T Model Ford With the Congregation June 1, 2011

Featuring:
T MODEL FORD
T-Model's credentials are impeccable; if anything he's over qualified. He was born James Lewis Carter Ford in Forrest, a small community in Scott County, Mississippi. T-Model thinks he's seventy-five but isn't sure. He was plowing a field behind a mule on his family's farm by age eleven, and in his early teens he secured a job at a local sawmill. On a typical night Spam and T-Model will arrive at the club and unpack T-Model's guitar and amp, and the bass drum and snare he allows Spam to use. When T-Model feels there are enough people, they start banging away in their own post-war Peavey-powered hill stomp. It's nothing unusual for T-Model to play eight hours a night. They keep going until no one's left standing. After his equipment's packed up T-Model will coat himself with Off and climb into his van to crash.

THE CONGREGATION
The Congregation plays a righteous combination of blues, soul and rock & roll. They do it the old-fashioned way, the way Otis Redding, Ike and Tina Turner, Howlin’ Wolf, Aretha Franklin and Bo Diddley did it– real instruments, raw and powerful vocals, down and dirty soul. This female-fronted powerhouse will take you from "aw, shucks" to "Goddamn!", before you know what slapped you in the face. When it comes to the songwriting, you won't find any sugarcoated love songs here, you'll get a little bit of longing and a whole lot of wronging. The Congregation's debut EP, "Not for Sleepin' ", showcases their signature style of bluesy garage soul.

WHITEY MORGAN AND THE 78S
Whitey Morgan and the 78’s are a Honky Tonk band from Flint, Michigan. They haven’t re-invented the wheel, they just picked it up and started it rolling all over again.

ME & THE DEVIL
Formed in the spring of 2009 Me and the Devil has quickly become known for their live shows playing raw acoustic country and blues roots. The kind of music you would have heard in some run down juke joint or middle of nowhere honky tonk. They will either make you get up and dance or cry in your beer. It's simple honest music played from the heart. Thanks for taking the time to check us out, hope you dig our tunes.
