OKAY! HERE'S THE LATEST UPDATES:
Curtis Marlatt will be hosting a new Blues Jam every Wed. at Jethro's Char-House & Pub in N. St Paul, just north of I-694 at the Century Ave. exit! The Jam starts at 8 pm and goes to 12:30 am.
For this jam I will be giving some recognition to the Blues rythmn- section cats out there by featuring a drummer and/or bass player every week!
Jethro's has good atmosphere and great food so, please, come out and support these jam sessions.
The Brothers Curtis Delta Duet has just completed their latest Blue Bayou Records release (BBYR-CD-01504) : The Brothers Curtis-Delta Blues from the Mississippi Headwaters.
The Brothers Curtis Delta Duet had a very rewarding and successful trip to the IBC "Road To Memphis" Challenge! Blake and myself scored very high in the international semis and made many wonderful contacts. We also played some very cool gigs on the way to Memphis, including The Slippery Noodle in Indianapolis and jam sessions in Louisville, KY, Nashville, TN and Clarksdale, MS!
While giging on the way down to Memphis we had the fabulous Stella Vees, Curtis Marlatt's band from Lexington, KY, back Blake and myself up. They happen to be the host jam band at Blues Hall in Memphis, on Beale St., at the rear of the Rhum Boogie Cafe. They've been hosting jams there every year on Fri. & Sat. afternoons.
With all my Minnesota musician friends, to include Curtis Blake and Harold Tremblay, cuttin' heads on that stage with many of my Kentucky musician friends, it was a glorious Blues-Is-All-Right, two day Juke Party!
See http://www.gtcbms.org/ for more information on the International Blues Challenge.
Curtis & The Kicks are chugging along with an eye out on another CD studio project for Blue Bayou Records (our 5th)!!! The Kicks will become a monthly "house band" at Dixies-On-Grand in St. Paul! Our next gig there is Derby Day, Sat. May 2nd-9:30 to 1:30 am. There will also be a special Derby Day show by the new Curtis Marlatt & The Kicks for one hour right after the Kentucky Derby is Run (5:30 pm)!
