• Bootleg: Live at Blues Rules 2010, Crissier, Switzerland is Scissormen’s fourth, just-released album. The disc, which captures the band on stage in May, is the first in a series of limited-run fan club releases also available at Amazon and iTunes to the general public.
• Scissormen have an international reputation for fiery live performances based on leader Ted Drozdowski’s incendiary slide guitar. They have been featured at Bonnaroo, France’s Cognac Blues Passions, Memphis in May and other major festivals. They’ve also been played on more than 140 radio stations in the U.S. Drozdowski also teaches slide guitar clinics and has an award from the Blues Foundation for writing about the music. He was consultant for the PBS series Martin Scorsese Presents: The Blues.
QUOTES:
The late roots music legend Jim Dickinson said, "Ever wonder what would have happened if Bukka White had discovered the Fuzz Tone? Or if Skip James had played piano with Antenna Jimmy and Drumbo from the Magic Band? Scissormen is acid blues for the 21st century."
“Mind blowing shows…incredible slide guitar work…Luck in a Hurry propels the raw, ethereal sounds of Mississippi hill country blues into the 21st century with Scissormen's take no prisoners approach. Simply put, if you're a hill country or slide guitar fan, this disc will blow your doors off their hinges."--Blues Bytes
"Both on record and in live performance, Ted Drozdowski is a guitarist of spellbinding invention and intelligence. His slide playing shears the skin off your bones, and he can unleash roaring gales of sound. But lyricism and
musicality lie at the heart of even his wildest moments. I have never
listened to him and not been transported to a strange, beautiful place I'd never been before."--Rolling Stone’s Anthony DeCurtis
