Wow! Two GREAT blues gigs brought to you by Bullfrog Blues Club at The R.M.A., Tavern, Cromwell Rd., Eastney, Portsmouth. this week! On Thursday (June 29) we've got DENISE MARIE, all the way from New Orleans.Denise plays acoustic and tenor guitar, combining finger-picking, strumming and slide styles. Since Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, Denise has decided to stay in Europe for the time being. She recently played Barking Spider's first blues promotion in Southern Ireland, to great acclaim! She will also be playing at The Southsea Folk & Roots Festival free blues afternoon on August Bank Holiday. Denise recently released her third CD "Aphrodite and Outlaws", thirteen original songsof bayou blues, swampy jazz, roots and world music - "Offbeat" Magazine reviewed the album, saying "Once again, Marie raises the bar of personal excellence." Unfortunately The David Raphael Band are unable to appear on Saturday's advertised gig (July 1st), but I'm delighted to tell you of JON AMOR will be appearing instead. Fans of the two sadly defunct blues rock giants AMOR and THE HOAX will be in seventh heaven, when Jon, the front man of both these acclaimed bands, will be there to perform a set of acoustic blues, including some original material released on his new CD. And best of all, admission is FREE!!!.
