Amp'ed Up For You-Tilities BBP

"Bottom Feeding since 1996"
Because of hurricane Florence the NC Seafood Festival was cancelled, the NC Seafood Festival is the biggest festival in NC, we get over 240,000 people from all over for the weekend of the festival, it's always the biggest gig for us. The organizers of the festival along with The Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament put together a hurricane benefit to help people out with power bills that have been damaged by the storm--they called it Amped Up For You-Tilities. We were stoked to be picked to be one of the nine bands playing this event, I was told that there were 45 bands that asked to play, the best part is that we did not ask them, they asked us! We of course donated our set to the cause. The videos were taken by a local music blogger and posted to her facebook page, it's a public page so I think the links will work.

Attempting the Blues
The band sounds really good. The drummer is pretty darn good- you should keep her.;)

Something seemed "off" to me on People Get Ready. I think I was hearing a "straight" eighth feel and I was expecting a 12/8 triplet feel a la Jeff Beck/Rod Stewart. But maybe that was intentional?

Beck/Stewart

My personal fave Eva Cassidy

Yes it is our own arrangement, we used to play it straight note for note Jeff Beck/Rod Stewart with the signature riff and 1/2 step key change when Aldrich played guitar with us, but we let Neal(current guitar player)just play what he felt and that is what we came up with, at first I was not sure I liked it but I think it's because the Jeff Beck version was so ingrained, I like it now, it's simple and very close to Curtis Mayfield's original version.
