| Blues Barn Party! 10/15/2011 |
| What a night! Tailshaker took the stage for a Blues Barn Party in support of Muskegon's Pound Buddies Animal Shelter and Adoption Center. A special thanks to Jack and Melba Mulder for hosting this event and for keeping the Blues alive in West Michigan.
We welcomed bassist Duane "Dane" Corbin to the Tailshaker on Saturday. He showed everyone some very tasty licks and a solid bass line the whole night through. Rip was on fire and there was some band history being made over pudding shots of some sort. We can't go into detail on that topic here on the world wide web. Sorry.
Paul Abair joined us for a very hot third set - thank you, Paul! And thanks to many old and new friends for joining us for this very special night at the Blues Barn. Tailshaker is back. |
