Hey folks,
Hope you're all doing fine. Whizzing this out a few days in advance as we're heading off to the land of fine beer for a weekend away, so let's get on with it...
"A couple weeks ago now, we lost the great Dexter Romweber. Probably most well-known as a co-founder of the Flat Duo Jets, he also had a pretty storied career as a sideman for many big names and then with his sister Sara in the Dex Romweber Duo. His command of the stage, his presence, and his antics were legendary and, by all reports, way larger than life. Unfortunately, I never had the chance to see them - the Flat Duo Jets due to constraints of time and space and the Duo because I foolishly passed on the times he and his sister played in town thinking there would always be a next time. Alas.
While ruminating about Dex, I got to thinking about other larger-than-life stage presences which naturally lead to this week's artist. He's also a maniac behind the mic and takes complete control of the audience with his powerful, soulful voice and his utter commitment to the performance. I have seen him and his band -- in the same small room that Dex and Sara would frequent here in New Haven in fact -- and his performances are not to be missed. Fortunately, most of that comes through on the studio albums...so here's his most recent release from last year. Turn it up and boogie woogie!"
Right then. Download's here, and the stream's below:
See you 20:00 GMT on Sunday night!
