 13th Annual Billtown Blues Festival, Hughesville PA - June 9th, 2002
As part of winning the 2002 Billtown Blues Association's Talent contest this past March, we were given the opening slot at the Billtown Blues Festival. What a gas! We opened the festival playing to a couple of thousand hard-core blues fans at the Greater Lycoming Fairgrounds in Hughesville, PA. After playing our set, we then settled in to watch the rest of the bill: E. G. Kight, Geno Delafose and French Rockin' Boogie, Saffire the Uppity Blues Women, and the incomparable Levon Helm and the Barnburners. Here are some great shots from our buddy Tom McEvoy (check out his site at http://www.winnerschooseace.com) of our set, and the great acts we opened for! Thanks again to Bonnie Tallman for organizing the whole affair, and anytime you want us back, folks, just yell - we had a BLAST!!!!
Thanks also to our friend Gunther Beck from Germany who sent us a couple of great shots we've included below - Danke, pal!
E. G. Kight (check out her site) - a great set, a bitchin' red Strat, and a very hot band. Her version of Etta James' classic 'At Last' brought the crowd to their feet.
Nothing like some zydeco on a hot day, and Geno Delafose and French Rockin' Boogie (check out their site) provided some great rockin' music! How he was able to wear a heavy flannel shirt on a day like that I'll never know - I guess this is nothing compared to summertime in Louisiana....
Saffire, the Uppity Blues Women (check out their site) were next, and Gaye Adegbalola led the women in some righteous blues, and the crowd loved it. I now know what BITCH stands for (Being In Total Control of Herself....). You go, girls.
Levon Helm and the Barnburners (check out their site) were the last act we were able to see, and what a thrill to meet a man who is truly a legend in music. His drumming is as strong as ever, and he clearly loves to do it. WIth a very strong band fronted by Chris O'Leary on the harp and vocals and Pat O'Shea on that gorgeous old Les Paul, these guys put on an awesome show.
