Exhibition - Capturing the Blues
Posted: Sat Sep 26, 2009 12:28 amI have an exhibition opening next weekend in Mogo covering the last three Narooma Blues Festivals with 55 framed prints in all.
It is at Steve Fox’s Mogo Raw Arts and Blues Gallery (Mogo is 10 minutes past Batemans Bay) 10am to 5pm Fridays to Mondays from 2nd to 26th October – as per the poster:
Dallas Frasca
The image in the poster shows Dallas Frasca and Geoff Curran (“Dallas Frasca and her Gentleman”). Dallas plays a form of blues that is both very modern and very old, perhaps a mixture of grunge and ragtime and she has a great voice too. She may be familiar to many.
Here are a few more:
Diunna Greenleaf
Diunna Greenleaf is from Texas, is based in Gospel as well as Blues, has a very powerful presence on stage and a huge huge voice. She will be at Narooma again this year and I imagine she will end up in a duet with Candye Kane who will be there as well ….
Smokin’ Joe Kubeck
Smokin’ Joe Kubeck is a Texas-based electric guitar powerhouse, in partnership with the more Jazz-based Bnois King. They’ve been together for a long time, at least the early 80s. Smokin’ Joe had some technical problem in his first set last year though he still sounded great to me and I’m told he gave a much more impressive performance on the Sunday.
Jimmy Thackery
Red, White and Blues, perhaps. Jimmy Thackery (“Jimmy Thackery & the Drivers”) has been around for a long time, plays in a variety of styles and I think he’s based in Arkansas.
Regards,
Murray
