credit for the manner in which he transformed his playing style to suit the Allmans. I saw him with the Allmans on his first tour with them and I thought he was a poor fit. At that time, he sounded more like "ABB+ Oteil" and it just wasn't working. Saw them with him a year later and it was a COMPLETELY different story! He was channeling Berry Oakley! He even switched basses to get Berry's tone. He is a great person and an amazing musician. He's one of the musicians whom I'd like to meet most. peteroberts 01-26-2007, 07:24 PM what I don't get... why is he playing a Fender? The Tractor was an EB-0, wasn't it? (albeit a mutated one) Dr. Cheese 01-26-2007, 08:12 PM what I don't get... why is he playing a Fender? The Tractor was an EB-0, wasn't it? (albeit a mutated one) The tractor was a Jazz with an EB-O or Guild (Darkstar) pickup in the neck position. |
