AMERICAN ROOTS LIVE WITH NASTY NED REVIEW 63 BY NASTY NED

NASTY NED WITH HONEY BOY DUPREE

ARL Roots Review 63
Our time with HoneyBoy Dupree at American Roots Live with Nasty Ned was a blast as he and his big voice ripped through some of his old tried and true favorites; Howlin', Bring It On Home To Me, You Can Leave Your Hat On among others, and a smokin' slow blues that he made up as we went along.I especially had a great time playing with Dupree and Lee Fink. It was our first time together since ARL 18. We were joined on stage this night by drummer Jamo Flynn and keyboardist Len DePiano. There was so much talent in the house at ARL 63, I wondered if we were violating some kind of monopoly-on-talent law. The ARL 63 playlist read: John Powers, JR Bradfield, HoneyBoy Dupree, Lee Fink, Len DePiano, Ed Pampani, Robert Zee, Bones Sanford, Jamo Flynn, Keith McGonigle, Josh Gebhardt, Lori V, Snakeman Runyan, Ed Avilia, Paul Obremski, Nancy Coletti, Roy Macnamara, Richard Poliner, Andy Koenig, Chris O'Sullivan, Chet Smith, Doug Diettman, Bob Giglio and Arne Englund - and the All Stars autographed guitar is getting filled with the names of special people.Hurry out to American Roots Live at Orphan Annie's for your chance to win this awesome guitar. Raffle tickets are only $3 each or get five chances to win for only $10. It's a collector's piece, yes, but it's also the exact same guitar as one Johnny Charles plays so sweat.As always, many thanks to OA's, Rick, Karin, Annie, Frank, Elmore Magazine, Win for these photos and Stevie for the M&M's.See you soon.Keeping it real, Ned

AMERICAN ROOTS REVIEW 62 BY NASTY NED

Roots Review 62
John Powers must be a long-ago drifter reincarnated into a young man with a special gift; the ability to communicate age-old human experience through music. Whether you call it alternative country, Americana or just rockin' emotion with a hook and a beat - John Powers writes and performs songs that get stuck in your head, your heart and your soul. There is no escape from them playing over and over in your mind. Once you've heard them, they're in you.The audience at American Roots Live 62 was treated to an extended set by this talented song smith who previewed several melodic, message laden gems for us from his forthcoming John Powers CD, "Highway Lines". Infectious.

And another great night of roots music celebration was underway.Again they came from near and far - New Jersey and Pennsylvania, Los Angeles and Florida. This week; Phoenix, Arizona and San Francisco, California. Last week and the week before; North Carolina and Kentucky as word of all the fun we're having at ARL spreads.And last week, we started collecting ARL All Star's autographs on a new guitar (soon to be completely covered with artist's names) and raffled off - a means to pay for our new drum kit. Tickets are $3 a piece, two for $5 and five for $10 - and you won't even have to be present on the night of the drawing to win. Come to American Roots Live for your chance at the collectible and playable autographed guitar, and soak up the sweat sounds that are the heartbeat of our culture

- American roots music.ARL 62's play list read: John Powers, JR Bradfield, Len DePiano, Ed Pampani, Carl Bittman, Jamo Flynn, Roy Macnamara, Garry Hodgson, Bob DelRosso, Chris O'Sullivan, Chet Smith, Robert Zee, Ed Avilia and Arne Englund.Thanks go to Orphan Annie's, Rick, Karin and Annie, Elmore Magazine, Stevie, Cynthia, Kenny and Joe, Honky Tonkin' Tracey Stones for her spirit, Win for these photos and Len DePiano for the extra mile.We're having way too much fun for just one night so this Thursday we're kicking-off our first week of "two big ARL nights per week" with a 5th of July party. This will be one for the books. That's right, American Roots Live will now play every Thursday at 9 and every Sunday at 8 starting July 5th. And this party will be lights-out-over-the-top as our Arizona blues brother, HoneyBoy Dupree joins Lee Fink and friends, on stage and many, many more... and there is a distinct possibility we'll be joined by a very special surprise guest as well. Watch your email and circle your calendar.Happy Birthday America! We'll see you on the 5th of July.Keeping it real,Ned

5th of July with HoneyBoy Dupree @ AMERICAN ROOTS LIVE WITH NASTY NED

Roots Review 34 by Nasty Ned

My last week in Arizona ended on a high note when HoneyBoy Dupree and I joined Paris James, Mikel Lander, Jack Straw, Arizona Blues Hall of Famer, Hans Olsen and others at the Robert Johnson Blues Foundation Benefit Concert at the Rhythm Room in Phoenix, hosted by Paris.


A great time was had by all who packed the room on a Sunday night to hear great roots music from some of Arizona's hottest performers and one snowbird.

Earlier in the week - Wednesday, night before Thanksgiving - Dupree and I celebrated American Roots Live 34 with some awesome musicians at hot-spot, Bobby C's Jazz Lounge and Grille downtown in the shadow of the Arizona Diamondback's baseball stadium.

I blew some harp, but man there were some great pro performances by Paris James (pic) playing guitar and singing his heart out, Dupree on bass, Adam Clark; drums, the renowned Raul Yanez on Hammond B3 organ and piano. Raul Yanez has serious chops and his music deep, deep soul. Javier Yanez on bass, Tony Valensuela; congas, Duwall Davis; drums, 18 year old, Ryan Dingess; keys and other players and rooters from all around the country.

Everyone had a great time and left for the their holidays with an Elmore Magazine and the spirit of the music in their hearts. Many thanks to Bobby and Joy Clayton for their interest and genuine hospitality.

Then it was off to Nogales, Mexico Thursday for a Thanksgiving dinner of cheese enchiladas, beans and rice.

But it all started Sunday, the 26th, when HoneyBoy Dupree & the Smokehouse Players walked away with another Arizona Music Award for their knock-out performance at the Rhythm Room. Dupree was a crowd favorite that day and I had a blast joining him on stage to do a little blowin' and shoutin' of my own.

There where many stand-out performances including (now on his way to Memphis) Mikel Lander, a 25 year old, lefty guitarist and singer who does a great, original Robert Johnson thing, Arizona Blues Hall of Famer, Tommy Dukes, a 13 year old guitar phenom named Kevin KC Blues and many more. KC is sure to carry the roots torch into the future for generations to come. This was the Phoenix Blues Society's biggest day of the year.

Roots Review 28 by Nasty Ned

How do you define "spirit"?
As a noun you could say spirit is someone's soul, but when you imply someone "has spirit," then defining spirit includes the measure of a person's positive energy, their will, strength, dedication, determination, humility, ability, motivation, inspiration, good sense, faith, humor, honor, decency, respect, respectability, and myriad other intangible character traits.

John Powers has spirit - and without which, American Roots Live would not be where it is today.

Wednesday night's American Roots Live 28 at Crossroads in Garwood, NJ, was like a cross between an Alan Freed's traveling all stars shows of the 50's and a music festival with 30 names on the bill and continuous music. ARL 28 didn't resemble an open mic, although, it was.

Quality act after quality act showed their spirit on our stage before an appreciative audience in an SRO house. And by the time individual musicians came together to play, they were all notable, accomplished performers that sounded like rehearsed bands.

There really is no other show like American Roots Live.

Getting us started and setting the tone for a great night of music was John Powers, EJ Rice and Josh Gebhardt, then The Wiliamzboy with his rhythmic, well crafted songs.(pic)




















Then Tweed Schade & the Sugar Daddies with Cochise, John, and Gar Francis had us rockin' down that Raritan Line.
Look out Easton, here comes Tweed Schade & the Sugar Daddies.

























Then it was Kelly Caruso's turn to take the stage with Daddy Mike on bass Johnny Charles, guitar, Walter Bordonaro, saxophone, Powers on drums and JR Bradfield, guitar.

Kelly (pic below) displayed strong, disciplined vocals as she performed like a star and looked even better than she does in this pic taken by Ed Pampani back in August.















Then came the ARL right hook, all the way from Athens, Greece via NYC, arriving by car with bassist Margery Peters, was Spiros Soukis - my friend from cyber roots. Spiros tore the house up with authentic, rockin' American blues guitar and Clapton-like vocals. Look out Easton, here comes Spiros.

















With BB in the house and OREO in the dim lit room, Dean Shot made his first visit to ARL and we were honored. Dean ripped it up with Jimmy Somma, Freddie Farrow and Walter Foot then invited Bones Sanford to play a little harp on one. We had the "Newark Hillbilly" Robert Z, Ed Pampani, Monsters of Mojo; Jorge, John & John, Bob Brienza, Brad Sicotte, Screamin' Mimi Nowak, Arlene Schar (pic), Soup Boy and more..."














I am so proud of our American Roots Movement and I'm so proud of you.

Then we Loaded the caravan on Thursday and moved American Roots Live 28 to the Bluetone Cafe in Easton, PA. We tore it up again AND with "more "back to back" awards in order - this time for John Powers, Johnny Charles, Bernie BB Brauswetter and Robert Z - Bluetone was smokin'.

Another good crowd on hand eating Aaron's burgers, southern fried chicken, cheese mac and sweet potato fires served up by Christine and kickin back to listen to the incredible music swirling through the room by John Powers, Keith McGonigle, Hot Pat, Billy K, Jaimo Flynn from Big Daddy and the Wild Cats, Bernie BB Brauswetter, Rob "Rock" Bianco, Vern Mobley from Fussion Jazz Trio, Johnny Charles, Sonny Young, Robert Z, Jeff Bennison, Randall Smith, Ken Barry, Arne Englund, Rob Fraser from Mike Dugan's Blues Mission, Andy McGregor, Nick T, Roman, Paul Berger from Can't Stop Now, Keith Jr... Keith Sr.. we even had WDIY's Stewart Brodian and Arlene Schar in the house.

Thanks to Joe Karam, Lee Frankel, our sponsors, supporters, friends and volunteers and ambassadors Powers, Duane Chez and HoneyBoy Dupree.

We'll look for you at American Roots Live 29 nearest you, or maybe even see you back to back - that's double the fun!

Keeping it real,

Ned
