Roots Review 22 by Nasty Ned

Roots Review 22
I'll open with thank you. Thank you to all of the people who have made a difference in our American Roots Movement. From the amazing musicians, to the volunteers and supporters, those who spread the word, the thousands of music fans who have come to enjoy the music, make donations to the band and win gifts and prizes - to all of those who embrace the cause of preserving American Roots Music - and certainly the venue owners, bookers, cooks and bartenders.

American Roots would like to thank Zupko's Tavern Theater, in particular Rich Zupko for having vision and giving us the opportunity to continue to present American Roots Live without interruption. Thanks to Lynn, Nordy, Jeff, Nick, Melissa, Dave and Jane. We'll miss you as we move and expand American Roots Live to every Wednesday night at Crossroads in Garwood, NJ beginning September 6 and every Thursday night at the Bluetone Cafe in Easton, PA beginning September 14.

Crossroads is perhaps the coolest blues and roots club in north Jersey located at 78 North Ave. Crossroads has an awesome house sound system, large stage and full concert lighting. Lee and Ronnie share the Roots Revival vision too and we're proud to be associated with them.

The Bluetone Cafe, rated the #1 blues and roots room in the Lehigh Valley is run by one of the nicest men in the business, and a real music fan. Joe has the vision, too. And both venues are destination rooms for the finest musicians in the area.

We had a blast on our last night at Zupko's, though. American Roots Live 22 introduced more fantastic new acts, namely the talented soloists Ron Dill and Maureen Gallagher and the frolicking, New Orleans style trio, This Old House. What a blast they were.

With John Powers guest hosting, The Wiliamzboy heated things up right out of the box and we were off and running - and I probably played and sang more at 22 than any other Roots Live I can remember - with John Powers and Josh Gephardt, Johnny Charles, Alan Rogoff, Greg Stier and Greg Louganis, then Arne Englund, Len DePiano and JR Bradfield. Standout performances by all of the above and including Kate Weber and Bassboards with John Caruana, Dr. Greg, Brad Sicotte, Mark Weber and Bones Sanford. We heard Bernie Brauswetter, Robert, Ed Pampani, Chaz, Arlene Schar, Bill Simmons, Paul Daloia, Ray Scro and more - it was a blast!

Special thanks to Win of Elliott Newcomb Designs, Amelia Lange, Jamie Flynn, Big Boy Kenny Nerbak, Arne Englund, Mary Anne, Seamstress Sue, Arlene, Robert, Jack Powers, Ed Pampani, Eddie Ray of Computown, Manville Music, LouMarc Signs, SDC Studios, Rich Zupko, Crossroads, Bluetone Cafe, Elmore Magazine, Richard Skelly, Jersey Shore Jazz and Blues Foundation and ambassadors John Powers, HoneyBoy Dupree and Duane Chez.

We look forward to a great opening night in Garwood with a special show planned for you with big name players and some really cool gifts and prizes including CDs, Elmore Magazines, autographed harmonicas, concert tickets and the NEW American Roots with Nasty Ned T shirts! So get your rider by your side and come down to the Crossroads - Wednesday, September 6th.

Keeping it real,

Ned

American Roots Live 21 REVIEW BY NASTY NED

American Roots Live 21 was very special in that we introduced yet another new act, American Halo, who are an all girl band playing all original music.


Well, our temporary arrangement at Zupko's Tavern Theater has come to and end with one more Tuesday show to go. We are happy to announce that on Wednesday, September 6, American Roots Live will open in it's new home at Crossroads in Garwood, NJ and run every Wednesday night there after. Crossroads not only has 5 star dining and great ambience but is known as a destination room for musicians. A real "A" venue with a large stage, concert lighting and a great house sound system. We thank Lee and Ronni from Crossroads for their cooperation and their vision - we are all very excited.

American Roots Live 21's standout performances go to John Powers & the Arturos, American Halo, Kelly Caruso, Johnny Charles, Mike Caruso, Alan Rogoff, Rich Senatore, JR Bradfield, Robert, Ed Pampani, Nathaniel Mills, Bones Sanford, Rotten Robert, Randy, Arlene Schar, Bernie Brauswetter, Rob, The Eight St. Band, Ian Christie, Jimmy Somma, Len DePiano, Lori V, Chaz and more.

Special thanks go to John Powers for his continued solid efforts to promote American Roots on and off the stage.

And special thanks to many other special people who help keep the American Roots Movement up and running, namely Win of Elliott Newcomb Designs, Amelia Lange, Jamie Flynn, Big Boy Kenny Nerback, Mary Anne, Sue, Robert, Jack Powers, Ed Pampani, Eddie Ray of Computown, Bobby Malavenda of Manville Music, LouMarc Signs, SDC Studios, Rich Zupko and new folks who have stepped forward to pledge their support (just today) - and you know who you are - thank you - and many, many thanks for support from Elmore Magazine, Richard Skelly and the Jersey Shore Jazz and Blues Foundation as well, ambassadors HoneyBoy Dupree and Duane Chez.

American Roots Live 20

American Roots Live 20 was memorable as we raised the bar again last night introducing a talented newcomer, The Wiliamzboy who played acoustic guitar and harmonica, showed lots of heart and delivered an enthusiastic solo performance of significant, original songs.

Also, HoneyBoy Dupree, ever the crowd pleaser, played his last night with us for a while. We were fortunate to have Arizona's favorite bluesman on our American Roots Live stage three times during his swing through Jersey including the live TV shoot Saturday past. We're sad to see him go but find comfort knowing he'll return again soon... and with Big Mac Mason.

Great performance efforts last night by HoneyBoy Dupree, John Powers & the Arturos, The Wiliamzboy, Snakeman Runyan, Copa, White Trash Hurricanes, Robert, Ed Pampani, Bones Sanford, Len DePiano, Evan Miggolozzi, Jimmy Somma, Bobby Malavenda, JR Bradfield, Rich Senator, Chaz, Freddie Macarone and Brad Sicotie.

Special thanks go to John Powers for his continued solid effort to promote American Roots on and off the stage.

And special thanks to other special people who help keep the American Roots Movement up and running, namely Win of Elliott Newcomb Designs, Amelia Lange, Mary Anne, Sue, Robert, Ed Pampani, Eddie Ray of Computown, Manville Music, LouMarc Signs, SDC Studios, Zupko's Tavern Theater, Uncle Wayne and our many thanks for support from Elmore Magazine, Richard Skelly and the Jersey Shore Jazz and Blues Foundation.

This is an exciting time for American Roots. Please visit again soon.

Keeping it real,

Ned

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.

OPEN MIC NiGHT TONIGHT NASTY NED AMERCIAN ROOTS

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' -
Kate
