The Church Of The Blues
Posted by Musician | Filed under Uncategorized
Last weekend Art and I joined Gary & Steve on stage at the Historic Dewdney Pub, AKA The Church of the Blues, for a mini set of about 5 songs (about 30 minutes), during the 3-7 pm Sunday Blues jam. It was a great chance for us to get a feel for the place before we play there next month on the 29th & 30th.
We were joined on stage by a keyboard player named Bob, who was a wiz at figuring out our Blues numbers. So for that 30 minutes, Deception was a 5 piece band. This was also a great opportunity for us to see how the local players who come out for the jam sessions, were used to the sessions being run.
After our set, Art & I stayed for the rest of the evening and enjoyed the music & some interesting conversations with some great local Blues players.
Special thanks to Dave & the rest of the house band who let us take over the stage for a half hour. It was greatly appreciated!
Deception is the Abbotsford-based blues band formed in the mid-90s by guitar player Art Panchishin.
