The best little band in Des Moines, VooDoo3 is an explosive power trio featuring hard driving blues with a touch of classic rock and some funk thrown in for good measure. Originally called the Larry Chambers Band after their late drummer, Larry Chambers, VooDoo3 plays on in his memory with Reggie Upshur on drums and the ever funkadelic ET - Ernie Terrell - on bass.
What makes the band unique is that they often play outside their element - and they do it well. With the ability to cover just about any song from Whitesnake to Johnny Cash, they are quite comfortable walking into any venue. They listen to each other and play off of different moods and ideas. Ernie may lay down a different feel, even if subtle, and Reggie will compliment that every time. It makes for magic."

Friends, fellow musicians, music lovers I am most pleased to announce a new partnership with Lightning Red an exceptional blues guitar player and vocalist. Red very recently moved here from Austin, Texas where he competed for gigs with some of the country’s best talent. You can hear his music and read more about him at www. LightningRed. com Red said he wanted to form an acoustic blues duo to play restaurants and coffee houses in Central Iowa. I had been thinking the same thing for months. When he said he wanted to play a mix of originals and songs of the blues masters – Sonny Terry, Brownie McGee, Jimmy Reed, Sonny Boy Williamson, Little Walter, James Cotton, Muddy Waters, BB King and others – I knew we were in the same head space. After our first rehearsal I knew we had something. I think you’ll feel it the moment you hear us. As you know I’ve been doing this a while myself. See my “resume” and hear my music at www. myspace. com/CurryHarp I’ve been fortunate to connect with “Stoney” (Dave Stone) owner of three restaurants in the Des Moines area. At one of his restaurants, Waveland Café West/Booneville Bar, he spoke of wanting to extend his hours of operation on Sundays, have Curry & Red do something special at least once a month, and create a unique menu for that day only each time. I of course am excited to be a part of his growing business. The first event is this coming Sunday, January 25 from 3-5 pm. So, while Red and I sing and play some good time blues, you can stuff your face with gourmet pizza sandwiches, drink beer, tea, or whatever you drink. It’s a family restaurant with a reputation for quality, generous portions, and local ambiance. Directions: From Des Moines take 80 west to the Waukee/Booneville exit. Turn left/south on Ute Avenue. Go 2 miles to Waveland Café West and Booneville Bar, 3571 Ute Avenue, Booneville, Iowa. Curry & Red
