Formed in Boston in the late 90s, Mr. Airplane Man (Margaret Garrett on guitar, slide guitar, and vocals, and Tara McManus on drums, vocals, and occasional Farfisa organ) was sprung from the same swamp that spit out the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Gun Club, and Morphine, and were delivered by the Holy Spirit to the Temple of the Blues and Boogie, final resting place for their heroes, Fred McDowell, Jesse Mae Hemphill, and Howlin’ Wolf. 
Their uniquely sexy swamp blues, psychedelic pop, and other-worldly spirituals quickly earned them a huge following, and they toured extensively with like-minded miscreants such as the White Stripes, the Dirt Bombs, the Reigning Sound, the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs, and many more, releasing three full-length albums of hypnotic blues and idiosyncratic rock and roll for infamous label Sympathy for the Record Industry, not to mention two sessions on the BBC for the legendary John Peel. Their music has been featured in a variety of TV shows and films, including multiple episodes of The L Word and the film Crazy Eyes. After taking a break to have babies and create other untold chaos, Mr. Airplane Man is back to deliver the goods, a much needed cure for these troubled times.

The Big Mess Blues Band was playing on the streets of New Orleans from the early 80s to the mid 2000s (sometimes under alternate band names). It centered around Augie Rodola Jr but in his absence was often led by other members, who were an ever-changing group totaling around 50 musicians over the years. Notables included “Washboard” Lissa Driscoll, Pablo Winfrey, Jeff Zima, Butch Trivette, Steve Lewins, Andy Kaufman, Manny Renov, Jerry Barbarin Anderson, Paul Kemnitz, Randy Torgerson, Mickey Bones, Tommy Oliver, Alan Rigg, Tommy Ray, Sarabeth “Wildflower” Peters, Corey Harris, Kenny Holladay, Scott Kirby, Bobby Lewis, John Duff and Jeremy Lyons. Augie died of cirrhosis of the liver in (or around) 2012. Lissa and Kenny have also since passed, as well as several other members. With few exceptions over the years the Big Mess played exclusively on the streets of New Orleans’ French Quarter. Whether this was entirely by their choice or by happenstance is perhaps up to the debate, but the band had a strict philosophy of doing whatever the hell they felt like at the moment. So. Perhaps not completely house trained. This is a tribute account to the Big Mess as well as associated acts, such as Butch Trivette, Jeremy Lyons, Lissa Driscoll and Kenny Holladay.
