Blue Mother Tupelo performs Friday night
Micol and Ricky Davis of Blue Mother Tupelo   "A Southern Soul-Stew with Universal Appeal" Blue Mother Tupelo
We are in for a treat Friday night, when Nashville's "Blue Mother Tupelo" takes the stage in the Courtyard.

According to a Paste Magazine article about the American Folk Festival "Micol and Ricky Davis, and whomever happens to be their drummer at any given time, play swampy, gospel tinged southern soul- blues. Micol displayed the full-bodied vocal fire of Janis Joplin, while she rattled and slapped her tambourine with the ecstasy and know-how of a black gospel choir member. Ricky played muscular, stabbing figures on acoustic guitar and dobro, and the two joined in close, soul-searing harmonies like only intimate kin can.

"When the couple sang an A capella rendition of the old gospel number 'Wish I Was in Heaven Sitting Down,' the result was a heady blend of other-worldly longing and this-worldly passion...bodies swaying and tambourines shaking emphatically."

If you really want to catch a glimpse of the magic these two can conjure up, watch their performance of 'Put Your Head on My Shoulder' in the music video from the 2003 movie, "Daltry Calhoun". It got my attention and I hope it gets yours. Friday night at 8 pm. Bring some friends to enjoy the show!

Big Daddy Blue and the Red Hots perform Saturday night

The famous Mississippi and Louisiana blues band, Big Daddy Blue and the Red Hots will perform Saturday night in the Courtyard. According to Mike Chambliss, Big Daddy Blue, "our sound has morphed from a traditional blues sound to a more modern approach that has been compared to Jimmy Thackery, Smokin’ Joe Kubek, and Tinsley Ellis.

"Our song list continues to change, as we incorporate elements of southern R&B, swamp boogie, and even exposing our country roots on occasion.We play music that appeals to a wide range of audiences in very diverse places, from swanky restaurants to biker bars and everything in between.

"So, if you’re looking for something a little different, check out our schedule on our website and come see us at Walnut Circle Grill Saturday night!" We're looking forward to having Big Daddy Blue and the Red Hots and hope to see you Saturday night!
