 I'm honored to be a finalist in the first ever Bodles open mic contest. This should be a lot of fun and a great show. The styles of music are diverse and all enjoyable. Other performers are:
Ken Blumberg, Brianne Chasanoff, and Denise Jordan Finley w/ Dan Pagdon.
Music starts at 8:30, but if you don't reserve in advance, then it's best to be early as we expect this to fill up. The winner will be chosen by "applause meter" so I hope you'll come out and scream for me. I'm a bit weirded by competing against my buddies. However, if I am honored to be chosen winner by applause, I promise;
1. I will NOT raise your taxes under any circumstances.
2. I'll throw a big live music party at Bodles for my winning gig, and all other finalist will be invited to play also.
admission $5, or dinner+show $19.95 Great deal and fun time guaranteed!

Louisiana Red has lived the Blues. And Louisiana Red not only plays the Blues, he lives it through his guitar and his singing. Strongly influenced by Muddy Waters, Lightnin‘ Hopkins and Arthur Crudup, he has long ago found his own voice, his own style, his own form of expression.
When Red performs, the songs are often only launching pad for expressing his immediate feelings in the almost lost tradition of spontaneous composition that goes back to the original Delta Blues artists an even further to the West-African griot bards.
