UPPER LAKE – Sean Carney and his band, based in Ohio but touring internationally, start a West Coast tour on Monday, March 22, with a “Monday Blues” appearance at the Blue Wing Saloon and Café in Upper Lake.
The well-known blues harmonica virtuoso Phil Berkowitz will join the band for this appearance and throughout the west coast tour.
Following their appearance in Upper Lake, the band will be featured at popular venues from San Diego to San Francisco to Tacoma before heading for Florida and then a two month European tour.
“It’s a mark of progress for Lake County on the blues music scene that a band of this stature looks forward to making an appearance here,” said Blue Wing owner Bernie Butcher.
Blues Review Magazine has called Sean Carney “a one-man ambassador for the blues” who has jammed with many of the greats and taken his band all over the world to wide acclaim.
“He plays a mean hollow-bodied guitar, too,” the magazine added.
In 2010, Carney and his band will perform in twelve countries, including debut concerts in Mexico and the Czech Republic as well as return engagements in France and Switzerland.
With four CDs to his credit, Phil Berkowitz is a master of the blues harmonica and an accomplished vocalist who has been energizing the San Francisco Bay Area blues scene for more than a decade.
Phil founded the High Rollers in 1996 and plays regularly in clubs and blues jams throughout the area. His love of the blues has also taken him to New Orleans, Memphis, and other cities where he has jammed with some of the best players in those cities.
The Carney Band and Berkowitz will be performing from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Monday, March 22.
As always, there is no cover charge at the Blue Wing Monday Blues, but dinner reservations are suggested at 707-275-2233 for this special date.
