Out of the Boston area, the band was sent to me by Holly Harris. I got to meet John and Paul (no not them!) and learn about this 40+ year relationship and their passion for creating music. We checked out the tunes from Side Hustle which releases this Friday.

WORLD PREMIERE LISTENING PARTY
THE WICKED LO-DOWN
What a great time meeting most of the band; Nick David, Paul Size, Jeffrey Berg & Brad Hallen were able to join me. We went through their Gulf Coast Records debut, Out Of Line, in its entirety (well, we missed the last song, a Hound Dog Taylor uncover), while learning about each of the members. Fun group of guys with a ton of talent. THANKS AGAIN to the band and Gulf Coast Records.
PHILIP SAYCE – COUCH KID NEW MUSIC
It had been 10 years since Philip, and I chatted. It was great to catch up and discuss the music he created during those years, the touring, and his finding peace. We listened to The Wolves Are Coming, as we spoke.
BEX MARSHALL
UK British Blues Award winner and 4-time European Blues Awards nominee Bex Marshall joined me early in the morning in the UK. And she had not been to sleep yet! What a fun talk. If Bex is this much fun at 4 AM, I can’t imagine! Her album Fortuna contains some great tunes.
