If you want to check some Vids out, please browse to www.youtube.com/CrossTownBand and you can see 3 different vids and songs, including one that is an ongoing project with Tommy Lee of Motley Crue, PLUS (a less than stellar, but okay) live…

You have been so magnanimous in your patience waiting for me to be satisfied with the final production and mix of the CD. I can't thank you enough! Still about 4 weeks out from sending the new CD, maybe the wait will have been worth it seeing…

RICHARD CARR
Voici ce que les gens du Blues Québécois on a dire sur lui.
"Eh bien, j'ai découvert un bluesman, professionnel comme on dit, sans prétention mais beaucoup de talent!" © 2006 - Pierre Ménard, Festival Maximum Blues.
"Richard Carr impressionne toujours par sa présence sympathique sur scène. Bon jeu de guitare, bonne voix qui accompagne bien les textes et un "band" qui lui donne une belle souplesse musicale. J'aime bien le style varié de Richard qui alimente toujours l'intérêt du public, une musique très "cool" et à propos. Quelques fois swing, quelques fois jazz et toujours en y ajoutant sa touche personnelle de blues. Une performance de haut calibre qu'on aime entendre. Bravo!" © 2006 - Aldo Druda "Émotion Blues" CFID 103,7 Radio-Acton
"Richard Carr un excellent artiste inspiré du vrai Blues!. Il nous offre des spectacles de grande qualité!" © 2006 Benoît Fortier, Passionblues.
Richard Carr fait partie de ces artistes qui ont réussi à atteindre un très haut niveau d'excellence à force de travail et de persévérance. Relativement peu connu du public québécois et bien davantage du côté de pays tels l'Australie, les États-Unis de même qu'en Europe, celui-ci n'en demeure pas moins une référence incontournable en matière de Blues livré sous le signe d'une très grande qualité. Un véritable trésor de la scène Blues d'ici. Richard Carr possède un jeu de guitare à la fois concis et énergique doublé d'une voix aux intonations très proches d'un Ray Charles avec un soupçon d'Eric Clapton. Ses performances sont offertes sous le signe d'une grande intégrité musicale et n'ont absolument rien à envier aux meilleures musiciens américain ou internationale.

Richard Carr est né le 19 février 1963 dans le quartier Ville-Émard de Montréal. Issu d‘une famille modeste, il reçoit sa première guitare à l’âge de 7 ans. C’est à l’ancienne église baptiste de la Petite Bourgogne (Little-Burgundy) qu’il reçoit ses premières leçons et découvre le Gospel. Ses premières influences viennent des Big-Bands tels que T-Bone Walker, Duke Robillard, et Dutch Mason. Depuis l’âge de 16 ans, il joue dans les bars et salles de spectacle et festival comme guitariste.
Après une longue absence du métier, en 1996 il fonde le Blue Ketchup Band où il prouve son talent indéniable de chanteur. À Boston en 1998 son chemin croise celui de Little Joe Cook et Weeping Willy. L’opportunité de jouer avec eux est un point tournant dans sa carrière. Il revient à Montréal fin 2000 en pleine certitude de ses habiletés innées et s‘affirme comme «band-leader» avec le Richard Carr Band.
Depuis on le voit prendre d’assault la scène de nombreux festivales et salle de spectacle tells le Festival International de Jazz de Montréal (Place des Arts), Festiblues, Maximum Blues. Carleton -Sur-Mer, QC, Festival de Jazz de Gatineau, St-Hyacinthe en Blues, Centreville en Blues-Rivière-Du-Loup, QC, BBQ Blues Fest, Festival L’Octobre en Blues de Joliette, Festivale de l’harmoica (Café-Campus), Centreville en Blues. Et divers clubs tels Skippers Smoke House (Tampa) The Pig (Memphis) Johnny D's (Boston) Cantab Lounge (Boston) Place Des Arts, le Bourbon Street West, Quartier de Lune, Pape Georges, Le Denier, CAFÈ-CAMPUS, Bistro à JoJo, L’Ours Qui Fume, Le Quais des Brumes, Porté-Disparu, etc.

- You have been so magnanimous in your patience waiting for me to be satisfied with the final production and mix of the CD. I can't thank you enough! Still about 4 weeks out from sending the new CD, maybe the wait will have been worth it seeing as how THIS version has Davey Pattison (GAMMA, Robin Trower) on vocals with me and Pete Thompson (Robin Trower) on Drums for around 9 of the tracks! And Robin's Manager Derek Sutton, along with Davey Pattison, are CO-Producing this one with me! Please send me an updated mailing address to Dave@CrossTown-Band.com at your convenience. I will be back in touch with some one off MP3 or Video files for your enjoynent PRIOR to the sending of the CDs!
Thank you ever so much! You are amazing!!!
Peace Always and All Ways!
Respectfully,
Dave Van Kleeck

- Hello Petra!
Absolutely buried in projects here! BUT!!! I am creating a very special Sampler CD for you that includes songs from 3 CDs I am working on with such incredible musicians as Davey Pattison (on Vocals) and Pete Thompson (on Drums) from the Robin Trower Band, as well as my long time foundation band of John Perry on Bass and Bob Herder on Drums. We three partners in rhyme comprise the bands CrossTown Band (Point Of View) and Dave Michaels Project (Crying Winds, Keeper Of The Portal, Journey, Lands Unknown). With Davey Pattison and Pete Thompson, our band is Davey Pattison and CrossTown and we have 2 albums currently in progress; "Storm On The Horizon" and "The Light". Also, with Davey and Pete, Dave Michaels Project has their 5th album in progress; "Cosmos".
I hope to have a Compilation Sampler CD and Radio One Sheets with a short Bio off to you by the first of next week finally. I had decided to make certain that when i sent THIS package off, it was going to be as current as possible and with the newest recordings and mixes we could release for public radio.
So, from ALL of us here in Sunny Arizona and Southern California, THANK YOU for your continued interest and patience. I hope you feel the wait was worthwhile when you get these CDs in both CDA Audio CD Format as well as 320kbps and 128kbps MP3 format.
Would love to hear what you and your listeners have to say once you get a chance to spin some of the songs up!
Peace Always and All Ways!
Respectfully,
Dave Van Kleeck aka Dave Michaels
and the entire crew and band WAYYY south of the Canadian border!

billy jones bluez said… - The Incredible Resurrection, Metamorphosis and Re-invention of Blues and Soul Music :
"what really got to me were the lyrics. ...it is “blues” transformed, updated and urbanized."
"Billy Jones brings back the Thrill that once belonged to Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush. ...A refreshing blast of the really great sound of Healing Blues, Jazz, Funk Music.
Loaded with Rich Blues Tradition B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Even Johnny Winter Flavors.
Folks you must check out Billy Jones Bluez."

"Billy Jones proves to be an excellent bluesman in this superb album, which epitimizes his extrodinary guitar playing, borrowing from the likes of such greats as Hendrix, Muddy Waters, and BB King. I'd recommend this to any avid blues listener and I look forward to hearing more from the reclusive Billy Jones."
