Rodrigo y Gabriela (Rodrigo and Gabriela) are a Mexican musical duo who specialize in playing fast, rhythmic acoustic guitars. The duo's members are Rodrigo Sánchez, lead guitar, and Gabriela Quintero, rhythm guitar.
Before they became the most visible flamenco duo of the early 2000s, guitarists Rodrigo Sanchez and Gabriela Quintero bonded over heavy metal while growing up in Mexico City. They combined their talents for a time in the metal group Tierra Acida. Though they recorded some material, Tierra Acida never hit it big, and an album was never released. Instead, Sanchez and Quintero concentrated on learning more guitar styles, teaching lessons during the day and playing bossa novas in hotel bars at night. Bored and frustrated with their chances in the Americas, the two decided to try their luck in Europe instead. They soon bumped into Damien Rice who offred them a spot on his upcoming tour and that open up the doors for them.
Todays tune "Hanuman" is taken from the third studio album "11:11", it was released on 8 September, 2009. Each song on the album is a tribute to an artist that has inspired both Rodrigo and Gabriela and todays tune is dedicated to Carlos Santana
Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977), a was an American singer and actor. A cultural icon, he is widely known by the single name Elvis. In addition, he is often referred to as the King of Rock and Roll or simply the King. And i guess no more presentation is needed of this man.
Earlier this week it was a show at Rival, a tribute to the King "Elvis Forever" with Henrik Åberg (born 1976, a Swedish singer who won TV4:s competition program "Sikta mot stjärnorna" 1995, where he imitate Elvis Presleys song Blue Hawaii.) and Jack Baymoore (a Rockabilly singer) It was a pleasant evening with loads of classic Elvis tune.
Todays tune "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" is a song by Lloyd Price. It was first recorded by Price at the New Orleans recording studio of Specialty Records in March of 1952. It was released under the Specialty label in April and was number one on the Billboard rhythm and blues chart for seven weeks and stayed on the chart for six months. An 8-bar blues with a rolicking piano backup, with the words written by Price, but the melody adapted from the older Junker Blues (Champion Jack Dupree, 1941), it became the biggest rhythm and blues hit of the year and sold over one million copies by crossing over to the white record-buying market. It was the first hit from New Orleans to be accepted into rock and roll. The word lawdy means Lord. In 1956 the song was covered by Elvis Presley and stayed on the charts for ten weeks. And many others have covered this tune, even my house band Led Zeppelin did this one (in concert, 1970-72). Enjoy!
Dan Reed (born February 17, 1963, Portland, Oregon) Dan Reed actively toured Europe and the U.S. during the second half of 2008 and continues to do so in 2009. Selections from these live, solo acoustic shows appear on An Evening With Dan Reed, available at shows and at his official website. Coming Up for Air, a new solo album by Reed, is scheduled for release in Mars 2010. Yesterday Dan visit Västerås for a gig at Sigurdsgatan 25 and yes i was there. It was a happy Dan who entred the stage together with Tommy Denander (who is a guitarrist and producer who has been involved with with artists like: Eric Clapton, Paul Stanley, Toto, Michael McDonald, B.B. King or Fee Waybill, just to name some of them.) and Bengan Jonasson on bass. It was a great evening with Dan and nice to meet up with some great friends. The set list for tonight included some classic Dan Reed Network material as ("Ritual", "Stronger Than Steel", "I'm So Sorry", "Rainbow Child", "Get To You", "Lover") to some of the new material from the forthcoming album ("Coming Up For Air", "Losing My Fear"). It was a magic performance from Dan, he truley enjoyed to be on stage and deliver his music, many stories was told and of course some nice jokes too. Dan will come back in Mars next year to perform again but then with a full band and i'm really looking forward for that moment.
Got a few pictures from yesterday. First one, taken with my Canon :) and also one with my compact to show off Tommy on the guitar.

Three days ago these girls performed as an opening act for Markus Krunegård at Circus. I think this was the 2:nd time i saw them and they have mature, the voices are wonderful and they really hit me with the tune "Jagadamba You Might" i see a great future for these girls. Also heard that the younger girl will take some time off from school to be able to put all the energy on the duo. I wish them all the luck and yes i will buy the album "Drunken Trees" And i suggest that you do the same if you feel this is something you like.
