Talent abounds in this remarkable Texas blues band.  The guitarist and lead vocalist is Jim "Blind Lemon Pie" Cobb-  spanning the greats like T-Bone Walker, Jimmy Witherspoon and Freddie King in guitar and vocal prowess.  Next up is Rick "SaxMan" Sims, who plays with the color and excitement of King Curtis and Boots Randolph, and who tends to leap off the stage into the crowd, serenading patrons individually.  Rodney "Gizmo" Beal, on the bass guitar, is steady as a rock like Willie Dixon, and adds his own sweet vocal harmonies and the occasional lead vocal himself.  Sylvia Carrell sprinkles percussion throughout, and sings from the heart- growling like KoKo Taylor and emoting like Etta James, spanning a wide range of styles before the night’s over.  All the band members are lucky enough to work within the parameters of the solid grooves and superb timing of Val Nail on drums- a young man who’s a ‘‘show” all by himself.    

You can't get enough of this group, so come see ‘em; you won’t be disappointed.

Catch Diddley Squat if you can!

 by Sylvia Carrell

 
This Saturday, June 20th, Diddley Squat  is traveling to Sedalia, Mo, to headline the Missouri Blues & BBQ festival.  We are scheduled from 9PM to midnight, and have been invited to sample the barbeque cook-off, although sadly, we probably won't arrive early enough for that.  Should be lots of fun, nonetheless, and it'll be a new crowd for us that we're anxious to meet. Their website is http://www.mobluesandbbq.com/index.cfm?section=blues .
 
Next Friday, June 26th, we'll be playing for our local friends at Auntie Skinner's Riverboat Club in Jefferson, TX at 107 W. Austin St.  with a 9PM start time.  Come out and have some of their crunchy, spicy popcorn chicken, delicious quesadillas, or maybe the satisfying "Skinner Salad". YUM!  There's lots to choose from!  Check out their myspace site: http://www.myspace.com/auntieskinners .
 
Saturday June 27th, we're in Navasota, TX at The Filling Station, Diner & Café,  310 E. Washington Ave. at 8PM.  It looks like a quaint and funky atmosphere, complete with old gas station memorabilia and corrugated tin walls.  That'll be different!
 
Looking forward to playing for you and your friends, so come on out and BRING A CROWD- The more the merrier!
