Always left me satisfied and smiling...

I had the pleasure of working with local avant-garde group "That's What She Said". They've been together for over a year in Mankato playing their unique mix of originals. They put on a heck of a live show and their dedicated fans have demanded a fix between these performances. 4 sessions in the KMSU studios produced 17 tracks at over 70 minutes of music. It is a work in progress that I hope you can be apart of when you see them in the future.

If you missed the show, check out the link below for an mp3 download.

All Allman Show

Gregg Allman released a new solo album a few weeks back. Consisting of 11 old blues covers and 1 new song, written with fellow Allman Brothers band mate Warren Haynes, Low Country Blues is a fine piece of blues music. One of the best things about new music from Gregg is knowing that he is healthy and still able to do what he loves, play music. As an avid Allman Borthers fan, you don't get much guitar playing out of him on stage. With Low Country Blues you hear Gregg playing a bevy of instruments all produced by the legendary T Bone Burnett. Dr. John joins in on Piano, guitarist Doyle Bramhall II, bassist Dennis Crouch and drummer Jay Bellerose.

I've got some great links down below including an archive recording of the show for your listening pleasure.
