CHECK OUT THE BOSTON BLUES SOCIETY REVIEW OF OUR NEW CD; 'Haggie Daggy Blues' at: http://www.bostonblues.com>>>>>Here are some quotes from Editor Karen Nugent; "On the local front, Boston's own ShadowBox Blues Band has produced a good six-track disc which inspires us to go see them live!">>>>>>"On “Flip, Flop and Fly” all six members do a terrific job with the tune, fusing together nicely in the bridge and throughout, with Hamparian’s smoky vocals at her best.">>>>>>"What is obvious is the fine harmonica playing by Barry Cohen, on virtually every song.">>>>>>"My favorite is the track, “Little By Little” on which Cohen has a particularly good solo, the bass line is perfect, and there is a super guitar solo by Glover, with plenty of wah-wah.">>>>>>" The song “Things Have Changed,” performed by rhythm guitarist David Lawless, is surprisingly good - Lawless sounds like the man himself (Dylan) - so let’s say Lawless sings a bit better than Bob. The band handles this tune very well, especially Glover on lead guitar for the bridge. It’s fast moving, even danceable, and thoroughly cool!">>>>>>"CHECK THIS GROUP OUT. I know I will, very soon. I bet they’re even better in a club!"<<<<<<
We are a six-piece, female fronted, up-tempo and jump blues (killer) band! Our band plays a wide variety of foot stompin danceable blues tunes designed to get folks out of their chairs and onto the dance floor!! Our Music includes blues/r&b/swing - we play covers & original tunes! >>>>>>>>>>Come see us live and in person at a blues club near you - SHADOWBOX BLUES BAND; Keeping it Blues!

Ciao ShadowBox Blues Band! ti volevamo ringraziare per le tue parole e per il tuo sostegno in periodo così difficile per noi.
Questi ringraziamenti non sono formali, sono veramente sinceri a nome nostro, della moglie di Enrico Paola e a nome dei suoi figli.
Le ceneri di Enrico Micheletti sono disperse nel mar Tirreno e stanno viaggiando nell' universo. Noi speriamo che anche la sua anima abbia raggiunto finalmente il miglior approdo possibile.
Cosa fare del suo materiale in nostro possesso e del materiale che abbiamo registrato insieme?
Dopo aver pensato a lungo sul da farsi abbiamo deciso di pubblicarlo. Lo pubblicheremo su Itunes ed altri siti così tutti potranno trovarlo se lo cercano. Glielo dobbiamo. Glielo deve chi lo ha conosciuto.
Cercheremo di pubblicare tutto ciò che è in nostro possesso nei primi mesi del 2009.
Wishing You a Joyful Holiday Season, Very Merry Christmas and Best New Year Ever in 2009. Thank you for being My Friend and being part of My Space site filled with amazing links to Music, Spirit, Love and Peace from around the World. Your comments are always appreciated. Love and Light to All. Many Blessings to You. This is Anita aka Angelwingss7 in Ontario, Canada.
WE ARE VERY SAD... WE DON'T HAVE WORDS TO SAY ANYMORE... OUR SINGER AND DOBRO PLAYER ENRICO MICHELETTI IS DEAD. GOODBYE ENRICO KEEP THE BLUES ALIVE WHEREVER YOU ARE!!!!
