| 30 Laurie Morvan Band7:00 pm Blues $Ticketmaster cover Laurie Morvan BandMarch 30 @ 7:00 pm http://www.lauriemorvan.com/news.asp “L.A.’s Laurie Morvan is a member of that still all-too-rare club of female lead blues guitarists. On her third release, Morvan shows strong chops on guitar and a good ear for writing accessible songs. The overall result is an easy-to-listen-to blues-rock hybrid, not so different from what better-known artists such as Robert Cray and Bonnie Raitt have been creating for the last few decades. While Morvan credits Stevie Ray Vaughan as a specific influence, her playing is far more reminiscent of former Roomful of Blues guitarist Ronnie Earl. It’s got that Texas twang but with a jazz musician’s restraint and even elegance. She’s far more interested in playing well than in playing fast. As a singer, Morvan sounds a lot like Louisiana swamp blues singer Marcia Ball. She doesn’t show much range here, but has a nice growl and warm tones. And for someone who lives in SoCal and grew up in Illinois, she’s sure got a drawl to her singing. | 31 West of 55:00 pm $5 cover West of 5March 31 @ 5:00 pm Darci is blessed with a powerhouse of a voice and an infectious stage presence. She radiates fun and will absorb you with the versatility of her voice. George masters the guitar with tasty licks and spot on guitar tone. Bruce’s keys bring great depth and versatility to the sound of the band. He always has two hands on two different keyboards, with the perfect patch applied. People always marvel at Michael’s drum set. Then, they hear him play and are even more impressed! The guy has some fast hands! Complimenting Michael’s drumming is Frank on Bass. He’s usually smiling and captivated by the groove.
