ROOTS REVIEW 15 FROM NASTY NED
Monday
Roots Review 15
46 musicians signed up to participate in American Roots 15, and though I'm blown away by that - both honored and elated - I'm sorry to say that only 42 musicians actually got up to play with some having to leave before their turns came up. To those players I say; "come on back y'all - let's try to slot you earlier next time".
Special thanks go to Big Boy Kenny Nerbak and Arne Englund for their efforts to shore-up our debut at the Bluetone Cafe in Easton, PA in September is a success AND major props again to John Powers for his tireless contributions to the American Roots movement across the board.
Duane Chez continues to lay the ground work for our American Roots invasion of Puerto Rico and Honey Boy Dupree, the ground work in Arizona. And yes folks, Honey Boy Dupree will be joining us in-person for American Roots 18 and 19 and the scheduled television shoot on August 12. (More on that very soon.)
Please encourage all of your friends - players or music fans - to go to www.nastyned.com to join the email list as there are a truck load of major announcements coming about all the roots rockin' fun in store for you in the very near future - you'll not want to miss the "word" when it comes down.
Stand out performances at American Roots 15 belong to John Powers & the Arturos, JR Bradfield, Arne Englund, Sue T, Lori V, Kelly Caruso, Mike Caruso, Bernie Brauswetter, Rob Fraser, Joe Iantosca, Ed Pampani, Tom and Eric Plotkin, Liz Moody, Snakeman Runyan, Jim Cimino and Kathrine Viksne of Atypical Situation, Alan Rogoff, Tommy Fuller, Len DePiano, Arlene Schar, Gavin Lawrence, Mondo Distorto, Gene Downin, Paul Deloia and all those who hit the stage way after the sign up sheet was completely full of autographs - yes - American Roots 15 was absolutely over the top.
So many thanks go to our dedicated volunteers and to all those who go the extra mile for the American Roots movement; Elmore Magazine, Richard Skelly, Win, Mary Anne, Ed Pampani, Robert, Jeff Page, Johnny Charles, Amelia Lang, Rotten Robert, JR Bradfield, Jim Beckerman, Jamo Flynn, Johnny "Flame" Thompson and others already mentioned. Together we are making a difference.
For those of you not already hip to Elmore Magazine (Saving American Music) click on their link at the top of this page and check them out. And while your there, get your subscription - I got mine! You'll love it.
Thanks to the Rail: Amanda, Sara, Jessica, Byron, Evan, Nick and all the rest.
See you at American Roots 16. Remember, there is never a cover charge at American Roots Live, but your generous donations are greatly appreciated and are what get you those little raffle tickets that allow you to win cool prizes like dinner & drink certs, concert tickets, autographed harmonicas and all kinds of other neat stuff.
Keeping it real,
Ned

Syd Barrett, Founder of Pink Floyd, Dies he was 60years old
LONDON Jul 11, 2006 (AP)— Syd Barrett, the troubled genius who co-founded Pink Floyd but spent his last years in reclusive anonymity, has died, a spokeswoman for the band said Tuesday. He was 60.
The spokeswoman who declined to give her name until the band made an official announcement confirmed media reports that he had died. She said Barrett died several days ago, but she did not disclose the cause of death. Barrett had suffered from diabetes for many years.

AMERICAN ROOTS REVIEW 14 BY NASTY NED
I am more and more amazed each and every week at the momentum being gained by our American Roots movement. I am also blown away by the passion and supreme contribution of John Powers & the Arturos and the sincerity of others who have stepped forward to volunteer where ever needed and I am continuously humbled by those who simply say, "thank you," or "this American Roots thing is so much fun", or "I can't wait for Thursday nights to get here."
I must also say that the musicians who show up to play just for the fun of it - young or old - veteran or beginner - have given me and Powers and the rest of us so much joy that I find it hard to put into words sometimes. There really is no other show like our American Roots celebration anywhere!
Week after week I am honored to play with some of the most incredibly talented and well know musicians on the circuit and am continuously blown away by the sweet, awesome, powerful and soulful sounds coming from our stage.
I am happy to say that American Roots is expanding into Easton, PA in September at the Bluetone Cafe - the Lehigh Valley's #1 Blues and Roots club - and soon there after expanding into New York State. Yes, there will be three American Roots open mic celebrations each week; one in New Jersey, one in Pennsylvania and one in New York - and this also comes with plans to bring special monthly shows: The American Roots All Stars to places like San Juan, Puerto Rico where our American Roots Ambassador Duane Chez will play the lead role and into places like Pheonix, Arizona where AmRoots Ambassador Honey Boy Dupree is already hard at work behind the scenes.
Many, many thanks go to The Rail ownership, management and staff: Nick, Mike, Lynn, Amanda, Sarah, Jessica, Byron and Evan and to the tireless volunteers and supporters, whom without, we could not be moving forward so quickly; Ed Pampani, Mary Anne, Win, Amelia and Eddie Ray. Thank you.
Kudos to the awesome players at last week's American Roots 14 (too numerous to describe their wonderful performances in detail) but they are: Ambassador John Powers, EJ, Jeff Page, Johnny Charles, JR Bradfield, Billy K, Arlene Schar, Robert (who I must thank for that intense little harp mic he built for me from a 1960's tape recorder - it sounds great) Mike Caruso, Pancakes, Alan Rogoff, Marco Dulce, The Stephania Stream, Tommy Hayes, Jim Somma, Big Boy Kenny Nerbak, Alan Rogoff, Rotten Robert, Arne Englund, Sue T, Chris O'Sullivan, Gene Downin, Tony, Brad Sicotte, Bernie Brauswetter, Paul Deloya and Gavin Lawrence - you are all stars in my book and I appreciate you all more than you know. Thank you.
I hope to see you again this Thursday at American Roots 15 and please... tell everyone you know, that if they're not celebrating American Roots music with us each week, they really don't know what they are missing!
Keeping it real,
Ned

american roots 13 review by nasty ned
Roots Review 13
Happy Birthday AmericaAmerican Roots 13 was a rousing success. We had an eclectic group of top notch musicians sharing in the fun from JR Bradfield's Star Spangled Banner to his pre war finger picking blues to the electric blues of John Powers with EJ on Drums, Mike Caruso on Bass and Jeff Page on guitar - they really put it down - to the American Roots Sellers string band (sans a drummer)featuring Andy B from the VooDUDEs and Marco Dulce of Night Train. Man they really laid down some very refreshing country folk stylings complete with fiddle, mandoline and four part harmonies. Then it was Nasty Ned and Michael Krizan playing their electric brand of post war blues and then; the roof was blown off by Kelly Caruso backed by her father Mike on bass, Johnny Charles, Jeff Page on Guitar and Alan Rogoff on keys.This was certainly the night of the divas as we heard Kelly Caruso, Lori V and Kate weber singing their tails of. It was also the night of the guitar wizards, including John Powers, Jeff Page, Johhny Charles, Michael Krizan and others.Mentions and thanks have to go to all the awesome players - forty all total - including Jamo Flynn, Jake Jar el, Walter Foot, Ed Pampani(a pleasant symmetry), Michael Arthurs, Snakeman Runyun, Alan Rogoff, Billy K, Tom Plotkin, Eric Plotkin, Liz Moody, Rotton Robert, Bones Sanders, Gavin Lawrence, Ron Michaels nad Wayne Walcot on trunpet and trombone and many, many more.We had players from as far away as the hills of Pennsylvania to th ecaverns of New York City. This is starting to really get wild. You'll not want to miss next week.

KATE WEBER AND FRIENDS
June 3rd - First Ellery's Open Mic
NEXT OPEN MIC SATURDAY JUNE 10TH
A WORD FROM KATE WEBER
Band Members Kate Weber - Vocalist & MCJohn Caruana - BassEd Pampani - Drums (A PLEASANT SYMMETRY)JR Bradfield - GuitarMike Masucci - Keyboards
What can I say? The first Ellery's Saturdays of Summer Open Mic Night was awesome!!! The night was full of all kinds of great music - from Indy acoustic rock to blues to classic rock. We even had Ellery's regular, Johnny C, get up and do a slammin' version of Lee Roy Brown! Paul N. played a mean bass along with JR Bradfield on guitar and Jeff K on drums. When Mike Masucci came up to play keys, all bets were off! They did an amazing medly of songs that had everyone singing along Local acoustic duo, Jessica and Milan stunned the entire bar with their powerful originals - we hope to see them again soon. Subject to Change made short work of some Bob Segar, Black Crowes, and Tina Turner, with Ed P and Brad backing them up on drums.
Many thanks to Ed Pampani and The BassBoards, who graciously lugged all of their equipment to the bar and allowed everyone to jam on it. They did a great job backing up anyone that wanted to play! Thanks also to my hubby, Mark Weber, for backing me up on some acoustic stuff and loaning out his amp
Many, many thanks to Angela and Justin, the bartenders for the evening, and to John Ellery, for taking the chance on a Saturday open mic night. We gave away some cool hats, T-shirts, and other goodies. Every Saturday, we'll be raffling off everything from T-shirts to tickets. You will just have to come to find out!
Remember - this Open Mic is every Saturday night in June and July! All musicians are welcome - any level, any style!!!!
Hope to see you next week!

NEXT OPEN MIC SATURDAY JUNE 10TH
A WORD FROM KATE WEBER
Band Members Kate Weber - Vocalist & MCJohn Caruana - BassEd Pampani - Drums (A PLEASANT SYMMETRY)JR Bradfield - GuitarMike Masucci - Keyboards
What can I say? The first Ellery's Saturdays of Summer Open Mic Night was awesome!!! The night was full of all kinds of great music - from Indy acoustic rock to blues to classic rock. We even had Ellery's regular, Johnny C, get up and do a slammin' version of Lee Roy Brown! Paul N. played a mean bass along with JR Bradfield on guitar and Jeff K on drums. When Mike Masucci came up to play keys, all bets were off! They did an amazing medly of songs that had everyone singing along Local acoustic duo, Jessica and Milan stunned the entire bar with their powerful originals - we hope to see them again soon. Subject to Change made short work of some Bob Segar, Black Crowes, and Tina Turner, with Ed P and Brad backing them up on drums.
Many thanks to Ed Pampani and The BassBoards, who graciously lugged all of their equipment to the bar and allowed everyone to jam on it. They did a great job backing up anyone that wanted to play! Thanks also to my hubby, Mark Weber, for backing me up on some acoustic stuff and loaning out his amp
Many, many thanks to Angela and Justin, the bartenders for the evening, and to John Ellery, for taking the chance on a Saturday open mic night. We gave away some cool hats, T-shirts, and other goodies. Every Saturday, we'll be raffling off everything from T-shirts to tickets. You will just have to come to find out!
Remember - this Open Mic is every Saturday night in June and July! All musicians are welcome - any level, any style!!!!
Hope to see you next week!
Keep on rockin' -

Roots Review 9
Roots Review 9
American Roots 9 was another exciting musical celebration with stand out performances by many of the biggest names on this area's music scene.Special mentions have to go to JR Bradfield for his solo entertainment to kick the night off, then his inspiring rendition of the Star Spangeled Banner played on a guitar he built himself from an old tree stump in his back yard. JR Bradfield's dedication and enthusiasm for our roots movement is inspiring in itself.John Powers, the young standout guitarst, vocalist and drummer was amazing and, I'm happy to say he will be my American Roots guest host partner again next week. John Powers is someone you need to make an effort to come out and see folks so you can at least say, "you knew him when" because I'm telling you, JP is going somewhere. Many thanks to him and his band the Arturos for their huge efforts in helping keep the roots alive.We also celebrated Tommy Fuller's 60th birthday at roots 9 with a cake and song and although he only came out that night to listen and enjoy the music he could not ignore the pleas from the crowd of fans for him to play so he took the stage like the professional entertainer that he is and put on the performance of his life. If you've ever seen this consumate performer do his thing before - you can imagine how GREAT Tommy Fuller was this night.So many awesome players did their thing that night I would like to thank them (in no particular order) and hope I don't leave anybody out: Johnny Charles, Ed Pampani, Mike Caruso, Snakeman Runyan, Rotten Robert, Pat Mullen, Jim Somma, Tommy Haze, Brad Sicotte, Kate Weber, Bones Sandford, Alan Rogoff, Len De Piano, Sal Cheech, Todd Lanka and good 'ol BB; Bernie Brauswetter - all awesome people - thank you.Many special thanks again go to The Rail ownership, management and staff, Mike, Lynn, Sarah, Amanda, Jessica, Byron, and especially my American Roots compadre Nick Wasco for bending over backwards for our American Roots movement. Nick is a visionary and sees the big picture - for this and more - we all love him.And don't forget the American Roots BB King Steak dinner special at The Rail. It's a 20 oz. porterhouse steak with baby field green salad and skewered red potatoes seasoned just right, and it's only available on Roots night.So folks please make sure you come early and get a great seat, enjoy the awesome food - then the awesome music.Very special thanks to Eddie Ray of Computown Technologies in South Bound Brook for his tireless efforts and Ed Pampani and Win.Please continue to help keep American Roots music alive for the next generations. I thank you.See you Thursday at American Roots 10 - then I'm off for a few days of blues in the rainforest with our good friend Duane Chez in Puerto Rico (so posting Roots Review 10 may be delayed a bit) but I'll be back for American Roots 11 for another night of our exciting, ongoing American Roots celebration.And remember, you never know who you're going to meet down at the station.Keeping it real,Ned

AMERICAN ROOTS 7
American Roots 7 was a rousing success thanks again to our good friends and guest hosts, Kate Weber and the Bassboards Blues Band - and all of the special musicians who showed up to celebrate music.Again we had to deal with a Main St. detour, but you all made it - thank you for your effort. Story has it, the night before, a transformer blew somewhere blacking out the Rail sending flames shooting from the manhole covers on Main Street out front. But, I'll say this, the music on Thursday night was hotter than any flames I've ever seen.A highlight of the night was when 15 year old Steve Shallis got on stage with his guitar and stood shoulder to shoulder with legendary guitarist Johnny Charles and Snakeman Runyan. He played his young ass off as his proud father watched from the audience. The kid has feel and he is in touch with his musical roots.This is what the American Roots movement is all about!Thanks to the players that night including Shallis, Charles and Runyan, Lori V, Gene Downin, Mike Caruso, Michael Krizan, Justin, Bernie Brauswetter, Jr Bradfield with another stand out perfromance, Walter Foot, Ed Pampani, Bill Bauer, Cheesecake Bill, Bones Sandford, Walter Foot, Mike Marrucci and again, if I have not mentioned you here, I am sorry. Send me an email.Special thanks again go to The Rail ownership, management and staff, Sarah, Amanda, Jessica, Byron, and especially Nick. Thanks to Eddie Ray of Computown Technologies in South Bound Brook for his tireless efforts, Ed Pampani, Win and Anhueser Busch for the great soccer tickets we were able to give away along with the autographed harmonicas.

AMERICAN ROOTS PT 6
AMERICAN ROOTS OPEN MIC A WORD FROM NASTY NED
American Roots 6 was an evening that will not soon be forgotten.One where we said farewell to our roots brother Duane Chez, and a night of incredible, memorable performances by some of the most talented musicians and singers anywhere - and I mean anywhere!There were so many sign-ups that some didn't get to play. (I'm looking at the sign-up sheet from last night as I write this and I'm wondering who put all the x's and o's on here.) Any way - I'm very sorry that some of you didn't get a chance to play.I would like to suggest to those who didn't play send me an email at nastyned@att.net and I will personally write you in before I leave the house next Thursday. I think too, in general, emailing me ahead of time that you are coming would help because each week this party gets bigger and bigger and it's starting to get away from me. With that said, if there is anyone interested in becoming an American Roots volunteer that could help me a little with this, please email me as well. Many thanks.Two of my favorite, stand out moments last night belong to Tweed Schade and Cochise who tore the place up with their rootsy original "Ridin' that Raritan Line" (how fitting) and the Woody Guthrie classic "This land is my land" - wow! Keep an eye on the video gallery at www.nastyned.com for this.And my other favorite stand out performance was from Lee Fink and Michael Krizan who shot hot guitar licks back and forth during "Mojo" until our heads were about to explode.Special thanks to all the other special performers as well, including first and foremost Mr. Duane Chez; Mike Caruso, Copa, Plainfield Slim, Johnny Charles, Justin, Tyler Penn, Ed Pampani, oh - and least I not forget John Powers & the Arturos - another stand out performance - Kate Weber, Mark Weber, Bernie Brauswetter, Jake Jar el, Gene Downin, Jim Somma, Snakeman Runyan, Chris O'Sullivan, Rotten Robert, Arne England, good ol' Jimbeu from Jimbeu & the Retrocasters, JR Bradfield, Walter Foot - again, if I have left your name out - shoot me a nasty email.Special thanks again to The Rail ownership, management and staff, Amanda, Sarah, Jessica, Byron, Evan, Mike and especially my main man Nick. Kudos to Ed Pampani for the clicks, Eddie Ray from Computown, Win and Anheuser Busch for allowing us to give away eight pair of concert tickets to see the Marshal Tucker Band and Ten Foot Tall.Next week's guesthost band will be our old Friends Bassboards Blues Band featuring Kate Weber. And we just might get a last chance to hear Duane Chez as he may stop in on his way to the Airport. Hope to see you all there next week at American Roots 7.Keepin' it real,Ned

some more word from nasty ned
don't know what the world's record is for sign-up jammers at an open mic, but I would bet we may have rivaled that number last night as we successfully moved 31 of the most talented players you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere in the same building on and off the stage and back on again.There were so many notable players that I'll have a little trouble recalling (as I do each Friday) what exactly happened last night and with who.Today's review has to be shortened as I'm about to go tear Asbury Park a new one with Johnny Charles tonight so I'll try to catch up with the conclusion of this review over the weekend.But, just for an idea of what went on, I'll list a few of the names - if I've left out your name, please don't be offended: Duane Chez, Plainfield Slim, Snakeman Runyan, Nasty Ned & Michael Krizan, Johnny Charles, Tommy Fuller, Mike Flynn, Bernie Brauswetter, Copa, Lori V, Kate Weber, Dennis Macarone, Todd Lanka, Michael Pfeifer, JR Bradfield, Mike Caruso, Walter Foot and many, many more!We gave away a Djembe African percussion drum last night compliments of Duane Chez and 12 pair of tickets to see Blackfoot, Molly Hatchet and Dennis Peters compliments of Anheuser Busch - as matter of fact Anheuser Busch and Hieneken Light have been so supportive of American Roots they deserve a special shout-out right here.Thanks again to The Rail ownership, management and staff, Amanda, Sarah, Jessica, Byron and especially Nick. Ed Pampani, Eddie Ray of Computown Technologies, Winn and all of you wonderful roots fans, players and friends.
