SUMMARY:An Evening with Here Come The Mummies
DESCRIPTION:Here Come the Mummies is an eight-piece funk-rock band of 5000 year-old Egyptian Mummies with a one-track mind. Their “Terrifying Funk from Beyond the Grave” is sure to get you into them (and possibly vice versa). \nSince their discovery\, HCTM has been direct support for P-Funk\, Al Green\, Mavis Staples\, KC and the Sunshine Band\, and Cheap Trick; rocked Super Bowl Village; become a regular on The Bob and Tom Show; appeared on That’s My Jam with Jimmy Fallon; played massive festivals like Summer Fest\, Summer Camp\, Bluesfest Byron Bay\, Musikfest\, and Suwannee Hulaween; and sold tickets by the thousands across large swaths of North America. Maybe that’s why the ladies (and some dudes) can’t stop losing their minds over these mayhem-inducing mavens of mirth. \nSome say they were cursed after deflowering a great Pharaoh’s daughter. Others claim they are reincarnated Grammy-Winning studio musicians. Regardless\, HCTM’s mysterious personas\, cunning song-craft\, and unrelenting live show will bend your brain\, and melt your face. Get ready! Here Come The Mummies.

SUMMARY:Blues in the Box: Matt Schofield
DESCRIPTION:British born and now US-based\, Matt Schofield continues to push the frontiers and reshape the boundaries of the British Blues tradition. A multi-award winning guitar virtuoso\, singer\, songwriter\, producer and band leader\, after more than 30 years of performing\, and 20 years into his solo career\, Schofield’s impact as one of the most influential and distinctive guitarists of his generation is unquestionable. \nAlong with a storied career that has taken him and his band to nearly 30 countries worldwide comes awards\, industry and critical acclaim – three time “British Blues Guitarist of the Year”\, “British Blues Album of the Year” and the first guitarist inducted into the “British Blues Awards Hall of Fame”. Mojo Magazine “Blues Album of the Year”and Guitar & Bass Magazines “Top Ten British Blues Guitarist of All Time” alongside Eric Clapton and Peter Green. \nSchofield’s fluid and melodic playing and iconic tone has inspired legions of guitarists\, and a sought after line of signature instruments and equipment including a Two-Rock Matt Schofield amplifier. \nWhat remains ever impressive is Schofield live. From main stages at prestigious festivals such as Montreal and North Sea Jazz\, to packed houses in legendary clubs like New York’s Iridium or London’s 100 Club\, Schofield’s ability to connect with audiences immediately and profoundly is unforgettable. His authenticity\, mastery of guitar\, emotive vocals\, and improvisational brilliance are brought to life within his innovative original compositions. \nA renowned musical educator\, in 2018 Matt released “Blues Speak”\, his highly acclaimed TrueFire instructional series. As a clinician he has taught from Tokyo to Texas and all points in between. \nMatt’s upcoming record reunites him with his original and much loved organ trio line-up\, to mark the 20th anniversary of the album and band that launched his solo career.
