SEE EVENT DETAILS
*NEW ORLEANS RHYTHM COUNCIL* featuring Papa Mali – Guitar Wil Blades – B3 Organ Kirk Joseph – Sousaphone & Robbie Kidd – Drums
Join members of 7 Walkers, Dirty Dozen Brass Band and Gingerbreadmen with the bay areas best organ player, Wil Blades at this epic soul groovin’ show…. Wil Blades From cookin’ with Blues legend John Lee Hooker, organ summits with B-3 master Dr. Lonnie Smith, television and radio appearances, Wil Blades is gaining critical acclaim and international recognition. Blades, a native Chicagoan, has become the San Francisco Bay Area’s first call organist and is rapidly gaining momentum internationally. He has been named “Rising Star” for organ in the Downbeat critics poll every year since 2006. Wil has been wowing audiences with groups such as “O.G.D.,” “Amendola Vs. Blades”, “Stanton Moore Trio”, “Steppin” and Billy Martin Wil Blades Duo”. In 2007 Blades released his much anticipated debut record, “Sketchy”, on Doodlin’ Records. In addition to performing with legendary artists such as John Lee Hooker and Dr. Lonnie Smith, Wil has performed and recorded with Melvin Sparks, Idris Muhammad, Joe Louis Walker, Don Braden, Donald Harrison, Nicholas Payton, Karl Denson, Will Bernard, Scott Amendola, Charlie Hunter, Stanton Moore, Billy Martin, Anders Osborne, Jason Marsalis, Herlin Riley, Betty Joplin, Eddie Marshall, Herbie Lewis, and many others. Born in 1979, Wil began playing drums at the age of 8, guitar at 13, and then found his true calling on Hammond B-3 at 19. While studying Jazz at New College of California with bassist Herbie Lewis, Wil landed weekly gigs at John Lee Hooker’s Boom Boom Room in San Francisco. Barely of legal age, veteran musicians, such as trumpeter Oscar Myers, took him under their wings. Being self-taught on organ, the weekly gigs proved to be the best lessons of all. In the years since, Wil has received tutelage from Jazz Organ master, Dr. Lonnie Smith… “Yeah, he does it…he’s on it. He is the future to carry on the legend, the legacy of the organ, [of] the B-3.” Papa Mali Papa Mali is a New Orleans based, American singer-songwriter, guitarist and producer. He has been a touring musician and recording artist for decades. Yet, he is probably best known as the front man for 7 Walkers, a band formed in 2009 that includes three musical icons: Grateful Dead founding member and drummer Bill Kreutzmann, The Meters’ founding bassist, George Porter Jr. and lyricist Robert Hunter, who penned most of the Grateful Dead’s classic catalog (along with the late Jerry Garcia) and now co-writes much of 7 Walkers material with Welbourne. Multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and Willie Nelson collaborator, Matt Hubbard completes the line up. Papa Mali can usually be found at home in New Orleans, where he regularly performs with his own band, Double Uptown Shotgun – often at his favorite neighborhood watering hole, The Maple Leaf Bar or at nearby Tipitina’s. Kirk Joseph Kirk Joseph is a jazz sousaphone player from New Orleans, Louisiana. The son of trombonist Waldren Frog Joseph, Kirk Joseph began playing the sousaphone while a student at Andrew Bell Middle School, and took part in his first professional gig at the age of fifteen when his brother Charles invited him to play a funeral with the Majestic Band. In 1977 he became one of the founding members of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, a group which is credited with reviving the brass band tradition in New Orleans. He has played with the Treme Brass Band and Forgotten Souls Brass Band, and currently leads his own group called Kirk Joseph’s Backyard Groove. Described as a modern sousaphone pioneerJoseph claims inspiration from renowned New Orleans tuba player Anthony Tuba Fats Lacen. Robbie Kidd The incredible Funk/Soul/Rock beats of Austin, TX rhythm king has performed with legends throughout the country, and with his own powerhouse project the Gingerbreadmen. Join us as we welcome back the funkiest drummer! Tommy Odetto Tommy Odetto picked up the guitar at 13 and was immediately obsessed. His inspiration came from the likes of Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, and many others . A fifth-generation native of Fairfax, CA – an area known for a diverse and rich music scene – teenage Odetto was known for sneaking into clubs to watch his favorite musicians like Danny Uzilevsky,Tom Finch and others play. At age 15 came a life altering experience when he got the chance to play with Carlos Santana. Since then, Odetto has played with Mike Landau, Gary Novak, Travis Carlton, Michael Carabello, Mark Karan, Robin Sylvester, Otis Scarecroe, Barry Sless,Michael Bluestein,Danny Uzilevsky,Jon Korty and many more.
