JONY JAMES BLUES BAND

BLOWS THE ROOF OFF @

DOUBLE D'S QUEEN CITY GRILLE

JONY JAMES BLUES BAND PLAYED AN IMPRESSIVE DOUBLE SET AT NONE OTHER THAN DOUBLE D’S QUEEN CITY BAR & GRILLE NOW LOCATED IN THE CITY OF TONAWANDA, NEW YORK.

FROM THE FIRST NOTE THE BAND PLAYED THE AUDIENCE FELT THE POWER THIS TRIO WAS ABOUT TO INTRODUCE.  JONY JAMES PROVED THAT REAL GUITAR PLAYERS STILL EXIST IN THE WORLD OF MUSIC.  MOST ROCK STARS WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO GET THE RESPECT THAT A PLAYER LIKE JAMES BRINGS TO THE STAGE. 

KENT LEECH WHO JUST BLEW THE ROOF OFF WITH HIS INCREDIBLE DRUMMING WITH TIMING ONLY BLUES VETERANS REALLY POSSESS.  HIS SOLOS WERE DELIVERED WITH A ROCK FEEL THAT ENCOMPASSED ROAR, THUNDER AND A PULSATING BOOM THAT ROLLED OUT A RELEASE OF RHYTHM AND BLUES.  HIS RENDITION OF JIMI HENDRIX’ “CASTLES MADE OF SAND” ALONG WITH “ROCK ME BABY” AN ORIGINAL B.B. KING SONG THAT HENDRIX PERFORMED LIVE AT THE MONTEREY INTERNATIONAL POP FESTIVAL JUST TOOK ME BACK TO THE DAYS OF REAL ROCKIN’ BLUES THAT SECURED A REBIRTH WITH THE BRITISH INVASION.

ROD HOMING ROUNDED OUT THE TRIO WITH HIS FUNKY BLUES BASS PLAYING.  HOMING OFTEN ACCENTED THE RHYTHM SECTION THAT HE AND LEECH WERE PRODUCING.  THE SET UP OF THE STAGE AND THE PLACEMENT I HAD PUT MYSELF IN LEFT HIM OUT OF MY VISUAL SIGHT.  BUT THAT DID NOT LEAVE HIM OUT OF MY HEARING AND HE WAS A STRONG SOUND MY EARS COULD NOT IGNORE. 

SO DEVOTED TO THE ROCK WORLD I HAVE LEFT MY ROOTS OF THE BLUES AND IN DOING SO HAVE MISSED OUT ON THIS PRODIGIOUS BAND.  THIS BAND IS A NECESSITY IN THE WORLD OF LIVE PERFORMANCE AND SHOULD BE VENERATE IN EVERY MUSIC MAGAZINE.  THE PASSION THAT JAMES BRINGS TO HIS PLAYING WILL BRING US BACK FOR ANOTHER SHOW A.S.A.P.

THEY HAVE A PEPPERING OF SHOWS IN THE MONTH OF MARCH THROUGHOUT THE BUFFALO SURROUNDING AREA DOWN INTO FREDONIA AND ELLICOTTVILLE.  MID APRIL WE WILL HAVE TO GIVE THIS TRIO A GREAT SEND OFF AS THEY WILL BE SHOWING OFF THEIR GRANDEUR IN TENNESSEE AND ALABAMA.  DOUBLE D’S WILL WELCOME THEM BACK FROM THIS EXCURSION ON FRIDAY APRIL 29, 2011 AT 9:30 SO BRING YOUR BEST BLUES EAR AND SHOW UP EARLY SO AS NOT TO MISS A NOTE OF INTENSITY.
