Welcome
Pinetop Perkins Foundation
http://www.pinetopperkinsfoundation.org
A few years ago The Matt Angus Thing was lucky enough to record with Pinetop Perkins. We met him one night about 6 or 7 years ago when George Kilby Jr. brought him to our gig, the night before Thanksgiving, to sit in with us. The relationship progressed and George and Pinetop recorded quite a few tracks with us in the fall of '06.
Pinetop was kind, cool, a gentleman and we had a blast working with him. He was an inspiration and one of the best ambassadors for the Blues. One of the last times I saw Pinetop play he was sitting in with Hubert Sumlin & Sean Costello at Antone's in Austin. The history on that stage was amazing, not to mention the two english guys that seemed to float through the crowd and stand right in front of me. His influence was so great. That night it was Robert Plant and Elvis Costello (no relation to Sean) that had crammed into Antone's. He was not just a father of the modern Blues, but Rock n'Roll as well. It was an honor to work with him.
Thank you Pinetop. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, Pat Morgan and the folks at Blue Mountain. His team was really solid and they did a great job of taking care of him for many years. Thanks to George Kilby Jr. who brought Pinetop to sit in with us many years ago. Safe travels Pinetop. A shave and a haircut ... two bits.
Peace,
Matt

A benefit for WNTI featuring an acoustic evening with....
Steve Forbert & Sarah Borges
Friday April 1st, 2011 8:00pm at the Chapel at Centenary College
Nearly 28 years since breaking into pop consciousness with his second album Jackrabbit Slim and its infectious Top Ten single “Romeo’s Tune,” Steve Forbert remains a master of songs offering clear-eyed insight and plain-spoken, heartfelt eloquence. On his 429 Records/SLG debut, the well-traveled Nashville-based troubadour—who maintains a busy touring schedule of over 100 dates a year — explores his ongoing fascination for Strange Names & New Sensations with characteristic wit, a sense of social consciousness and the ever-present romantic optimism that has endeared him to two generations of folk/rock fans.
“Blessed with brassy pipes and charisma a-plenty…” - Time Out NY On March 24, 2009 Known for her relentless touring, the band recently received raves in the New York Times for their “vivacious” live show and Borges was awarded ‘Local Female Vocalist of the Year’ at the 2008 Boston Music Awards this December. A national tour is planned for the spring of 2009 following the release of ‘The Stars Are Out.’
