Fade To Blues At P-House 10-24-14

Fade To Blues performed their live blues show at Panther Mountain Inn, Chestertown, NY on Oct. 24, 2014 from 9p to 1a. Believe it or not, this was their 1st song of the night and one of my all time fave blues songs ever, so I'm glad I was able to film this to share here. What an experience, live blues is sometimes so hard to find up here in the boonies.

Fade to Blues had Hank (far left) subbing on that night for their regular guitar player, and Hank rocked that old style guitar, with such a sweet sound & a shiny chrome finish to his axe.

These guys are down to earth & very very talented, specializing in Texas blues. They perform Stevie Ray Vaughan like I've never heard before. Check them out if you get the chance! For more info and booking, see their band link below:

I only got a few videos that night as I'd been sick with the flu for several weeks & ended up home early. I'll be out next week, and I'm finally over the flu this weekend, just in time for the show on Halloween for the costume party. Join me :-)

One of my favorite classic blues songs they covered was this Robert Johnson incredible jam.

Below is the playlist of the videos from Friday night at the Panther Mountain Inn, Chestertown, NY with Collette and The Mudcats on 8-29-14. What a fantastic show! Since I've filmed them several times before, I only filmed relatively new titles this time (songs I have not filmed by them before, not necessarily new songs). The playlist starts with the newest show videos and in descending order to oldest show. Enjoy & share your love of blues originals and covers by an incredible local band here in upstate NY.

Fade 2 Blues 6-13-14

Fade to Blues are normally a 3-piece band but on this night they had an awesome keyboard player friend of theirs, Skip Smaldone of Glens Falls NY, plus several guest musicians, singers and a few dancers & other silliness going on. Crowd pleasing music that had us singing along (yes even me, ==blush==) and the dance floor packed wall to wall most of the evening.

Unfortunately I had pulled my back out the night before their show, so I wasn't able to get my usual active angles, though I got plenty of close ups and unusual perspectives despite the pain, I just couldn't help myself, the music moved me so deeply I had to try and capture that energy to share with music lovers like me, who don't just listen, we FEEL the rhythm and share in the energy flowing.

This video below starts the 22 song playlist of Fade to Blues videos from 6-13-14.

Playing true West Texas blues, some of the best I've ever seen or heard, both covers and original music, the Fade to Blues band performed live on Friday June 13, 2014 at Panther Mountain Inn Pub in Chestertown, NY from 9p-1a, both a full moon and Friday the 13th, a rare night indeed.


I really loved the energy of these long blues jams, with some songs 13 minutes long and most over 5 minutes, incredible lead guitar solos and keyboard solos. There were even a few sexy men & women who danced for the camera, front and center! I know we'll be seeing a lot more of this band in the months to come, and I plan to re-film another of their shows ASAP. Maybe next time I'll be able to even dance & leave the camcorder on a tripod for once (just briefly, you know I'm a hand held gal all the way ;)

Collette & the Mudcats LIVE 3-21-14

I've filmed many amazing shows since I last posted an update, but somehow never got to posting them here. Spank me, I deserve it, I know. Today I've got some blues done right, originals and covers by one of my top fave local bands, with a playlist at the bottom and a sample video here:

Joe McDowell & friends with guest guitarist Jim Dower (?) are the same band without Collette singing, with the addition of a fantastic new guitarist jamming just this night (so many guest musicians sat in this night, including 2 drummers and a conga player) and get their own billing. Joe on harmonica was killer this evening, I'm so glad I didn't miss this show. Lucky for you, I happened to capture some of their greatness on video:

Collette & the Mudcats, McDowell and Friends included, playlist from 3-21-14 show at Panther Mountain Inn, Chestertown, NY 9p-1a, with the newest show videos (& their own original song & music video for Carolina) up top followed by previous performances below. 








That's all for this update, however I promise to post regularly again after each show, as I always did before. So stay tuned ;-) Thanks & enjoy!
