I'm sure you've heard of Andy Timmons, but have you heard of Tommy Katona? Normally you'll see him with his band Texas Flood as SRV reincarnated. He's an amazing player and this duo got together recently to add a new dimension to the Gary Moore classic. Check it out!
Michael and Guitar Gate friends: I've been going deep on the jam thing lately and am convinced the recent Phish Berkeley shows represent some of the finest of the form! This insane 1 HOUR Tweezer into Simple is pure gold in terms of virtuosic improvisation, crowd connection, and musical exploration. There is A LOT of music in here, so the format may not work for a REACTS Request. Highly recommend anyone give a listen who likes the deep jam thing. Check out around 25 mins and then again for the next segment around 35 mins. We get weird!
Great band keeping guitar-centric music alive and relevant. The ending is the best part!
I know how you like underrated Canadians. Here's a true gem! I could have sent a number of tracks - I highly recommend going down the rabbit hole. Really like the guitar on this one.
To be fair there are few words I can say that can do justice to these three. Zach, Brian, Kanene. Transformative musicians. I couldβve listed a dozen songs but this, this my friends is the pinnacle.
Whole trio technique - perfectly placed rhythm, harmony, song craft. Itβs all there.
Michael, thereβs perhaps only a few examples in my 40-odd years of living for music that raise every hair on the back of my neck the way this can.
This one brings the tears, too. Utter joy.
I hope the rising vocal peak hits you the way it hits me. Storytelling at its finest. Recommend you check out the studio version too.
