We hope you all can make it…
BLUE MOUNTAIN / 10:00 pm ~ Emerging from the post-punk Americana scene in the late eighties Blue Mountain came roarin’ up out of Oxford Mississippi with a sound that practically defined Alt-Country as a genre in American Music. Band members Cary Hudson (guitar), Laurie Stirratt (bass) and Frank Coutch (drums) create beautiful music that consumes listeners with all the passion and grace of the American South. Honest and straight-forward, Blue Mountain’s scope of musical output has been critically linked to Neil Young and Crazy Horse, the Allman Brothers, Elvis, Tammy Wynette, Robert Johnson, and Alex Chilton among many others. Touring and recording for over a decade, the band called it quits in 2001 only to be re-born better than ever in 2007. www.myspace.com/bluemountain
BLACK DIAMOND HEAVIES / 8:30 pm ~ Black Diamond Heavies are a “deep-south blend of dirty whiskey-addled rock’n’roll… When they settle into a mean bluesy groove, they’re unstoppable, marrying gravelly vocals with garage-rock organ solos and a John Bonham backbeat.” (Rock Sound) A 2-piece: John Wesley Myers, the left hand of rhythm, right hand of soul, on bass keys, fender rhodes, organ, and vocals. Van Campbell on drums and vocals. Sons of a Baptist preacher (Myers) and Kentucky bourbon distillers (Campbell “Old Rip Van Winkle”), the Heavies’ have gospel, blues, soul and raw fever in their blood. http://myspace.com/blackmountainheavies
