Welcome
to the Eddie Durham 4th Annual Musical
Tribute and Centennial Event. Check here for the schedule
of events.
This year,
the Musical Tribute will
feature New York's Michael
Powers Frequency Band.
Michael Powers is without a doubt
a true master of the blues guitar. 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 blues men in history, Michael Powers is one
of them with his own unique sound, style and soulful talent.
Other performers will include, New York's Whitney
Marchelle, San Marcos' “Dr.
G” & The Mudcats, Austin's Stanley
Smith and the Jazz
Pharaohs with special guest Tony
Campise, and San
Antonio's Spot Barnett Trio.
Jazz history aficionado, Dave Oliphant (author of Texan Jazz and The Roots of Texas Music ), will talk about the
enduring legacy of Eddie Durham and will co- MC the event with
Eddie Durham's daughter, Marsha (Topsy) Durham.
The Sam Ash Music Company has had several specially crafted
guitars made to commemorate Eddie Durham in this Centennial
year. They have donated one of these guitars, worth more than
$800, to this year's Eddie Durham Music Tribute.
This guitar 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 Musical
Tribute. |
