Info:
We've put together this Texas blues night with a who's who in Texas. All musicians involved have written music history and are still writing it. Actually, only Jimmie Vaughan is missing. However, with Anson Funderburgh there is a guitarist on stage who has an equal quality and musicality. With Sue Foley probably the best guitarist in international blues is on stage at all. With Johnny Moeller, a guitarist joins the band, who on the one hand is responsible for grandiose guitar work with Kim Wilson's Fabulous Thunderbirds. On the other hand, Johnny is a busy sideman and session musician. For example, atthe Severn label, where he is part of the house band.
Vanessa Collier, an up-and-coming younger saxophonist and vocalist we've been following for a few years, will be joining the band. The rhythm section is also beyond reproach. After all, it is Jay Moeller and Jon Penner. Both Antone's steeled musicians who are among the best in their field. All these musicians will present a Texas Blues Night that has never been seen before in this form.
Vanessa Collier is certainly one of the most talented young voices in soul, blues and R'n'B. The Berklee graduate not only plays the saxophone superbly, but also has a great voice. At the age of new Vanessa takes up the saxophone. While still a student at the world-renowned Berklee School iof Music, she goes on tour with blues legend Joe Louis Walker. Shortly after, Vanessa launches her impressive solo career with great recordings and stirring live performances. Vanessa has won the US Blues Music Awards Best Saxophonist award in 2019 and 2020.
Sue Foley is a living blues legend and perhaps the best blues guitarist in the world. She has been active on the international blues scene for several decades. She has released countless recordings and is highly regarded by musicians such as ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons and Jimmie Vaughan. She has performed regularly at Groove Now for many years. Her concerts are usually sold out.
For many years, Anson Funderburgh has been considered one of the most influential and important blues guitarists in the world. Born in 1954, the Texan has played blues exclusively all his life. His style is strongly influenced by Freddie King, Albert Collins and Jimmy Reed. Artists like Delbert McClinton, Boz Scaggs, Jimmie & Stevie Ray Vaughan and Ronnie Earl became his fans. After being a member of the legendary Fabulous Thunderbirds, Funderburgh launched his solo career in 1981. He has appeared on countless releases and recorded numerous recordings under his own name. For this he has received many awards. Anson Funderburgh is also a producer in demand.
We have wanted to sign Johnny Moeller for many years, as we consider him one of the most interesting blues guitarists of the younger generation. Since he has been a permanent member of Kim Wilson's Fabulous Thunderbirds since 2007 and has to be on call for his boss, this has not been that easy so far. Now it has finally worked out. His drummer brother - Jay - was also a "T-Bird" for about ten years. Both brothers are also known as The Moeller Brothers. Jay plays - besides his brother Johnny - with many other musicians like Lazy Lester, Lou Ann Barton. Charlie Crockett or Gary Clark Jr. And participated on a record by Eric Clapton. Both were born in Forth Worth (Texas). They both live in Austin. Johnny with his wife and three children. Jay with his girlfriend of many years and five dogs.
Last but not least, with Jon Penner we have not only the bass player of Sue Foley on stage. Jon istebenfalls for many years as a professional musician and - in the legendary club - Antone's steeled. A great bass player.
Whoever misses this Texas blues night has only himself to blame!
