Blues Night: Mac Arnold & Plate Full O’ Blues POSTPONED
August 13, 2020 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Last season, Mac Arnold blew the roof off THE JAZZ ROOM. He’s back with his band, Plate Full O’ Blues, to do it again.
Blues
A style originating from the deep South, is steeped in American history. It’s call-and-response style is irresistible, and the 12-bar structure and blues scale were a major influence on rock and roll.
Mac Arnold
Mac’s first band included James Brown on piano. In Chicago, Arnolds toured and recorded with none other than the Muddy Waters Band, helping shape the electric blues sound that inspired the rock and roll movement. Moving to LA, his music career reads like a “who’s who” list of blues and R&B: producer on Soul Train, backup band for Otis Redding, B.B. King, and the Sanford & Son TV show. He has shared the stage with Eric Clapton, Big Mama Thornton and John Lee Hooker. Back to his South Carolina roots, Mac is serving up a mess of Blues with his own band, “Mac Arnold & Plate Full O’ Blues”. The band consists of Austin Brashier on guitar and vocals, Max Hightower on keyboards, harmonica, guitar, bass, and vocals, Scotty Hawkins or Dizzy on drums and vocals, and Mac Arnold on vocals, bass and Gas Can Guitars.
