Flowmotion |
|
Hidden beneath the bows of the Northwest evergreens
is found Flowmotion, one of Seattle’s most distinctly diverse rock bands.
This is an act that fails to fall into an easily packaged genre, succeeds in
defying stereotypes, and throws one hell of a party no matter what city, town
or festival the five-piece band happens to land in. |

The DK Stewart
Band with the Soul Survivor Horns |
|
D.K. Stewart, whose New Orleans, boogie-woogie
piano style has been a driving force behind such Northwest blues giants as Robert
Cray, Paul deLay and Curtis Salgado, is now available with his big band, The
DK Stewart Band with the Soul Survivor Horns. Backed by veteran Portland drummer
Cory Burdon, former Paul deLay Band bassist Don Campbell, and deLay guitarist
Peter Dammann, Stewart serves up swinging, up-tempo "jump" blues by
Nat Cole, Charles Brown and T-Bone Walker; hard-grooving New Orleans funk by
Professor Longhair, Clifton Chenier and the Meters; slashing Chicago blues by
Howlin' Wolf and Magic Sam; and his own soulful, compelling originals. Joining
the group for special events are the Soul Survivor Horns, featuring veteran Brit
saxophonist Chris Mercer (John Mayall, Bryan Ferry, Billy Ocean, Dr. John) and
Northwest trumpeter Joe McCarthy (Robert Cray, Curtis Salgado). |
