[GIG] Marc Miller Sighting
Posted by: tcswenson <tcswenson@...>
area that didn't show up for Marc's gig last Saturday night (THAT WOULD BE
EVERYBODY!), you missed a good show. I know: it was either be in Tacoma at
the Summit hearing Phil Keaggy, et al, or go to the Trail's End in Oregon
City & hear Marc. Kind of a toss-up...
Alice Stuart is a very good blues guitar player, associations with Bonnie
Raitt are inevitable, but Alice has a little more grit. And she's a better
guitarist, too. The tunes were not all bonehead 1-4-5 blues, either. There
was plenty of folk & rock-oriented material as well. Very cool.
The band was a trio: Alice on gtr, Marc on bass, and Matt (I can't remember
his last name) on drums/percussion.
Marc was in fine form. (Playing his Modulus Quantum 5 thru an Eden WT-400 &
Avatar 4x10) How many blues bands give the bass player a solo on just about
every other song? (Or maybe he was just *taking* the solos...) Must have
been doing something right, really.
Marc, if you get anywhere down here again, be sure to let us know. Always
good to see you.
