Someone said last Friday that they weren't sure if they had seen David Rotundo before or not.I had to tell them that they definitely had not,or they would have remembered.Once you see David and his band live,you'll never forget their awesome musicianship,showmanship and stage presence.Happily forever hypnotized with the blues in his soul,since he witnessed the legendary James Cotton in 1991,David travelled extensively to experience the real thing and assimilated himself into the music and the culture.What has resulted is a unique and electrifying performer who hints at,but never copies the greats he has studied and learned so much from in the last 15 years or so.With an impressive collection of his original songs as the vehicle,David alternates between gruff,gritty vocals and a harp sound that conjures up a Mississippi freight train rumbling through the bayou swamps at midnight on the way to Chicago.Supported by a tight-as-a-G-string band,featuring bassist/vocalist Shane"The Pillar" Scott,veteran guitar slingers Dan Dufour and Des Brown and the metronomical Chuck D. Keeping on drums,David keeps an audience involved all evening with an infectious and interesting blend of modern electric blues influences and his one-of-a-kind original style.Please check out http://www.davidrotundo.com/ for a more detailed appreciation of the band members.
Personally,"I Want To Get Lucky" again soon and be "Drinkin' Overtime" with The David Rotundo Band."Let's Have A Good Time"."I'm Into It".....................
On that note,be sure not to miss The David Rotundo Band on Friday,Dec.14 at Chicago's when they are joined by special guests Jerome Godboo(the other greatest harp player in Canada) and Al Cross on drums.I've seen this all-star line-up before and you've got to experience this to believe it.............See You There!!!!!!!!
