   About Royal Pawns
Charlie Johnson and Benny Kushner of the Mezcal Brothers teamed up with drummer extrodinaire, Justin G. Jones, for a couple Sunday jam sessions which became The Royal Pawns. The Royal Pawns met in the hollows of Charlie Johnson's basement and while trying out some new recording gear the guys laid down some totally one-off rock 'n' roll tunes. These songs were recorded with no rehearsal, 100% live, in a basement room using only 5 microphones! Under those circumstances what happened in the end is nothing short of a miracle thanks to the fabulous playing of Benny Kushner (Guitar), Justin G. Jones (Drums), and the who cares attitude of Charlie Johnson (Vocals,Upright). This record was not meant for release, but the sound and vibe on this recording is so fantastic that the Royal Pawns had to share it with everyone. No polished computer overdubs here, just a few guys in a basement shootin' from the hip with some vintage gear...and beer. a {color:F62613 !important; text-decoration:none !important; text-transform:none !important; font-weight:normal !important; font-style:normal !important;} a:hover {color:B3D0F0 !important; text-decoration:none !important; text-transform:none !important; font-weight:normal !important; font-style:normal !important;} a.text, table div font a, table div div {visibility:hidden;} table table div font a, table table div div {visibility:visible;} img {border:0px;}

Well...my apologies for not making it down tonight...I was trying to get around to come out and decided I am still too tired and dragging after still trying to get over the virus going around and a long week at work...NOT enough energy to tackle the drive let alone enjoy the show. Sigh. Hope you caught the READER column...guess the editors changed up the art for the Hoshaw photo...spose the CD cover didn't look so good in B&W. Hope tonight was a great night! B.
