| Blues in the Carolinas: General Info
|
| Member Since | 4/25/2008 | | Band Website | e.g. shrimpcityslim.com, wandaj.com , etc. | | Band Members | The region of the Carolinas is renowned for its historic "Piedmont blues" style (Blind Boy Fuller, Pink Anderson, Rev. Gary Davis, et. al.) as well as its coastal school (Richard "Big Boy" Henry (pictured), George Herbert Moore, Walter "Lightnin' Bug" Rhodes, et. al.). BUT it should be mentioned that the blues scene in this part of the country offers many other flavors of blues music, all of which are touched at one time or another by that distinctive Carolina sound. Top names of the current scene include Drink Small, Shrimp City Slim, Miss Wanda Johnson, Mac Arnold, Shane Pruitt, Decoration Day, Juke Joint Johnny, and others. | | Influences | In addition to its rich history, the Carolinas are now truly a crossroads for blues music excellence and a stomping ground for many fine artists. | | Sounds Like | We encourage you to "google" artists that are listed. Some may or may not have MySpace pages. | | Record Label | Various | | Type of Label | Indie |
