B!’s a contender
January 21st, 2007
The Boise Blues Society has chosen well. After watching Lori and Her Boys perform at the benefit to raise money to send them to Internation Blues Competion in Memphis, it was apparent that ‘little ‘ol Boise†may win another national competition.
It starts with the band! “The Boys” are about the best you can get. The big guys build the foundation. Cory’s stoic delivery on bass is never flashy, just dead on the beat. Combine that with “Funky Music” Bob drums and you have a back line rhythm section strong enought to stand the heat at up front. A bit shy at stage left, “sexy” piano man Rex Miller lets his fingers do most of the talkin’, but man those digits sing. Rex controlled, silky key broad play may be Lori’s secret weapon.
Nathan Jay Moody has seasoned into one one Boise’s most accomplished musicians, at a mere 25, Nathan has a stage presence lacking in many players decades older. His triple their attack includes insightful song writing, unbelievable guitar work and a subtle unique voice. We may lose Nathan to Memphis.
Nieghbor Dave NathanThey don’t call her the â€Queen B!†for nothing and “upfront†means something, let’s say bigger lately. Lori B! and her Boys will be a contender in Memphis. Her sexy, dynamic delivery is just short of to much. From quiet slow blues to the fun and inspiring “the Blues Is a Blessing.†Ms. Lori B! Thomas commands attention and gets it.
We have seen how a focused well prepared team can take the national stage and represent Boise, Idaho. Boisee is predicting another big upset with Lori B! and the Boys.
Special thanks to Kay and Tracy at the 127 in Meridian for letting the BBS have our fundraise at their club. If you haven’t been to the 127 lately, stop by. The ladies have spiffed it up quite nicely.
BTW looks like with all your help we met and likely exceeded the goal of $5000.00 to help cover the cost of the competion.
