There's Wa-a-a-a-ay too many to name. Those were the first off the top of my head.
I'd like to give a special blues holler to Watermelon Slim, Cliff Belcher, Michael Newberry and Ronnie McMullen. Not only are they one of the best and hottest acts out there, but they're also some of the nicest folks you're ever likely to meet. I'm proud to call each of them a good friend.
hey kevin. i've got some small ties to Cinncinnati............the corporate headquarters for my employer i located there. Also my oldest daughter's siginificant other hails from Columbus. I see youdo some promoting as well. Have you tuned into any of the Swingin' Harpoon Blues Band's sounds?? My cousin John Kepler is the drummer for the group and I have been working with a record producer out of Indy area to try and put together a MIDWEST TOUR for these guys if possible for the summer/fall of 09 or whenever we can git'er' done. Check em' out on LiveBluesWorld. & get back to me if ya' would. I'd be appreciative of your feedback and if there would be anything we could collabarate on .....let me or the band know.
