Pat Johnson / Maurice Roulette + Band in Athens, ON

SEEKING

ABOUT

We have been working together for many years, typically in blues based projects. Currently we are performing about 2x a month as an acoustic duet. Sounding reminiscent of "Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee".
We would like to step it up with a rhythm section.
Think - Chess Records

Here is a sample list of songs we will be playing
Sitting on Top Of the World - Howlin' Wolf
Divin' Duck - Yank Rachell, Johnny Winter
Big Road Blues - Tommy Johnson, Bonnie Raitt
Walkin' Blues - Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters
Someday Baby - Mississippi Fred McDowell, Muddy Waters
Come On Up To the House - Tom Waits, Willie Nelson
Love, Truth & Confidence - Sonny Terry & Browny McGhee
Hideaway - Freddie King
Stranger Blues
Trouble In Mind - Big Bill Broonzy, Freddie King
Key To the Highway - Big Bill Broonzy, Clapton
Chitlins Con Carne - Kenny Burrell, SRV
Crosscut Saw - Albert King, Robben Ford

Drummers will need to be comfortable with shuffles & train beats, both sticks and brushes.
