This band is a blast,waaaay fun and truly up on the stage exuding ‘let’s just have a great time tonight aura’ .New York Minute’s trademark is versatility. From classic rock to R & B, blues, oldies, and popular music, shows are full of energy, strong harmonies, superior musicianship and fun. Band members are veteran performers of over 20 years. Billy Mitchell, (vocals, guitar, harp) and Pat Smith (vocals, rhythm) sang with the a capella group, The Hudsons: Andy Webb (vocal, bass) was formerly with Three Legged Horse, John Brough (Drums), David Furlong (lead Guitar, Vocals) and John Lombardi (Sax) have been playing decades. All agree if they could do music full time and live in the manner in which they’re accustomed, they’d do it in a New York Minute.Get it??? With tunes by Buffett,stones, Skynrd,Clapton ,James Brown Eagles, Blues Brothers and so many more- these talented and extra fun musicians will definately show us all a great time..come in for a margarita or two and boogie the night away–
SATURDAY FEBRUARY 6TH
9:30-1:00
The ‘Professor‘ is one of our finest blues/harmonica musicians. The emanations from his harmonica and vocals make it clear that Professor Harp has the blues of Texas and the whole wide Delta coursing through his veins. Primarily playing a sparse, yet full-sounding brand of no-nonsense, no-frills Texas style blues, Professor Harp specializes in what he calls, ‘roots music’. “It’s whatever makes me feel good and moves me, so to speak..” Indeed it has evolved while continuing to move audiences for decades.
Under the influence of many diverse blues greats, Professor Harp has developed a robust playing style. He often utilizes the Leslie rotating-speaker sound system to give his harp a Hammond organ timbre, while he alternately and simultaneously employs the standard or traditional ‘electrified’ blues harp. The Professor tops this off by singing the blues with an infectious fervor, supported at his strictest insistence by only top-flight musicians on guitar, bass, and drums. Professor Harp performed with various bands throughout the Northeast including legends Solomon Burke and Luther ‘Guitar Jr.’ Johnson and played live on NBC’s Today Show. Among the legions of hot performances at rocking blues clubs, the memories that often stand out for The Professor are the nights his harp helped to swell the room, in a spontaneous jam with his old mentor, the inimitable bluesman Muddy Waters. It was the spring of ‘75 when a friend first introduced Hugh to Muddy Waters. Following his friend backstage at Boston’s Paul’s Mall, he found Muddy immersed in a game of Casino with bassist Calvin Jones. Muddy was unresponsive when it was suggested that Hughie Holmes should sit in on a few numbers. Holmes and his friend backed off.
So come on in and enjoy this ’special treat’ night with us this this Saturday
