Hi Blues Bloggers
I’m absolutely beside myself & jumping out of my skin 🙂 that Xabc Entertainment is touring Charlie Musselwhite & his band around Australia Feb/Mar 2015.
Fresh off the back of his Grammy award winning album with Ben Harper “Get Up”
I feel honoured that we call each other friends.
I remember last time we toured him here, a fan at one of his shows shook his hand & ran off,they ran past me & I heard her saying to her friend that they just shook Charlie’s hand, upon hearing that I told Charlie & he said “well I suppose they are excited because my hand has shaken Muddy Waters hand who had shaken Robert Johnson’s hand,so I immediately shook his hand & thought WOW there is only a small degree of separation between Charlie & the men & women who invented Blue’s music!
So get ready because “Here Comes Charlie Musselwhite”
Please leave a comment below, I love your feedback.
Stay tuned for tour dates.
Saw Charlie in Bridgetown Blues, WA, and have become a fan since.
No one plays harmonica like Charlie.
Hope to see him over here again one day.
Playing Perth international arts fest tomorrow.
Whos in charlies band?
Sorry missed this comment Ben real busy with tour …June Core drums,Matt Stubbs Guitar,Steve Froberg Bass
Went to the show at Panthers** Was so great for me to see the great man in person
My Dad played Charlies tapes over and over at home but never saw him live so I grew up with Charlies wonderful sound
We thought it only fitting to play Charlies SLEEPWALK at my Dads funeral
When our guest left the cemetery each was given one of Dads old harps to celebrate his life
( he had hundreds)
Charlies music will always stay with me
Thank him for me
Jules
