TANTRAMARSH BLUES SOCIETY (THE OTHER TBS...) PRESENTS:

Dear Friends,

We have a wonderful summer and fall lineup for you:

On Friday, July 11, we have Chicago hard soul legend Syl Johnson and his 7-piece band playing George's Roadhouse (Sackville, NB) at 9 PM. Syl doesn't perform very much anymore (we know because we have tried to get him to come for many years now)...this is a rare opportunity to catch some authentic Chicago-style soul blues by way of Memphis (Syl recorded many great hits on Hi Records in Memphis, still Al Green's musical home, including 'Take me to the River" and "Is it because I'm Black?').

Syl plays for us on Friday and then headlines the Halifax Jazz Festival on Saturday, July 12. More details to follow.

On Saturday, September 20, we have Maritime favourite Matt Anderson and his band in the Fall Fair Tent on Bridge Street. New Brunswick's Matt Andersen has an enigmatic personality coupled with a larger than life showmanship that has been earning him a fervent and steadfast audience wherever he graces the stage. Matt's sprawling Blues, Roots and Rock Music hybrid with his sorrowing and soulful voice has sparked a phenomenal buzz on the east coast, as has the grassroots word of mouth from his followers, a.k.a. ‘Matt-Heads!’ For more on Matt, please see http://www.stubbyfingers.ca/.

On Saturday, October 18, we have several exceptional possibilities that we are in the process of narrowing down…please stay tuned…and mark the date!

On Friday, November 14, we have the Guy Davis Trio. Guy has always been a TBS favourite, with numerous memorable returns to the Roadhouse. But this time he comes back with a twist...and that twist is a band that is going to allow him to play music from his CD that he has never been able to play as a solo artist. So don't miss this rare opportunity to catch Guy doing everything that he has done so well in the past for us...and more! For more on Guy, please see http://www.guydavis.com/.

We also have a fine winter schedule that is shaping up already, and will share those details with you as soon as we can. Thanks for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you at the shows.

Regards,


The TBS Team
