Hello All, We're ready for summer festival season and once again I have Vic Baker, one of the city's finest percussionist working with me. Also joining me for shows are my good friends Harry Hmura, and Peaches Stanton along with Chicago's own Roosevelt Purifoy & Darryl Wright making up a fabulous rhythm section. I'm hoping to get in the studio with this unit as soon as possible. I'm still working part-time for a great music company "Quinlan & Fabish" but this year I should have a little more time to make the rounds so watch for me on Chicago's varied entertainment scene. I've been appearing regularly with Roosevelt at Blues Bar in Mt Prospect, Il and Tavern on LaGrange in Countryside, Il., and of course at my favorite blues bar, B.L.U.E.S. on Halsted with a dynamic quintet featuring Vic, Darryl, Roosevelt, & Harry. Look for a few more gigs with some wonderful young muscians "The New Fuse" at the Double Door, Birdsnest, Goose Island and a few other local & suburban venues. Just check my calendar for times & dates. I'd like to thank all my friends and supporters, without you I'd never have had the opportunity to follow my dream. First there's my ultimate taskmaster and fan, " Mama" who'll always be in my heart, instilled a love of all music in me at an early age, and there are people like Bill Collins who work tirelessly behind the scenes. Gail, Joanne & Big Jim, Lauri, Mike, Donna, Ivy, Margaret, Delores, and many more of you who are great friends and fans, or Dave Freeman who gave me a chance at one of Chicago's foremost jazz venues or Rob from B.L.U.E.S. who always lets me express my blues "my way", just to name a few. Thanks to all of you. Feel free to call or e-mail me for any info on booking or appearances. Hope to see your faces in any of many places. Peace & Hairgrease, Rodney |
