| Bourbon Road to perform at The Coach House with James Hunter Southland blues band Bourbon Road will perform live at The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano, California on Sunday, September 1, 2007, opening for British soul singer James Hunter. An additional act performing that evening is Big Daddy and the TCB. "We're excited to be back at The Coach House", says "Lucky" Scott Hudson (bassist for Bourbon Road) "James Hunter is a top notch performer, and we're looking forward to sharing the stage with him!" Formed in 1997 in Yorba Linda, California under the original name The Barnburners Blues Band, Bourbon Road 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 Bourbon Road recordings on radio stations throughout the United States, as well as in Europe and Latin America. The band recently finalized a c.d. of original music entitled "My Lonely Heart". On New Year's Eve 2006, Bourbon Road (under the name The Barnburners) performed at the first annual OC New Year's Eve Celebration, sharing the stage with artists Sugar Ray, Lit, Joan Jett and The Blackhearts, and the Psychedelic Furs, among many others. Anyone who's seen or heard James Hunter perform is already hip to his remarkable talents as a singer, guitarist and songwriter. This includes Van Morrison who asserts, "James is one of the best voices, and best kept secrets, in British R'n'B and Soul. Check him out." Audiences will soon have that opportunity with Hunter's debut release on GO Records/Rounder Records, scheduled for release on March 7, 2006. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Jazz News :: home page |
