Backyard Fun with John Nemeth! 7/07 by:mo
Alls I got to say is....Thank You KRSH and Bill Bowker for having him there!
It was such a blast. I hadn't been to but a few of these backyard shows and I had forgotten how fun they were. Then again, I don't remember them being so much fun for John really had the place a hoppin'!
A real fun crowd that loved what they were hearing as much as I was. And talk about a bunch of dancin' fools. It felt great and it was probably the show of the week, if not month, it's been awhile since I've jumped around like that. That guitar was makin' me do it.
I'm not sure where he found that guitarist but the kid was amazing.
Kedar Roy was on bass and I'm not sure who the drummer was but the whole band was tops! Way over the top.
John's singing is the show. And yes, the guy can blow some great harp but his voice is just so sweet. When he broke into that old " Come on in this house, yeah, this old house. When you hear me howlin'......" we all had to howl. Man, does he cover that song beautifully!!
And that guitar.....geeze. I wonder if he's the same guy that is on his first CD , "Jack of Harps". No, it wasn't Kid Anderson. He was with him the last time I saw John and we all know 'the kid'.
The crowd was showin' John some lovin' after the show after the show as well and his table was busy. You couldn't even get to the guy!. The crowd was gobbling up them CDs and stuff.
I already have all three but I was wanting to go up there and get more because that's how good he is. I hope he sold out. Looked as if he might of.
A great setting with a beautiful backyard, nice folks and a bunch I hadn't seen in some time, the sound was awesome, a nice dance area set up, beautiful weather, it just don't get much better than this. Thanks Bowker and to all the sponsors of this fun-filled event.
I do have to say that Smith & Bowker productions put on some pretty incredible shows. Real shows. Thanks again.
Lookin' forward to the Sonoma County Blues Fest next Saturday, the 28th.
Later,
Mo
