The Reel Blues Fest to Honor Delta Blues Legend & 2010 Lifetime Grammy Award Winner David “Honeyboy” Edwards October 8, at the House of Blues

95 year old to perform with Aerosmith’s Brad Whitford, the James Montgomery Band & more



BOSTON, MA— In honor of his 2010 Lifetime Achievement Grammy, the Reel Blues Fest presents a special tribute to legendary Delta Blues guitarist David “Honeyboy” Edwards at 7:00 PM on Friday, October 8, at the House of Blues in Boston. Edwards will be joined on stage by Aerosmith’s Brad Whitford, the James Montgomery Band featuring David Hull of the Joe Perry Project, Santana’s Mike Carabello, Barry Goudreau (former member of the band Boston), the Uptown Horns (Rolling Stones horn section), and other special guests. Ernie and the Automatics, featuring Barry Goudreau and Sib Hassian (also a former member of the band Boston), opens the show. The evening raises funds for musicians’ health care and first time filmmakers.



Honeyboy, who at age 95 still maintains a heavy touring schedule, is Robert Johnson’s only living disciple and one of the last original acoustic Delta blues players. His life has been intertwined with almost every major blues legend, including Howlin' Wolf, Lightnin' Hopkins, Muddy Waters, Charlie Patton, Big Joe Williams, Rice "Sonny Boy Williamson" Miller, Peetie Wheatstraw, Sunnyland Slim, Big Walter, Little Walter and Magic Sam. He has influenced a lifetime of musicians and won numerous awards, most recently a Grammy for Best Traditional Blues Album of 2008.



The Reel Blues Fest, Inc. is a nonprofit organization founded in 2001 by blues musician James Montgomery and Woods Hole Film Festival founder Judy Laster. Musicians who have supported the festival in the past include members of Aerosmith, Jim Belushi, Delbert McClinton, Dr. John, Dickie Betts, Koko Taylor, Robert Cray, James Cotton, and Shemekia Copeland, to name a few.

Gracie Curran and The High Falutin' Band - Live at The Tap

Gracie B. Curran & The High Fallutin’ Band
Live - The Tap
September 18th, 2010
Review by Georgetown Fats

It was a great night for blues music in the Merrimack Valley. Gracie B Curran, making her debut at The Tap in Haverhill, backed by the High Fallutin’ Band channelled Etta, Janis and others to deliver a high impact show to the assembled and disassembled masses.

With the support if Marty Phillips as a guest sax player, Tommy Carroll on guitar and band leader, Ross Liberti in drums and Geoff Murfitt on bass the high energy Gracie B Curran lead her band through sets of well travelled covers tweaked appropriately for a female vocalist.

Curran’s command of the microphone was only exceeded by her command of the crowd; full of vocal talent and sass she had already whipped the assembled crowd into a party before we had arrived. With deft ability, Curran made sure to throw bon mots to her assembled colleagues and band mates while never interrupting the flow of her own show. She owned the room with a combination of pure vocal talent and exuberance.

Almost as entertaining as the show was Curran’s handling of a a gentleman who may have had a few bad ice cubes. Allowing the gentleman ‘just enough rope’ to add to the entertainment, Curran kept her cool and never lost her command of the room.

In between sets, I also had a chance to steal away to the new club opening in the former function room for The Tap. Schedule to open in the beginning of October and featuring dedicated blues nights the room is bound to enhance an already burgeoning Haverhill music scene.
