The McCrary Sisters

Wow. I’m loving the vibe of the McCrary Sisters’ music! It has a great Blues/Motown kind of sound. ‘Makes you want to move!

It’s going to be fun playing guitar with them in Ohio tomorrow!

Check out their music on their website, Amazon and iTunes.

What an incredible talent and person the world lost. Thank you, George for being a light for others to follow.

 

I had the pleasure of playing guitar on the song “Crazy Love” on the new Katinas album, Love Chapter. The Katinas have a great vocal sound that is truly unique. Check them out on Spotify and iTunes.

I had a great time this weekend playing guitar for saxophonist Euge Groove in Nashville at Jazz and Jokes, and in Chattanooga at the Bessie Smith Cultural Center.

The band was a great group of guys: Anton Nesbitt on bass, Kenny Phillips on drums, and Karlton Taylor on Keys.

Euge has toured with Tower of Power, Tina Turner, and many others. Whether you need to hear some funky horns, or, relax with a smooth ballad, checkout his music.

Mike_Farris_Poster_Joshua_J_LutzRecently, I had the pleasure of playing with Mike Farris of Screamin Cheetah Wheelies fame. Mike has a powerful, soulful voice that wonderfully compliments his style of old spirituals intertwined with Texas Blues. But, what was most inspirational for me was not just his music (which was a blast to play), but his positive attitude during the struggles we faced over that weekend.

Our bus gave us continual trouble until it finally got so bad that we had to cancel the 3rd and final gig of the 3 days we were out. But, Mike continued to smile, and be an encourager. I want to be around people like that.

It’s good to see a Christian artist that is real and keeps a positive mindset even when things get tough. Mike’s been through a lot in life and has a great testimony of God’s saving Grace.
