The Ozark Blues Society of Northwest Arkansas is hosting an IBC send-off party and fundraiser at George's Majestic Lounge in Fayetteville on January 10, 2014.
The festivities kick off at 6pm featuring the 2013 OBS Blues Challenge Winners Lucious Spiller (solo) and Brick Fields and the Chosen Ones (band). There will also be a number of special guests sitting in that night.
A little about our Blues Challenge Winners:
Lucious Spiller - During the early 1900"s, Arkansas was a breeding ground for some of the world's greatest bluesmen. With his individual style of guitar playing and captivating vocals, a "soon to be" legend, Lucious Spiller easily belongs among these blues greats. Lucious is an intensely mesmerizing, electrifying blues showman. His self-defined guitar style and signature voice make him one of the very finest musicians of the blues today. His mix of old school blues injected with a contemporary edge makes him a truly amazing blues sensation. His original songs display his deep, heartfelt passion for the blues. Through his music, Lucious takes his listeners on an inspired trip to the crossroads of the blues.
Brick Fields and the Chosen Ones: The State of Arkansas has put out a lot of solid music and artists who have made their mark on this world. Brick Fields music is on their way to sit with the best of them. Nashville Blues Society has called Brick Fields music and “Unleashed cleansing of the soul”!
Brick Fields are husband / wife team Larry Brick of West Memphis, AR on guitar and Rachel Fields of Pine Bluff, AR on vocals. Add The Chosen Ones Jennifer Parker of El Dorado, AR on bass, Johnny Arredondo of Eureka Springs, AR on drums, Matt Jenkins of Rogers, AR on keys, and Ben Sass all the way from Israel on harmonica and you’ve got a solid foundation to set the soul nourishing music on course. The chemistry and musicianship existing among Brick Fields and The Chosen Ones has been said to take the listener on a journey through emotions, like the best of blues does. Hold on tight because just like their 2013 CD release says, Brick Fields and The Chosen Ones are going to “Go Ahead and Sang the Blues”!! Enjoy!
