Blues on the Road

This weekend showcased some of the finest Blues to be found. STLBlues began the journey with the Bear Creek Blues Festival, in Slater, MO. This event is a community effort, spearheaded by Jill Murray and the City of Slater. St. Louis was very well represented by the sounds of Phat noiZ, one of the finest blues bands out on the fest circuit. Phat noiZ has a CD release party down at BB's on July 28th, for 'Milk and Cookies', their newest effort! And a tip of the hat for booking in a New Orleans legend, Mr. Bryan Lee. Every New Orleans musician needs all the support they can get, post Katrina. We saw first-hand recently how devastated the city still is!

The Bear Creek Blues Fest bands consisted of -

Fletcher’s One Man Classic Blues Band – Keith Fletcher hails from Columbia, MO. and has entertained blues fans on the street, at festivals, out of his van, at any venue you can imagine. His ability to play guitar and sing with his own pre recorded music is truly a sight and sound to experience.

The Blues Notions – Since 1987, they have been Kansas City, Missouri’s pre-eminent blues band. The Notion’s blend of traditional and jump blues with their own originalmaterial creates a well rounded show that swings, shouts and leaves the crowd clamoring for more.

The Salty Dawg (a/k/a Gary Coble) – Since 1997 Gary has been playing R&B in the Kansas City, Missouri area. His fans and fellow musicians nicknamed him “The Salty Dawg”. His style ranges from a funky “can’t stay in your seat” blues to a whole lotta soul blues.

Alvin Jett & the Phat Noiz Blues Band – A native of St. Louis, Missouri, Alvin Jett has been entertaining audiences in the St. Louis area for over twenty years. The Phat Noiz blues band is his means for delivering to the audience his brand of in-your-face, hard driving blues. They represented MOBlues at the IBC challenge in Memphis this past January.

Bryan Lee – A player and singer of fierce conviction and deep soul, Lee has been New Orleans, Louisiana’s best kept secret for the past two decades. With ten recordings and touring all over North America and Europe, Lee’s down home Cajun sound is definitely a force to be reckoned with.

On the road from the Bear Creek Fest led to the 15th Annual Robller Vineyard Blues and BBQ. Robert and Lois Mueller make this fest one of the best, showcasing the best of St. Louis Blues, and the best of Missouri Wine! This Sunday featured.....Phat noiZ!

The last stop of this whirlwind of Missouri Blues ends at Oak Knoll park, for the Bottoms Up Blues Gang, and the soulful, sultry vocals of Kari Liston. Kari even had the BUBG 'dancers-in-training' on the scene!
