Had a great week in Atlanta and Tennessee doing festivals and clubs. John's project "The Rhythm Yard" went very well alongside my project "The Infinite Line" at Valley Fest in Dunlap,TN. WTM band invaded Sugars and had a ball.... Looking forward to so much more!!! These projects are all blues based but with subtle differences...
"The Infinite Line's" focus is on artistic concept and originals with some special covers/tributes that we pay homage to...
"The Rhythm Yard" is Drummer "John McKnight's" project diving deeper into the blues with John's great vocal and writing style...
WTM Blues Band is leader/frontman "Thorpe Mckenzie's" funky blues project. Thorpe has an ear for choosing the coolest obscure blues compositions I've ever heard. Its a learning process working alongside this man... The band is Thorpe Mckenzie on guitar/vocals, Preston Paris on bass/vocals, Johnny Smith on drums, Tim Starnes on Harp/lap steel, fiddle, Bernie Faulkner on keys/sax/vocals and me on guitar slinger!

I've re-united with a powerhouse drummer/vocalist friend of mine from Atlanta, "John McKnight" who brings to the table an extremely soulful and intense stage presence. John's soulfully large grooves lay the backdrop for my solo excursions to blossom, I am very thankful to have him on my team. On bass we have "Joe Lex Luther" a former "Atlanta Institute of Music" student. Lex has a very tasteful style that can play the pocket and then be progressive which fits the instrumental side of our mission very nicely. His tone is big, warm and full, great in this power trio setting. I'm looking so forward to playing some very special dates this coming new year. Our time has come so "speak our own truth" musically. Look forward to seeing you all! Peace always***
