Jody's back!

Jay Carr has decided to leave the Big House Blues Band. As many of you may know, Jay has had his hands full since March with his new baby daughter Malea. Additionally, having his son (Jeramie) and step-son (Albert) both being very active soccer players has left Jay very little time.

We will miss Jay and wish him well!

The Big House Blues Band would like to welcome Jody "Muddy Britches" Addicott back as our bassist! Jody originally came on-board with BHBB in November 2005.

After a two year absence we are pleased to bring back the bassist and developer of those really cool lighted drumsticks Jimi uses called "Thundersticks". Rehearsals have, again, proven Jody has the right touch and feel for our tunes and we are looking forward to making some great music with Jody.

Please help us in making Jody feel welcome.



Recordings for the 3rd Album

We've finished moving Vinyl Wall Studio to its new location in Muskegon and are gearing up to resume recordings for our upcoming new CD. As we've mentioned in past updates, songs for approximately half of the album are currently in various stages of the recording process.

Due to the delay in moving the studio, we've updated the target for completion to mid 2009.

Promoter Pat Corbin is organizing another New Year's Steak N' Blues show to be held in Muskegon and, back by popular demand, the Big House Blues Band will be the headliner!

The Big House Blues Band had a fantastic time playing last year's New Years Steak N' Blues Festival and is looking forward to this New Year's event.

As is the case with these shows, a full steak dinner will be served from 6:30-9:30 PM [the steaks are provided, but you have to cook 'em to your liking] and there will be a cash bar. There will also be Hors d' oeuvres and party favors.

This is sure to be a great time and it WILL BE A SELL-OUT (it sold out very quickly last year) so get your tickets early (we want to see you there)!

Tickets are required and available at the following Muskegon locations:

Lakeside Eagles
2355 W. Sherman Blvd. (231) 759-0701

Meyer Music
1664 E. Sternburg Road (231) 865-7000
