Elvin Bishop.

On a cold Friday night in January 20th of 2006,
me together with my bass player and good friend Margey
went to B.B.Kings in
Times Square to listen to
Elvin Bishop and his Band!

My student and P.R person for the club, had put my name on the Guest list
and we were lucky enough to get two seats on the left side of the stage
for perfect acoustic and visual enjoyment.

Now i was familiar with his music and guitar sound from the days when
he was playing in Paul Butterfield`s Blues Band and i have his "Big Fun"
album on Alligator Records , back in Athens
in which his humoristic lyrics and guitar playing shines through.

Margey Knew of him, but she had never heard his music and never seen him
Live.

We were in for a Big Treat!

He was touring and promoting his latest CD on Blind Pig Records,
titled "Gettin' My Groove Back" and man we did get our groove back
right from the start of the show!

The band was fabulous,they were tight, they were all singing
lead and back up vocals,they were playing different instruments
and they all remained true to Elvin`s motto to entertain.

Catch them "Live" if you can.

You gonna get your Groove Back!
