A local and regional favorite is set to entertain in Historic Folsom, just in time to wind down and wrap up your holiday weekend. If you have the blues about heading back to work next week, why not enjoy the blues at the Powerhouse of Blues which welcome’s the great Mick Martin and his Big Blues Band to the Powerhouse Pub, a very “cool” place to be on a hot Sunday afternoon.
Most blues and rock fans in Northern California know Martin as the longtime host and producer of “The Blues Party” on Capital Public Radio and the leader of Mick Martin & the Blues Rockers for over 38 years.
An award-winning harmonica player and singer-songwriter, his accomplishments include over 20 CDs, performing with jazz organist Jimmy Smith and other jazz and blues icons at Carnegie Hall’s “Blues in Jazz” event in 1994 and topping his 17-year association as the singer/harp player with guitar innovator Harvey Mandel (Canned Heat, the Chicago Blues Reunion) at West-Fest, the 40th anniversary of Woodstock.
For Mick Martin’s Big Blues Band, he has assembled a group of accomplished musicians with pedigrees as impressive as his own: Danny Sandoval (saxophone), Andrew Little (guitar), Mike Caselli (organ/piano), Aj Joyce (bass), David D. Johnson (trumpet/arranger) and Jim Caselli (drums). All of these men have played and recorded with a list of world-famous artists that can be considered the Who’s Who of the music business. Martin himself has said, “This is my dream band; a group of gifted musicians I have long admired and never thought I would be able to assemble into a band. And, man, do we have a great time when we play.” And so does the audience.
The Sunday show kicks off at 3 p.m. Tickets for the Powerhouse of Blues event are priced at $10 and are available for purchase online at www.powerhousepub.com or at the door on Sunday.
