DATES: Saturday Night, October 6, 2007, 7:30 p.m.
ADMISSION: $5.00
Just back from an eye-opening tour of the Western United States, the Daddy Mack Blues Band returns to the Center for Southern Folklore store Saturday night, October 6. Showtime is 7:30 p.m.
When he first headed out, Mack didn't know what to expect, but he soon learned that blues lovers were everywhere. “We just had a natural ball out West. I couldn't believe how friendly folks were and how many were familiar with Memphis blues in general and our band in particular. I remember one day we were passing by this park in Arizona and heard our song 'Royal Shade of Blues' coming out of somebody's boombox. Who would have thought that there'd be so many people in places like Phoenix, AZ, Redondo Beach, CA and Salt Lake City, UT that were starving for a taste of the real thing?"
Not all that surprising considering the Daddy Mack Blues Band has had three consecutive albums in the Top Ten of the national blues charts. Even before their recent Western tour, Mack and his crew cemented their legend as keepers of the flame for the rich tradition of urban blues with live appearances at festivals in Paris, London and Chicago. But reputations aside, folks here know the Daddy Mack Blues Band as one of the best bands to party with on a Memphis Saturday night.
