Paul Rishell and Annie Raines with Eilen Jewell Band January 20, 2006

with special guests The Eilen Jewell Band

Although they have become known for their close attention to prewar acoustic blues styles, Paul and Annie first found their musical common ground in a Chicago/Texas-style blues band. Over the years, they have been privileged to share the stage and the studio with many fine backing musicians , including Troy Gonyea, Marty Richards, Chris Rival, Jesse Williams, Damian Purro, "Sax" Gordon Beadle, Scott Shetler, Billy MacGillivray, and Reed Butler

Eilen and the band will open the show, and join us later on in our set for a rousing finale! Featuring Johnny Sciascia on bass, Daniel Kellar (Tarbox Ramblers) on fiddle, and Jason Beek on drums.

Raines
This is the show that got zapped in December on account of snow, lightning and desire for hot cocoa (as they note on their web site). Paul Rishell and Annie Raines are members of John Sebastian's group, but they've distinguished themselves as fab blues performers, with Paul on guitar and Annie on harmonica. They're WC Handy Award winners, which, for blues players, is like winning the Grammy
