It was a fabulous night of
blues last night at the Olympic South Side Theater in Cedar Rapids,
Iowa. KCCK Jazz 88.3, is
celebrating thirty years of playing ‘da Blues over the airwaves, and marked the
occasion by hosting ‘daBluesapalooza, a five-hour blues show to honor Bob DeForest
who started spinning the blues on KCCK in January of 1992. John ‘Big
Mo’ Heim who hosts The Big Mo Blues Show on Friday nights was also honored.
This special event featured the
talents of several local area blues artists, making for a killer lineup of
music which started with daBluesapalooza All-Stars comprised of BillyLee
Janey, Dennis McMurrin, Nate Hines, Dan Johnson, Tom
Giblin, and Eric Douglas. Time
seemed to fly as music continued throughout the evening from Craig Erickson
Quartet, Homebrewed, Tanya English Band, Johnny Kilowatt
featuring Alligator Records recording artist Gloria Hardiman, Molly
Nova and the Hawk featuring Bryce Janey, John Resch & Doggin’
Out, and The Evan Stock Band.
It was truly a special night.
