0 Noah’s Guitar For Sale

Washburn D10CEB Pro acoustic /electric guitar for sale – only one owner (Noah), this guitar has been played in the Dirty Bourbon River Show since its inception, in very good condition, completely set up, great intonation, stays in tune for entire gig, no matter how hard you play it, one small split in the surface finish in the front and standard pick wear on the guard, otherwise looks very good and plays incredible – new delrin nut, string pegs & saddle – this is a pro guitar owned and maintained by a professional musician.

Listen to the albums listed in our “music” section to the right – all acoustic guitar tracking was done with this Washburn. Works great as a studio guitar or a gig guitar. Pick-up/amplification very high for an acoustic.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

As a bonus, it has both a 1/4″ and XLR outputs, so you don’t have to use a DI if you’re running into a stage snake. Also has an onboard tuner & eq for lows, mids, hi’s + presence knob. And as a special bonus, I am including 10 sets of Dunlop strings, 5 sets of Martin strings, a new Martin neckstrap, a new Planet Waves black shoulder strap with locks, an used Hohner gig bag, a string winder, and a special Simpsons guitar pick featuring Auto the bus driver.

I’m asking $500 for the package, or you can make a bid on eBay. If you’re interested or have any questions hit me up at: contactingnoah@gmail.com

0 Blues you ough’ta know with Big Charlie: T-Bone Walker

a.k.a. Oak Cliff T-Bone

T-Bone walker is the reason the Blues is what it is today. Legend has it he was the first ever blues performer to use an electric guitar. He roamed the streets of dallas at age 15 opening for national acts and String bands. By the time he was in his twenties he was in Los Angeles headlinging on Central Avenue.

I know you’ve heard this one

Inspiring a generation of Bluesmen

Walker was the childhood hero of many many musicians. B.B. King bought his first electric after he heard “Stormy Monday”, and where do you think Jimi Hendrix learned to play with his teeth? Chuck Berry always listed T-Bone and bandleader Louis Jordan as his first influences.

Albert Collins and Jimmy Vaughn (Stevie’s older brother) talk about T-Bone’s effect on the Texas Blues

Only one week to go until our greatest fxxking show yet. Yessiree ladies and gentlemen, we haven’t been this excited in a while – got a huge one planned for you ~ its going down like this:

Saturday, April 2nd

The Blue Nile on Frenchmen

Show kicks off at 10pm with our dear friends from Greensboro, NC, the one and only Holy Ghost Tent Revival. This 6 piece string/brass extravaganza is the perfect mixture of foot-stompin’ love makin’ folk/roots/blues/dixieland/rock and more. Say hello:

Then, at 11pm, yours truly will be taking the stage, performing for you our newest album – Volume Two. Songs you’ve never heard, old familiars, and everything in between. Good friends, bourbon pours, fireballs and more. So excited to be sharing this newest one with you. We sincerely believe it is our greatest work yet:

And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, guess who’ll be closing out the evening? None other than New Orleans’ own the Tin Men. Washboard Chaz, Matt Perrine, Alex McMurray – these cats kill:

Tickets are $10, $8 if you click “attending” on the Facebook event, and free for those who pre-purchase the album on our Bandcamp site.

If you can’t make the New Orleans Show (which you should, even if you live 300 miles away) you can catch us and Holy Ghost in Baton Rouge on Thursday, Mobile on Friday, and Lafayette an Sunday with Chubby Carrier.

Don’t miss this one. It is going to be our greatest fxxking show yet.

0 Onward Soldiers Frontman Sean Gerard drops an Acoustic Session on his way to SXSW

Onward Soldiers Acoustic Session in New Orleans

We had the pleasure of having Wilmington, NC’s Onward Soldiers here in New Orleans last night with New Grass & Company at the Wolf’s Den. Today, on their way out to SXSW, they dropped by the studio and I recorded a dark, highly visual tune of Sean Thomas Gerard’s, their guit-slingin’ rhymesayer frontman. Check it out:

If you like that be sure to check them out in Baton Rouge tonight at the Red Star bar, and/or at one of their many SXSW dates.
