Sand Dollar Blues Benefit Event REX REVIEWS

The Stoney Curtis Band closed up the day for the 12 hour blues charity event on Sat May 19. Unfortunately, this was the only group that I caught, but boy did they really play a show. The gig included a mix of instrumentals and vocals, even featuring a couple covers of Dick Dale and Del-Tones surfer style music. Both the bassist and guitarist switched instruments and vocals several times; the drummer and keyboardist sang a song here and there. Sit ins including a saxophone and harmonica brought even more depth to their rich and varied sound. I was awed when the guitar/bassist (not Johnny Z) played guitar and harmonica at the same time, performing solos on both. The show was truly outstanding. It doesn’t get much better than this.

My advice: catch their next appearance at the Sand Dollar on June 9th.
