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!

Dan the Pole Dancing Man at Panther Mountain Inn 5-3-13

A couple patrons at Panther Mountain Inn, Chestertown NY, last night, 5-3-13, dancing around the poles. It's so rare to see a GUY dancing around the pole, had to capture this moment. Fun times at the local bar, sexy and hilarious too.

Collette & the Mudcats 4-5-13 Panther Mountain Inn

Collette and the Mudcats performed live at the Panther Mountain Inn, Chestertown, NY on April 5, 2013 from 9p-1a. Quite a repertoire of songs were played this evening from blues & folk, to southern & classic rock. With a new drummer (unnamed on their website), the band consists of Collette Blessing (lead vocals), Steve Pastore (lead guitar & vocals), Garard McDonald (vocals, electric, acoustic & piano guitar) & Joe McDowell (Bass, harmonica, vocals).

Voodoo Woman

Collette's famous voodoo doll mic stand adds hilarity to the show with some audience laughter as she explains a bit about it before the song Voodoo Woman. (Photo via their website, contact them using the link above for permission to reuse any images shown here).

My 1st love in music is classic blues rock, so this band is a win/win for me. Their show consisted of different songs than I'd heard them do before because they have a new drummer still getting familiar with the usual playlists, which normally include Johnny Lang for example, but didn't this night. 

Collette has a set of pipes such as I've never heard in a local band, and guitarist Steve Pastore has an amazing talent on lead. Garard played a guitar-piano on many of the numbers, something I'd never heard done locally (or in any band except perhaps Led Zeppelin). Joe's harmonica added the perfect notes to these classic cover songs, though I can't imagine how difficult it must be to play 2 instruments at once, each with a different melody, and keep them straight as he does so well.

Cadillac Moon - Long Island Iced Tea Music Video (Fan Created) 720p HD

I created this video today for my favorite song by Cadillac Moon, using common license materials. I'm still putting together an original content video for this song, have just hired several dancers from fiverr.com but I wanted to have one up meanwhile. I'm also still seeking people for the tattoo dancer video I'll be making next. Let me know if you or a friend might be interested in featuring in my next music video. Enjoy :)

My favorite song by Cadillac Moon, followed by Keep Me in Mind and Show Me Your Tattoo, in fact this entire LP is phenomenal. I've been a long time fan of Cadillac Moon since the late 90's when I used to travel the East Coast filming their live gigs. Since most of that footage is on a hard drive I need to get restored, there are no videos for Cadillacl Moon's music. Recently the band got back together for a reunion tour and filmed an hour long concert at the LI Blues Warehouse in Long Island, NY where these guys hail from. You can view that video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqdyLF1a48Q

Biography
CADILLAC MOON put out two CD's in the 1990's with Al Santoriello singing lead vocals: "PLUG ME IN" and "IN THE KITCHEN." The band got off the ground by getting top honors at the LONG ISLAND MUSIC FESTIVAL. The band went on to appear at SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST in AUSTIN, TEXAS, as well as at the Philadelphia Music Conference & the NEMO conference in Boston. Appearing in the film "DEVIL'S ADVOCATE" brought the group wider recognition.
CADILLAC MOON brought their exciting , original brand of funky blues-rock to both their songwriting and live performances. Their style was first and foremost about laying down solid, fun grooves. Their songs include bits and pieces of New York funk, New Orleans honky-tonk, and straight-ahead, ass-kicking guitar. The energy they generated during live performances always had crowds excited and groovin'.

17 videos from the show I filmed of Decadence (playlist)

I filmed this show 6-22-12 locally. Mostly folk rock, a blues & country music covers with 3 original songs from their Love Loud CD (released 6-29-12). A dynamic duo with some sweet harmonies, their talents blend perfectly together, on 2 acoustic guitars with 2 amazing voices and a surprising vocal range. Enjoy!
