Dave
'Big Dave'
Beardsley
I'm Dave - nicknamed Big Dave - as the gang at STLBlues
felt a nickname was mandatory for a Blues publisher.
What started as a hobby has grown into an innovative
music promotion company, based in St. Louis, with
band, venue and advertising connections around the
world, and thousands of daily visitors.
I serve as the publisher and editor of STLBlues. The
driving force behind this has always been my love
of the Blues.
East
Side Slim
Long time resident of the right-side of the Mighty
Mississippi, East Side Slim is an aficionado of all
forms of music branching from the Great Mother Tree
of blues. After many years spent in a seemingly endless
quest for music of the soul (and the occasional top-flight
barley pop), this quest was sated upon sinking deep,
deep roots into the ground surrounding ol' Saint Lou.
When not working, enjoying family and friends or pursuing
musical enlightenment, East Side Slim also enjoys
scuttlebuttin', concocting Tang-based beverages, hunting
for that elusive perfect bowling shirt, and turning
YOU on to great music via his reviews on www.stlblues.net.

Peter
'Cornbread' Cohen
While
just a youngster I was exposed to The Beatles and
Elvis, then BB King and Stevie Ray, I was hooked and
forever a music geek - I wear that badge proudly and
always eager to read or discuss music, performers
or gear. I enjoy my family and playing bass, here
at STLBlues I handle the money stuff and CD reviews.
There are many legends crossing the land on the origin
of Cornbread, despite such lore, I'm from St. Louis,
born, raised and schooled here. Man, I love getting
turned on to new music, especially funky, guitar soaked
blues with lots of soul, kind of like Tab Benoit,
Freddie or Albert King, Buddy Guy and Eric Clapton.
I hope you find something new here or just the passion
for the blues.
Peace
& love,
Peter 'Cornbread' Cohen, CBP

"Miss
Vickie"
I love music!
It's in my blood. My dad and his brothers played piano,
fiddle, clarinet, sax, and trombone. My dad, Ozzie Pucci,
played some really great piano bar and fiddle. My uncle,
Sylvio Pucci, played clarinet with Russ David for many
years. My uncle, Ben Pucci, played horn. I'll be talking
to musicians and venues to get the insight on what they're
all about. I'm here to tell the stories. Real
Blues and Real People!
