   About West Of Memphis
West of Memphis Founded in 1999 by Harmonicist Karl Cabbage and Guitarist Tom Walpole, West Of Memphis has been plying the Blues trade in and around San Diego for 7 or so years. Supported by an array of able sidemen, Cabbage and Walpole has succeeded in keeping the vision of the project on course. Committed to playing high quality and authentic American Blues Music, West of Memphis has not succumbed to market pressures that would have the band lazily following the road well traveled. In 2006, West of Memphis released their debut effort, Monkey Business which earned the Band a San Diego Music Awards nomination for Best Blues Album 2006. In 2007 The band headed north to Montreal, Quebec, Canada on the invitation from Canadian Bluesman and Harmonicist extraordinaire Bharath Rajakumar, to record the follow up album "Honey Pie". Early reviews on this effort are great. West of Memphis has plans on releasing the "Honey Pie" cd early in 2007. West of Memphis can currently be seen every Friday night at the San Diego House of Blues from 6-10.

Hey i want to let you, and all my friends with whom i visit, that i always enjoy stopping by, even tho it's my bad i don't always get around to leaving a comment. But this time, i was thinkin bout how my mom taught me better. When u enter a room, u supposed to speak first to the people there, they not supposed to have to speak first lol. Even though, I know I am usually really busy recording my next album and everything, no excuses. So yea i wanted to say wassup, i like visiting your and others page when i wanna read, listen to music n stuff. U got a cool spot, and i hope your year is shaping up better than last year. Our life is supposed to get greater and greater right? Well let me know how everything is going with your goals for this year! ttyl

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)

"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
