“The blues is a mighty long road. Or it could be a river, one that twists and turns and flows into a sea of limitless musical potential."
~ Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top)
Yes, this week I have the blues.
But in a good way! Leading up to my blues band side project, ‘Tuco’s Grill’ playing its debut gig on March 6, I take a look at everything blue and share some exclusive, unreleased demos along the way, as well as some vintage recordings from the Melbourne live scene in the 90s.
Lord have mercy!
Tuco’s Grill @ Club Altona
Sun 6th March, 3.30pm
113 Civic Parade, Altona
