“That Ain’t Blues” CD Release Party with Steve Morgan and the Kingfish!

“That Ain’t Blues” CD Release Party with Steve Morgan and the Kingfish!

Presented by Cultural Center of Cape Cod at Cultural Center of Cape Cod

Table seating. Dance floor. Steve Morgan and the Kingfish play modern blues and R&B. Unconventional and intriguing chord and harmonic choices in the original tunes let you know these ain't the same ol' blues. Steve started playing blues in St. Louis MO in the late 1960s, picked up slide around 1970, and has not quit playing yet. Deeply steeped in the history and traditions of the blues, seasoned by jazz and the Caribbean, Steve brings those influences to bear on the original tunes, many of which are not even remotely 12 bar blues tunes, but remain clearly blues. "That Ain't Blues" is the third CD of original material from Steve Morgan and the Kingfish, the Outer Cape band that won the 2015 Boston Blues Challenge and were 2016 quarterfinalists in the International Blues Competition in Memphis. “That Ain't Blues” continues to explore the musical path already forged by "Hurricane" and "Blues in Paradise", the two previous CDs. It swings, it gets funky, it pushes the boundaries of the blues, and it has some fun.... If you like great vocals, hot soloists, and you can dance, you don't want to miss this band. In addition to new tunes by Steve Morgan, this is the first Kingfish CD to feature vocals and tunes by bassist Roe Osborn, keyboard player Pete Mann, and vocalist percussionist Bryant Edwards, making this very much a band effort. Also playing with Steve, on guitar and vocals, are Ed Wanamaker on drums and Paul Lesniak on sax. Don’t miss this great chance to dance! Bring your own refreshments. (Coolers are welcome.)
