Confession of my Addiction!

My Names is Leadfoot and I have an addiction!

 

They say the first part of recovery is to admit you've got a problem and I have to admit that I have an addiction! Last night  after coming off stage at the Icklesham Beer Festival I had a realisation just how serious my problem has become. I'm completley hooked on playing Cigar Box Guitar Rock Blues live! Playing on a big stage and through a professional PA with Sound and Light engineers was a real buzz and rush. I loved being up…

Delta Blues: Last Dime Blues

Guys, this song is a blues on my home made CBG and canjo, and a normal blues guitar. The lyrics is by my friend (writing & singing). I play on the CBG and canjo, Andy plays on blues guitar.

We made this song to establish a memorial from the old Europe, Hungary for those poor black guys over there, at the Delta, because they were the roots. The story is simple: a woman, some…

CBG Festival UK

I just wanted to post my very positive comments about the first CBG festival in the UK, held last weekend (3rd October) at the Crossroads Blues Club, Birmingham, UK. It was hosted and led by Chickenbone John, ably aided by Ken Stratford and friends and staff at the venue. It was a fascinating day, I learnt a great deal, met some great people, heard some even better playing, and to cap it all off Hollowbelly played the main gig at the end of the day. What more could you want? It was great… Continue

Bluesboy Jag at the Ozark International Blues Festival 5/29, 30

Eureka Springs Ark. I'll be conducting a cigar box guitar workshop as well. Lots of jamming and hill country blues at this fest, no poseurs or rock acts that claim they play blues, this is the real deal.

I'll also be playing at the Deep Blues Fest in Minneapolis this July, if you're in teh area, stop by and say hi.
