Topic: Walter Trout, Harper and Joe
Howdy folks. Don't post much to the forum but peruse it every day or so. Just got back from seeing Walter Trout in Roanoke, Va. at the Blue Ridge Blues and BBQ Festival. What an awesome show and if anyone has not had the chance to see Walter live it is a must see. Played for 2 hours and the only thing missing was having Joe and Walter playing "Clouds On The Horizon". Got a chance to meet Walter after the show and was wearing the Joe fall tour t-shirt and before getting a chance to say anything Walter said "That's got to be Joe, where'd you get the shirt?" Told him the fall tour and had seen Joe in Richmond, Va. He said what a great guy Joe was. Spent more time talking about Joe and his music. Did finally get to ask a few questions to Walter.
Also heard a band called Harper that must be heard. Harper was from Australia and plays the harp and didgeridoo (an Australian Aborigine instrument). The guy is the best harp player I've seen or heard in years and great vocals. Excellent rythm section too. Bought a couple of their cd's at the show and sound great.
