Summertime Blues series at Backdoor Blues Cafe
« on: May 03, 2008, 07:04:37 AM »
In case you guys didn't know, there's an ongoing blues gig series at Backdoor Blues Cafe featuring Manila's finest blues-based bands. 

1st: Plug
2nd: Kulukati
3rd: Snakecharmer
4th: Jook Jam  (TONIGHT)

I don't know of a place in Manila where you can just walk in any Saturday night and hear real blues music being played live.  Kuddos to Backdoor Blues Cafe for keeping the flame alive.

backdoor_man - post mo naman dito yung mga pics and videos from the earlier gigs in the series. :-)

4th in the series was a humdinger!  Halos puno pa rin altho the weather wasn't good. 

I was really stoked to play again after a brief hiatus. I've been working back on my old 'pondo' and was glad to showcsase em last nite: Howlin Wolf, Willie Dixon, Koko Taylor, John Lee Hoooker, Big Bill Broonzy, Lightnin Hopkins, Skip James.  At the same time, Ronnie "The Kid" and Chester "The Lickmeister" were humming on all cylinders! Judging from Big Boss Backdoor Man's reaction, I think it was a success. Di pa nga todo yun eh; there's more where that came from. ;-)

Great jams with guests Kit (Kulukati), John and Kedy (Working Stiff)!  Whew -- parang nagensayo!  :-o

Watch out for  the next installment.  Sino nga ba at kelan, Big Boss Backdoor Man?

ey delta, thanks for the post... last night was definitely fun! Jook Jam was jammin alright... nice choices you made, too!  And Kedy? Dang, his blues guitar was sweeeeet!  :mrgreen:

next up is AKI on May 10, a young group doing their first stripped down set at the Backdoor. SNAKECHARMER gets down on May 24. Still waiting confirmation for other saturdays of summer. uhmmm.. Johnoy and Kakoy w/ Ronnie might do a bluesy set before summer is over. :mrgreen: Will post here as things unfold.

Post ko recent pics later... unfortunately, walang pics from last night. My batt went dead (tupid!) and even the lomo group were out of film coming from a shoot at the fort. Di bale, bawi na lang ako sa next gig. :wink:

Re pics: I already asked John to ask Kedy to share the pics/vids they took.


Ayos, dami pa pala aabangan sa series...  Put Jook Jam down for another Sat that's available, kahit tag-ulan na ang Summertime Blues Saturdays.  :-)
