Blues Jams
Blues Jams
As some of you already know, I am moving from Jakarta to PP in September.
I play blues guitar and have spent many years jamming with the blues community here, normally in smoky bars in front of fifty people and the occasional big event in front of a thousand ( I shat myself, but kept it together lol)
Is there a blues scene in PP ?
If not, what is the attitude with bands if an unknown Barang asks to sit in and jam with them ?
Are there any expats musicians that I can be put in touch with?
Cheers, guys.

Re: Blues Jams
Cool, at last!
I don't play much anymore, but I'd definitely like to meet up.
Contact Captain Bonez, he's a heavy metal nut, but I'm sure he'd be happy to jam.
Blues transcends all the other genres, I'm sure you'll find people
Contact David and Haley Flack, they know lots of musicians, also Scott Bywater. All are on on FB
There are also some Khmer blues players...in fact, when I listen to recitals on one of their traditional instruments(looks like a squashed sitar with a narrower neck) it's definitely bluesy, it would be interesting to merge the traditional Khmer one with blues and see what comes out, good way to get Khmers into blues.
Hope this helps.

Re: Blues Jams
Talking of Khmer blues, check this out:
There are a few open mike places around in PP, not sure of their names though as a lot of bars come and go here.
I like to play blues guitar, but am maybe below your standard. Anyhow, if you fancy a jam sometime pm me here.
Cheers

Re: Blues Jams
Hey Buddy. Jamming the blues has nothing to do with anyone being above or below the standards of others. It's the blues.AlonzoPartriz wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2017 10:27 am Talking of Khmer blues, check this out:

I like the fact that after almost 100 years of its birth, the blues has had an influence even on traditional Asian music.
I will for sure contact you when I arrive in 2 months.
Re: Blues Jams
It transcends all other genres. Very well put. Will be in touch. And thanks to everyone who has sent me contact names. Much appreciated.vladimir wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2017 7:18 am Cool, at last!

My favourite (Texas) blues man...a tortured soul, simple chords, great lyrics, a voice like sand and glue
The TEFLer song...

Re: Blues Jams
Yeah. A voice like sand and glue. That is how David Bowie described Bob Dylan on the Hunky Dory album. ( And Dylan's first album back in 1961 is indeed very bluesy ) But all those old blues men, and there are so many, did indeed have that quality. Never heard of Calvin Russel but will look into it.
