This week’s stops start at the Brauerhouse in Lombard, IL, just outside of Chicago on Thursday. The next night, Friday, we’re at Lee’s Liquor Lounge in Minneapolis headlining a Deep Blues triple bill with Javier Matos and his new band Junkyard Dogs plus the awesome hill country killer Jay Lang. And on Saturday, its double Scissormen. We play the brunch at Minneapolis’ Hell’s Kitchen from 10 to 1 p.m., then hit Annandale and Rich’s Bar at Russell’s for a night of wall to wall insanity. It’ll be great to see all out Minnesota friends again and get back to the Windy City. Get more details by clicking the “Tour” button on this page —— AND KEEP TUNING IN TO B.B. KING’S BLUESVILLE, WHERE WE’RE NUMBER EIGHT ON THE “PICKS TO CLICK” CHART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SCISSORMEN GO TO MEMPHIS! AND HEADLINE HATTISBURG ZOO BLUES FEST (May 11 and 12)
We’ve got two great appearances right after the Blues Music Awards, which Ted will be attending this Thursday.
Look for Matt and Ted the night after the Blues Music Awards in Memphis — on Friday, May 11, at the Rum Boogie Cafe on Beale Street at 6 p.m. Scissormen will be playing the VizzTone label group showcase, sharing the stage with Peter Parcek, whose album Ted produced. Peter and Scissormen play from 6 to 6:45 followed by the Greg Nagy Band, Beverly McClennan and Diunna Greenleaf. It ends by 9, but the music continues with the VizzTone All-Star Jam featuring Bob Margolin and friends, where you just might see a little more of us.
And on Saturday, May 12, we headline the Zoo Blues Festival in Hattiesburg, MS, at the Zoo’s Kamper Park. Our set is at 7:30 p.m., but music starts at 10 a.m. and the line-up includes Cedric Burnside, Robert Bilbo Walker, Thomas Jackson, Blue Mother Tupelo, Mark Mann, Sweet Jones, the Red Stick Ramblers, and Big T. Tickets are available on site for $10 for adults, $7 for under 18. A great bargain for a great day of music!
