Wishing you a very Happy, Healthy and Prosperous 2018! Hope to see more of you this year:
Let’s have a Great Year!
Happy Holidays! Hope you’re enjoying the Season and staying warm.
I’m happy to report that the big Blues vs Opioids Benefit show on Sunday was a big success! The music was great and the speakers were very moving and informative. We must continue to increase awareness about this crisis and how to deal with it. Watch for videos from Fox8 TV promoting this event and from the event itself soon on the Videos Page.
I have several shows this month in several solo and band configurations. Come on out and join the fun!
Right before Christmas, on 12/22, Sam Hooper Group will be splitting the bill with Jarred Goldweber and the Park Brothers at Happy Dog/Euclid Tavern in University Circle. Jarred is great on blues harp and has a crack band that really gets the crowd going. Our two bands will have the joint jumping so bring your dancing shoes!
Hi, I celebrated my birthday this past Saturday on the 4th and one of the most exiting things I did was catch world class bassist, Victor Wooten with his new trio (Dennis Chambers-drums, Bob Franceschini-saxes) performing at Beachland Ballroom. It was rich, stupendous, inspiring and huge fun seeing what these well-seasoned musicians came up with. Catch them live, if you can and you can also check out their new album, TRYPNOTYX. https://www.victorwooten.com
Speaking of Beachland Ballroom, I hope you’ve gotten your tickets for our 5-band BLUES vs OPIOIDS Benefit there, Sunday 12/3 from 2-8pm. All proceeds to benefit 5 local rehabilitation shelters
**We are rehearsing hard for our SAM HOOPER GROUP SHOW this Saturday, 11/11 at the BOP STOP! We’ll have a 6-piece band for this special show and are expanding our repertoire, so there’ll be some surprises for sure. Join us!
