John Fusco’s third recording outing, an authentic, fun, and often hard-hitting collection that, again, demonstrates his unique cinematic style. While still rooted in blues, gospel, and country-rock, Borderlands draws on Fusco’s deep, long-time affinity with the American West. Or as Fusco, himself, puts it: The wild west soul of America.

Michael Locke was raised in South Florida and began playing guitar when he was seven. Michael’s father was a jazz aficionado and saturated Michael with the genius of artists such as Lester Young, Count Basie, Sonny Rollins, Coleman Hawkins, Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Sonny Stitt and, Michael’s mentors – Ira Sullivan and Joe Diorio. Michael attended the University of Miami, majoring in Jazz Guitar. But then he heard the Blues! He found that in Blues music he could completely and freely express himself. He moved to San Francisco in the early 90’s and fell under the tutelage of his now close friend and longtime bluesman, Johnny Nitro. Thanks to Johnny’s encouragement, Michael developed his own style and set off on his own to front an electric blues trio.

The Ray Fuller Band was formed in 1974, evolving into Ray Fuller and the Bluesrockers in 1978, releasing a self-titled album on vinyl, and Fuller has not looked back since. Mastering his craft throughout the ’80s and ’90s, Fuller was quick to become the “go to” act throughout Ohio to open for iconic blues musicians such as Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Buddy Guy and more.

MUDDY WATERS after witnessing an opening act performance by Fuller exclaimed for all to hear, “That was some hot slide boy, I could smell the smoke backstage!”

JOHN LEE HOOKER was so impressed that he took Ray Fuller as his special guest at his next show! Fuller released Something Shakin’ in 1984 and Damn Guitars in 1989, which was quick to become a top seller for Rounder Records, followed by Ray Fuller and the Bluesrockers Live in 1992. In 1995, touring paused with the demise of Fuller’s first marriage which ended in true blues fashion.

Fuller went on to release Pearlene in 1997, Twist of Fate in 1999, and in 2003 Live Rockin’ the Blues. In 2010, Fuller played his first overseas show at the Vodacom Ampitheatre in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, and began focusing on his passion for slide guitar, playing in his own style which has been compared to and inspired by Elmore James, Hound Dog Taylor and even Earl Hooker (cousin of John Lee Hooker). Fuller found himself in demand with renewed focus on his unique style of “Rockin’ Slide Guitar Blues,” playing major blues festivals in the USA, Canada and Europe. In 2011, Fuller released Piece of Work on the Azuretone Record Label. In 2014 Fuller had the rare honor of recording Ray Fuller and the Bluesrockers LIVE at Buddy Guy’s Legends. In 2014 and 2016 Fuller crisscrossed Europe, with audiences demanding as many as five encores! In 2016, Fuller released Long Black Train in Europe a month early to coincide with his Europe Tour; its official release was in October 2016. Ray Fuller and the Bluesrockers’ new release, PAY THE PRICE on Azuretone Records, has a release date of May 28, 2019. Pay The Price shows promise to be the crown jewel of Fuller’s 40-year career. Pre-release reviews have called it “outstanding,” praising Fuller’s seasoned, clear vocals and tight rhythm section while, as American Blues Scene put it “leaving listeners both breathless and thirsty for more!

Album: Problem & Remedy | Listen & Download - https://dustradio1.bandcamp.com/album/problem-remedy | Lyrics: 
I got no more trouble from you
Done all the bad days I’m gonna do
I got no more trouble from you
Done all the bad days I’m gonna do
And if I never make it back home no more
May the long nights help you through

Tried to keep you by my side
Working my bones all day
That ring slipped from your finger too many times
Till I finally gone and lost my way
I got no more trouble from you
Done all the bad days I’m gonna do
And if I never make it back home no more
May the long nights help you through

Used to think the sun walked beside you
Shows just how little I know
Gave up guessing why people do what they do
A long time ago

I got no more trouble from you
Done all the bad days I’m gonna do
And if I never make it back home no more
May the long nights help you through

“High-octane music delivered with passion – a formidable band” Bernard Doherty (Planet Rock, Blues Power Show) 

Formed during the global pandemic of 2020, Dust Radio are a rootsy, blues-driven duo, comprising of Paddy Wells on Harmonica and Tom Jackson on Guitar.  This band have already attracted the attention from the UK Blues scene. Heavily shaped by the blues masters of the past, their style is steeped in the sound of Southern blues, with traces of Americana and contemporary rock ‘n’ roll.

‘Problem & Remedy’ consistently serves the song with subtle dynamics that leave plenty of space. They let a lyric breath via delicate tones, undulating melodies and enveloping grooves, while reshaping their own brand of noir filled down-home blues and Americana.

And in Paddy Wells they have a harp playing lyricist with the technique and feel to bend his notes and fully realise melodic possibilities.

They have been described as “raw and rootsy blues” and like Moreland & Arbuckle before them, they focus primarily on story telling narratives.  However, unlike the latter they never stray too far from interwoven musical patterns that eschew relentless boogie or heavy riff led bluster.

Their use of eclectic wordplays and phrases, steely riffs and deep grooves operates in the same way a painter might apply different pressures to their brush strokes in creating their art. -

Album:  Language Of Your Soul - https://robinbibiband.co.uk/ Lyrics: 
I’m listening to the sound of the rain 
That lonesome sound against my window pain 
Yeah yeah, like I cried over you 
World keeps turning, 
And I got these Up All Night Vampire Blues 

Can’t sleep In the night 
Got to keep myself out of sight of the light 
Yeah , keeps me from crying about you 
World keeps turning 
I got these Up All Night Vampire Blues 

Been so long , I’m not free 
Your Devil spell’s still got its hooks here in me
Yeah yeah , the nights are so long and blue
World keeps turning 
I got these Up All Night Vampire Blues 

Another Sleepless nights passed by 
I’m so tired of this feeling, I wish I could die 
Oh yeah , I know you got your troubles too 
The world keeps turning 
I got these Up All Night Vampire Blues 
( I’m howling at the moon ! ) 

The Robin Bibi Band was born in the late 90s when Robin was inspired to start his own Texas Style Blues/ Rock band after having worked as a session man with such arists as the Pretty Things, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, Ben E. King and Helen Shapiro to name but a few.

The Band released their debut Album “Blue Thrash Therapy” in late 1997. Mainly blues standards with a couple of notable original songs thrown in. This album received AirPlay straight away from Paul Jones in his Jazz FM show and the band started to become popular in the live circuit. The follow up, “Language of Your Soul”, a work of mainly original material, was released to more critical acclaim in 2000. Since then – and 8 more albums and a DVD later – the Robin Bibi Band have established themselves as one of the UK’s hardest working and most popular bands in their genre and Robin had been widely recognised as one of the UK’s finest Blues / Rock guitarists!

The band have played all the major UK blues festivals and have toured in Europe, Ireland, Scandinavia and the USA! Robin is at present signed to Ashwood Records and has recently released what’s considered to be his best album yet “No More A Secret”, the first album of exclusively Robin Bibi originals. This album received rave reviews and extensive AirPlay including considerable airings on BBC Radio 2. It peaked at number 2 in the IBBA playlist.

Robin has been nominated by the British Blues awards in several categories and won an award for best Guitar Solo from the WRC! The band continue their never ending mission to spread their own personal brand of music and to entertain and lift the spirits of their audiences ..

Language Of Your Soul

Robin Bibi – Up All Night Vampire Blues

Matt T Mahony (BE), artist name of Matti De Rijcke, is a guitarist, singer and songwriter located in Ghent's thriving music scene. Since the early days of blues and roots club Missy Sippy, he has organized the now legendary 'Sunday Sessions' every first Sunday of the month. As host, he always puts the heat on his guests. Besides the extremely talented Missy Sippy All Stars, a lot of established names have joined him on stage: Steven De Bruyn, Alan Gevaert,... up to and including Guido Belcanto.
It was also in this club that Matt T met the skilled harmonica player Steven Troch. Matt T became permanent guitarist with the Steven Troch Band and in addition to many concerts in the benelux, they won the Belgian Blues Challenge at the end of 2019. The same year he released his own first EP 'Matt T Mahony : live at Missy Sippy'. Here some review quotes : "Honest, delicious blues that we can never get enough of." (Luminous Dash) "Five songs, one word...Amazing!" (Rootsville), "Matt T Mahony sings and hits the strings like the big boys do." (Jazz & Mo')
Finally, the release of the long-awaited new album is here! 'Good man blues' represents a wandering in search of a lost sense of home. The artwork was created by designer Mark Schmeitz. He drew inspiration from one of Matt T Mahony's favorite films, Wim Wenders' 'Paris, Texas'. In a melancholic mood, you cast your eyes on an arid landscape where the scorching heat makes you wonder if it is reality or rather a reflection or shadow you see. 
The music reflects this feeling just fine. A blues-dripping guitar, cutting harmonica, deep grooves at the bass and exotic rhythms in the drums provide the foundation for Matt T Mahony's songs. You hear a clear foundation of blues tradition but also wild organic improvisations that lean more towards Jazz. It’s a fresh innovative wind blowing through the blues landscape. It's as if El Fish merged with Dans Dans to form a reincarnation! Or Marc Ribot taking The Black Keys under his wing.

Kirk Fletcher - Silver Spoon

You know once there was a sunshine, well that lightened up my life
And she talked to me in sweet words and she's making my heart alive
You know her eyes are full of passion, but deep inside is a pain
Because she knew our love wouldn't last as tears started to rain
Please believe me, ooh believe me when I cry
You can see there is a reason, You can see there is a reason
Deep inside is your pain because you knew our love wouldn't last
Oooh bay, that why i cry those tears...
Every night i picture,
Well i picture all the things that could have been
We where so happy together, how did our love come to an end
You know johhny walker is my best friend, he keeps me company
And every time i feel sad, well he burns down my memory
Please believe me, ooh believe me when i cry
You can see there is a reason, You can see there is a reason
Deep inside is your pain because you knew our love wouldn't last
Oooh baby, ooh baby ... WHY, WHY
Baby can you tell me, can you tell me
Did i drive you tot hat other man
Ooh i really want you to give me a second chance
Ooh please baby, ooh please cause i thought it was a romance
Please believe me, ooh believe me when i cry
You can see there is a reason, You can see there is a reason
Deep inside is your pain because you knew our love wouldn't last
Oooh baby, ooh baby ... WHY, WHY, WHY
