Roots Review 8
Sorry for the late review folks, I have been over the top busy lately working on multiple projects, but once again our American Roots open mic was a huge success - this time thanks to John Powers & the Arturos! What a great young band. John Powers (a fabulous guitarist and vocalist) and the Arturos deliver a passionate, roots-based modern thing and make you believe it.
There were so many players in the house again that I know one or two got away from me without getting a chance to play. Again I am sorry.
Help!! Volunteers please.

American Roots 8 went late, top heavy with legendary local players. Tommy Fuller, Johnny Charles, Mike Caruso all on stage together - awesome, with John Powers and Ed Pampani playing drums. This is why I say there is no other show like ours anywhere.
Special thanks to Walter Foot, Snakeman Runyan, Gene Downin, Steve, Dorean, Chris O'Sullivan & Chet Smith, Len De Piano, Jim Somma, JR Bradfield, Arne Englund, Big Boy Kenny Nerbak, Rotten Robert, Bones Sanders and all who came to dig it.
Special thanks again go to The Rail ownership, management and staff, Sarah, Amanda, Jessica, Byron, and especially Nick for the American Roots $20.00 dinner and drink cerificates we raffled off and all the other cool stuff, too. And for coming up with the BB King Steak dinner special - a 20 oz. porterhouse with baby field green salad and skewered red potatoes seasoned just right- and it's only available on Roots night. Make sure you come early and get a great seat.
Very special thanks to Eddie Ray of Computown Technologies in South Bound Brook for his tireless efforts and Ed Pampani and Win.
Keep your spirit people and please continue to help keep American Roots music alive for the next generations. Thank you.
See you next Thursday at American Roots 9 when our guest host band will be - I'm pleased to say - John Powers and the Arturos. If you missed it last week - don't miss it this time - these guys are great - and great guys too.
And remember, you never know who you're going to meet down at the station. Word has it there might be two, additional very notable participants at American Roots 9.
Keeping it real,
Ned
