Sanz Mantra Studio - Episode 15

Sanz Mantra Studio

“The blues are the roots and the other musics are the fruits. It's better keeping the roots alive, because it means better fruits from now on. The blues are the roots of all American music. As long as American music survives, so will the blues.”

~ Willie Dixon

More blues (and some shameless self-promotion) this week as I share some more home demos of rearranged blues standards in the lead up to the gig with my side project, Tuco’s Grill in a couple of weeks. I also have a look at how songs can be rearranged, repurposed and wonder how to tell when you’ve gone too far!
Tuco’s Grill @ Club Altona
Sun 6th March, 3.30pm
113 Civic Parade, Altona
