Re: [Harp-L] jason ricci @ mexicali blues

Ben,

When I did a freelance article on him a year ago that was the direction he
said they were going.
As he stated he was going to do more 'funky free form jam band styled
material.'
   His agent is currently booking him in the blues venues.  Perhaps if they
augumented that with
jam band events then the travel form blues clubs would not be so doggone
far.

They deserve serious radio play & a record deal.

James

PS evryone in a 100 mile radius should support them and request them at your
local premier blues club.
