SUMMARY:Dr Thompson
DESCRIPTION:Dr Thompson is making a welcome return after their debut spot in February. They brought another fresh insight into some new and classic songs. If you didn’t see them last time\, don’t miss out this month. \n  \nTheir promo says\, “Festering away in the hills of Wellington\, like a slow mould\, a band called Dr Thompson has been working on a bunch of songs. Dr Thompson brings a brand of ballsy\, bluesy rock\, with a hint of psychedelia and a touch of prog. A fun night out for all the family.” \n  \nI’m not sure about festering away\, but they are well worth seeing.

SUMMARY:Red Dog Saloon Band
DESCRIPTION:The Red Dog Saloon Band plays for us almost every month. You might wonder why that is? The answer is easy. It’s because they are really good at playing the blues. \n  \nIf you want to hear the blues played with a real passion and respect for the music\, check out this band. \n  \nThe Red Dog Saloon Band members know the blues inside out and have been playing on the Wellington music circuit for over 30 years. \n  \nDuring that time\, they have become masters of their craft\, and provided inspiration for many new\, younger players along the way. \n  \nIf you like the blues or want to find out more\, come and listen to Dougal Speir on guitar\, Dave Murphy on vocals and guitar\, Roger Watkins (drums)\, and Elliot Fuimaono (bass). \n  \nThese are some fine players to see if you want to hear some blues.

SUMMARY:Blain Fitzpatrick’s Blues Bangas
DESCRIPTION:For young guys\, they really know how to rock the blues like the legends of the ‘60s and’70s. This is their third gig for Capital Blues and each time they have been a knock-out. \n  \nA quick look at the musicians in the band will tell you that you can expect some top-class playing. Some might even say virtuoso. \n  \nThe band is:- \nVocals – Eugene Wolfin\nGuitar – Matthew Fitzpatrick\nDrums – Jacob Randall\nBass – Blain Fitzpatrick \n  \nThey will be playing some classic blues-rock tunes in their own way. Think Cream\, early Zeppelin\, and Hendrix. This is going to be a fantastic evening of outstanding music and musicians. Don’t miss it. For those who saw them playing The Doors as King Lizard in Cuba Dupa\, you know you are in for a treat.

SUMMARY:Lady Sings the Blues
DESCRIPTION:Capital Blues is thrilled to present Lady Sings the Blues\, four singers\, Erna Ferry – Carol Bean – Lauren Armstrong – Julie Lamb\, with varied styles and fun in mind. They are backed by the stellar Richard Te One (drums)\, Elliot Fuimaono\, (bass)\, Nick Granville (guitar)\, and Michael Crawford (keys). \n  \nThe irrepressible\, Erna Ferry. Most recently much of Erna’s time has been taken up performing with Rodger Fox and his bands so we are fortunate to have her performing for us at this gig. \nThe press calls Erna vivacious and sparkling\, but she is also warm\, engaging\, and the ultimate professional. She makes it fun for the band and audience alike. \n  \nCarol Bean is amongst our finest women of rock…sassy\, seductive\, vibrant\, earthy. She learned guitar from Ry Cooder which shows\, as she gets lots of invitations to join bands – a tribute to her brilliance. She tells the best stories and injects positivity into every show. Audiences and musicians get that vibe… immediately and obviously. \n  \nLauren Armstrong is engaging. She combines the worlds of jazz and burlesque in a style reminiscent of Nat King Cole and Billie Holliday. She also has impeccable style\, with a smiling\, sunshine personality that flows out to her audience.  Lauren is a fabulous vocalist and performer. \n  \nJulie Lamb has been performing to audiences throughout the country for a good while. Even still\, her enthusiasm for music is clear to anyone who knows her\, and this shines through her performance on the stage. Come and hear her as this music is where she is “in her happy place”. \nhttps://www.capitalblues.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/326439800_6040039749379472_7806752283156871936_n.mp4
