by Joe McGaha

The Barnburners Blues Band will perform live at The Press Restaurant in Claremont, California on Saturday, January 6th, 2007. "Cleanhead" Joe McGaha grew up in Claremont, and this will be a homecoming of sorts, as well as a "pre-celebration" of his birthday on January 9th. Formed in 1997 in Yorba Linda, California, The Barnburners Blues Band has performed in major venues across Southern California including The Coach House (San Juan Capistrano), The Galaxy Theater (Costa Mesa), B.B. King's (Universal City), and many more. Known for their high-energy performances, the band has performed on the same bill with many Blues artists including Greg Serrato, Finis Tasby, Robben Ford, Teresa Russell & Cocobilli, BB Chung King & The Buddha Heads, etc .

The band has performed in music festivals throughout Southern California, everywhere from Solvang to San Diego. You can find Barnburners Blues Band recordings on radio stations throughout the United States, as well as in Europe and Latin America. The band recently finalized the recording a c.d. of original music entitled "My Lonely Heart". The band's first CD Workin' Overtime, is available for purchase at www.dwmmusic.com
