Bluesday Tuesday features veteran Memphis bluesmen March 13
KASU’s next Bluesday Tuesday concert features Robert “Nighthawk” Tooms and Brad Webb, on Tuesday, March 13, 7 p.m., in the ballroom of the Newport Country Club, 703 Walker Drive, Newport. Admission to Bluesday Tuesday concerts is free, but KASU passes the hat to supplement the band’s payment. Tooms, a 30-year veteran of the national blues scene, switches effortlessly between harmonica and keyboard in several bands, including his own band, The Wampus Cats, when not authoring articles for the American Blues News website. Webb is just as versatile on bass and guitar, and both are mainstays in the Memphis blues community. Tooms and Webb have backed up such greats as B.B. King, James Cotton, Little Milton, Blind Mississippi Morris, Bob Margolin, Reverend Horton Heat, Jimmy Thackery, Fred Sanders, Reba Russell, Eric Hughes, and Richard Johnston, whose contemporary classic, “Foothill Stomp,” was engineered and mixed by Webb at his own studio in Memphis. For details, call station manager Mike Doyle at (870) 972-3486, or see the ASU News release.
