Best Wishes go out to Chuck on his future release! I want to recommend something that came to my attention. It's a book about the Local Music Scene here and DC and the names dropped will astonish you. I encourage all of you to visit the website and check out this book about the Local DC Music scene and who has come from it. CAPITOL ROCK is a comprehensive cultural history of Washington, D.C. rock
and roll. Focusing on the first twenty-five years (1951-1976) of rock music
in the nation's capital, author Mark Opsasnick skillfully combines overviews
of the city's flourishing nightclub and teen club scenes of the fifties,
sixties, and seventies with detailed coverage of local bands and musicians
including such greats as Lawrence and the Arabians, the Cherry People, the
Fallen Angels, Razz, DC Star, Link Wray, Roy Clark, Roy Buchanan, Jack
Casady, Danny Gatton, Punky Meadows, Nils Lofgren, and many others.
CAPITOL ROCK can be ordered directly from www.xlibris.com/capitolrock.html.
Additional info is available at: www.capitolrock.com. Rumor has it that Tom McNamara and Blake Gregory are putting together some music to take on the local road this fall.
Tom is a smooth accoustic guitarist with some down home blues licks and Blake plays the rhythm track along with the shared vocals duties of the two.
Looks like a debut coming for early fall/late summer of these two artists from Springfield, VA. Their accoustic duet should prove to be harmonious.
Catch Tom and Blake Coming soon to you!!! COMING RIGHT UP:J.P. McDermott and Western Bop!!
