Boogey down with the blues king
The famous Mississippi and Louisiana blues band, Big Daddy Blue and the
Red Hots will perform Friday 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 website and come see us at Walnut Circle Grill Friday night!" We're looking forward to having Big Daddy Blue and the Red Hots and hope to see you there! |

Hold on...Maggie's coming to the Courtyard
Performing is a way of life for Maggie Brown. She started playing piano
at 3 years old and at 12, got her first guitar. She had formed her own
band by the time she was 14.
The year she turned 18 on Lake St. John in Northern Louisiana, her mother saw a sign in the sky from God and decided it meant that they were to head for California. Along the way, they stopped in Texas and that's where they stayed for the next four years, where Maggie played in roadside bars and honky tonks. She toured with Trace Adkins in 1988 and recently has opened for Delbert McClinton and Gretchen Wilson. Her next stop was Nashville, but when her mother died two weeks after they arrived, Maggie went home to Louisiana to pursue a normal life. Today, she is a confident woman and is once again following her love of music. When she sings the high notes, the sound has a tough sheen like hand-rubbed brass. "When she sings softly, there's so much painful truth in that velvety burr it raises the hairs on the back of your neck. |
