a true master of the blues. The road to success has led him
to performances and recordings with such icons as: Chuck Berry,
Johnny Winters, Robert Cray and John Lee Hooker. Influenced
by the greatest bluesmen in history, Michael Powers is one
of them with his own unique sound, style and soulful talent.
Jazz history aficionado, Dave Oliphant, will talk about the
enduring legacy of Eddie Durham and will co- MC the event with
Eddie Durham's daughter, Marsha Durham.
Other performers will include, New York's Whitney
Marchelle, San Marcos' “Dr.
G” & The Mudcats, Austin's
Stanley
Smith and the Jazz
Pharoahs with special guest Tony
Campise, and San
Antonio's Spot Barnett Trio.
The Sam Ash Music Company has had several specially crafted
guitars made to commemorate Eddie Durham in this Centennial
year. They have donated two of these guitars, worth more than
$500 each, to this year's Eddie Durham Music Tribute.
These guitars will be raffled off as part of the on-going
fundraising towards the creation of a permanent Eddie Durham
Museum here in San Marcos. Numerous other exciting raffle
and silent auction items will also be available at the Music
Tribute.
