I should probably be promoting myself on this site rather than other musicians - (especially local ones), but I just saw this video by The Fremonts, and I was absolutely blown away. So soulful, so swingin', such a deep, bitchin' groove.
The Fremonts, fronted by singer Mighty Joe Milsap have such a smooth, sweet style, the band is groovin' like a house-afire, and Troy "Pony Boy" Sandow is an INCREDIBLY talented harmonica player. He's got all the technique, chops, and taste anyone could hope for - man just listen to him playing like old Sonny Boy himself!
Paul deLay 3/31/52 - 3/7/7
Sad, sad news.
Paul deLay passed suddenly today. He was one of the most original musicians of any genre I ever heard, period. In my opinion, his Harmonica playing was second only to Stevie Wonder in terms of outright originality.
It's especially sad when an artist dies, because they touch so many hearts and help to ease the suffering of these earthly shackles. Paul deLay's passing is a great loss to all of us who enjoyed his music and admired his art.
He played the Harmonica like a horn, wrote lyrics like a poet, and sang like a soul-man.

Rest in Peace, Paul.
