| Thursday 2/16/12 Brian Lee & The Orbiters Check out the NEW CD "Identity Theft" It's a hit! You'll be hearing a lot about this CD from your Blues buddies! Brian Lee & the Orbiters are based in Seattle, Washington, and are one of the premier bands on the Northwest blues scene. Brian fronts the band with melodic vocals and superb guitar, slide guitar, and blues harp. Brian has lead the band since it's formation in 1999, initially called the Blues Orbiters. The "Orbiters" name evokes the concept of the band-- a "broad orbit through the blues universe".
Brian's blues influences from an early age include Elmore James, T-Bone Walker, Big and Little Walter, Johnny Watson, Guitar Slim, Peter Green, and later additions such as Jr. Watson, Jimmy Vaughan, Rick Estrin, Gary Smith, etc... Brian has lead the Orbiters to a prominent position in the Northwest blues scene based on their engaging and energetic delivery, top-flight musicianship, and great repertoire of original tunes and gems from the blues tradition. Brian and the band are serious in their musicianship, but have serious fun when they perform! Without gimmicks, the focus is on delivering a great performance of great tunes that are perfect for both dancing and listening.
Band members include some of the finest players in the area: Guitar:Steve Yonck contributes to the Orbiters sound with his superb guitar work. Steve is deeply versed in the blues tradition, and he is an exceptionally fine guitarist. He has previously contributed to several top Northwest bands including the Hudson Blues Band, Kim Field's Titans of Tone, Harmonica Playboy and the Midnight Movers, and earlier performances with the Orbiters. His distinctive style is a superb complement to Brian's slide, harp, and guitar playing.
Drums: Russ Kammerer performs with both the Orbiters and the Trio. He's a superb drummer who really drives the groove with energy and finesse. Russ's playing demonstrates incredible versatility, polish, and expertise that comes from many years of professional touring performance. He's a fantastic player!
Bass: Hank Yanda plays bass with both the Orbiters and Trio. Hank also provides superb vocals. He's an amazing player who also has been on the scene for many years, and his experience really shows . He is a truly remarkable musician who really understand the blues.
Brian and the Orbiters have been honored with several "Best of the Blues" nominations by the Washington Blues Society. For 2011, Brian has been nominated for "Best Slide Guitar". In 2010, Brian was nominated for "Best Male Vocalist", and the band was nominated for "Best Blues Act", and "Best Traditional Blues Act".

The band originally consisted of Don Forsyth, Diane Forsyth and Billy Reed. They rose to fame with their debut international album, Town Hall Brawl (1996). In the following year, they released their second international album, Town Hall Brawl’s Back (1997) and simultaneously in the United States, which continued the group's success worldwide. They rose to superstardom with their album Brawlinneum (1999) and its follow-up album, Black and Blue and Brawled (2000). After a three-year hiatus, the band regrouped and have released their comeback album: Never Gone Brawling for a While (2005), as well as two further albums Unbrawlable (2007) and This is us Brawling (2009). O.K., that's their official band statement, but truly folks, what we're talking about is going back to Roots music...a little blues, a little country, and mix in a dollop of soul and perhaps some R&B and what do you have? The Town Hall Brawl, that's what! You want some music that will truly move you? Get you back on your feet again? Then get on down here and listen to what these guys have got to tell you! Diane's got a firm grip on her bass, that fits her unique phrasing and lilting vocals, Don has some wildly innovative lead guitar work, Billy Reed does some sweet vocal work along with his rollicking keyboards, and Marty Vadalabene provides solid drums that hold things steady like a heartbeat to keep it all moving and fluid. They do sound different, they do mix it up, they do heal your blues wounds, contusions, and abrasions that society casually afflicts you with on a daily basis. It's Thursday night and you need a break! If you know what's good for you, you'll be here tonight! Remember, we are all ages! Music starts at 8 and goes til midnight! NO COVER Charge ~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~^*~ Hey, check it out! Marcia’s got your choice of Chicken or Shrimp Enchiladas baking in the oven, just for you!

Music starts at 8 and goes til midnight No Cover All Ages =0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0= It’s the 22nd Anniversary of Blues Thursday at Salmon Bay Eagles! For this Special event we have a SPECIAL Band for you! Thursday 1/19/12 Star Drums & Lady Keys Check the website and get some history on Leslie Milton, who’s one of the elders, and a major player in the NW Blues scene. He's someone you need to know more about, and has some interesting stories. BB Awards given to Leslie Milton: He was voted twice as Best Drums, has won Best Entertainer, is in the WBS Hall of Fame, and he was also voted in as a “Living Legend.” You don’t get that kind of recognition by sitting on your drum stool and twirling drumsticks…well in his case he did, and that’s an indication of just how good he is! I just wonder why he hasn’t won some recognition for his vocals. Les and Gael created a very compatable musical partnership; as Gael know how to determine keys and patterns, and plays by ear as well, and Leslie prefers to play drums and sing by feel to the story of the song. Gael is quite a musical library on her own with her knowledge of the old time greats, which surprised Leslie, as their musical tastes proved to be amazingly similar. They often invite various musicians to join them, so come on down and check out the action, with Les sittin’ behind the drums, and Gael at the keys, you know something good’s gonna be happening! Music starts at 8 and goes til midnight No Cover Great drink bargains! All Ages! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Marcia’s back rattlin’ pots and pans again, so come hungry, and grow that appetite!

If you have dance shoes collecting dust in your closet, now's the time to dig 'em out and shine them up for a good work out! Chris evokes hot, thick notes out of that big hollow bodied guitar that he plays with such authority. And why not? He's one of the best and well-known guitar teachers in the Pacific NW. He has shown the bones of how to make great music to lots of young souls out there. If you know of this band, you you don't have to read any further...proceed to Marcia's menu.

Music starts at 8 and goes til midnight All ages welcome No Cover ~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~ Thursday 1/5/12 Kimball & The Fugitives Featuring Stickshift Annie
Hot dang, we’re starting out the new year with something old, and I’m referring to a successful and very popular blues band that been playing at the club for quite a long time!...And that’s a good thing! People have been asking about when they’ll be back, and here’s the answer...IT'S NOW!! Dust off the dancing shoes and start practicing your moves, as you better be ready to dance your little feet off!
Originally from the Midwest, Annie settled in Seattle more than 20 years ago. She's been singing the blues and ballads ever since her coffee house days at Kent State . Her repertoire features straight ahead rockin’ roadhouse blues, to smoldering slow burners and swing tunes. Annie’s vocals combine elements of blues and jazz with a unique sultry, sensitive tone that she can shape to rock the house.
Kimball Conant was born in the city of Wichita, Kansas . He is also a former resident of Paraguay , South America . This long time Seattle musician calls upon a wide variety of influences to take blues and R&B to new places. “The first great guitarist I heard was my brother, Dave,” says Kimball, referring to the late NW Bluesman Dave Conant. “We play a lot alike, but different.” Kimball performs on his vintage Gretsch electric guitar in the distinctive finger style made famous by Chet Atkins and easily shifts to a deep down Jonny Winter style acoustic slide guitar for burning blues.
Larry Hill is a lifetime Seattle resident, and a 3rd generation multi-instrumentalist. He started playing bass in 1967 and has gone on to successfully play many different styles of music with many of the NW’s very best musicians. He has anchored the bass chair with Kimball & the Fugitives and Maia Santell & House Blend for several years.
Phil Bowden has made his living as a full time drummer playing a wide variety of styles including rock, blues, jazz, and big band. In 1997 he began to concentrate on playing the blues. He has played with Dave Conant, David Brewer, Mauva Bell, John Stephan, Maia Santell, Isaac Scott, and has been with Kimball since 2001. Music starts at 8 and goes til midnight All Ages No Cover!

You know the drill, it’ll come with cornbread and some kinda dessert that’ll soothe your sweet-tooth! Take some to go!!

Saturday 1/7/12 The Blues Buskers
Now for something new! A band that's not been previously featured at the Salmon Bay Eagles! Okay, from the photo, you probably recognized Suze Sims and Terri Wilson from the Red Hot Blues Sisters. In recent years, they have been the Washington Blues Society’s sponsored band to the Road To Memphis blues competition. They have also been nominated and received various awards at the WBS Best Of The Blues Ceremonies. They have participated in a whole lotta festivals, fundraisers, and WBS events, so I know you have seen them around the area. Tonight they will bring a select, smaller group of musicians with them, that will be more intimate and appropriate for the SBE venue than the bigger version of the band that has the whole panoply of horns, a string section, etc. It's a good thing you dusted off those dancing shoes last Thursday!

Thursday 12/15/11 Eric Madis & Blue Madness Eric Madis - Guitars & Vocals Brad Stoll - Bass
Martin Rush - Drums
Ron Weinstein - Keys Eric Madis is a guitarist, singer and composer whose playing and compositions reflect a love and mastery of the blues that have been supplemented and refined by years of experience in jazz, country, rock, folk, and Hawaiian music. What results are performances that include authentic renderings of old rural blues, personal interpretations of modern urban blues and jazz standards, and original music that defies strict categorization, but that draws heavily from all of these traditions. Eric lives in Seattle where he leads Blue Madness and the Eric Madis Trio, performs as a solo act and plays in several other Seattle area groups. He released his fifth CD "The Dues Will Never Be Paid in Full" on Luna Records in November 2009.

Zolton Kavonovich [aka Pat Hues] on B-3 & vocals These guys don't have a website, in fact you'll have to do some serious online searches to find out much about these guys. Don't worry, they are some of the most experienced and tightest musicians around the Puget Sound area. They have been together for many years and have that intuitive touch that a long married couple would hope to have. They don't really need to talk to each other as they intuit where the other fella is musically headed. They are known and respected so much that one never knows who may show up in hopes of being invited to share a tune or two with them. Danceable? Heck yeah! Listenable? dammed right!

On drums is Marty Valedebene, who has been accused of supplying the rhythm to many of the best bands around the area. On the Right [but he's rumored to be a liberal] is the multi-talented trouble -instigating, Rob Moitoza, who'll most likely do a some of his funk-based original material that'll have you alternating between his jaw-dropping bass licks that you've never heard from anyone else, and of laughing at his politically infused and ribald lyrics!

Yep, the Not-So-Intimidating Intimidator [once you get to know him] is having another B-day party, despite his reluctance to get any older. This will be a great night for music as the first set, The Ethan Freckleton Band will kick off the evening. Ethan is Bill's son, and my goodness, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree in this family. Check out what I stole from his Myspace page...while you're there, listen to a few of his songs, as he's really got something goin' on there. http://www.myspace.com/ethanfreckletonsongs Here's another spot to check him out http://www.reverbnation.com/ethanfreckleton "Urgency and passion flavored with pop sensibilities and a rooting in American rock n’roll, Ethan Freckleton was heavily influenced growing up around the blues and country bands his father played in; yet it’s hard to ignore the impact of the grunge era on his upbringing. All of this is apparent in his enjoyment of the melding of loud and heavy guitar sounds with soulful roots music...yet he's equally comfortable with an acoustic guitar taking his audience on a journey as he performs crafted, melodic story-driven tunes." The second set, David Brewer and The Intimidators drop kick things a little further down the party path! You know this band because lots of people show up everytime he plays the club and they dance their brains out! There's more than one way to be a Zombie, and this is the good way! You had better be there, or you'll be hearing about it later...

Ribs with the trimmings plus some extra sides to go with...that's in addition to the usual sides of salad, cornbread and dessert. For a measly $10. After all, it's a party nite!

Allison Bigelow / Percussion and Vocals We'll have Billy Reed on keys, Shankar on drums, Naomi Siegel on trombone, Big Dad Bigelow on tuba and the lovely Nani Helbig sitting in on fiddle. This is going to be one heck of a good night for music! If nothing else, they are different than most bands you hear at the club, and they are a fun group to dance to! Connie and Allison grew up in Detroit, Michigan during the heyday of Motown. They began singing harmonies together while listening to records and doing the dishes. In recent years they've sung back up vocals for a number of Seattle musicians and were members of the Extractions, a good time classic rock and blues band. Connie plays an assortment of electric and acoustic guitars and sings most of the high parts. Allison lays down funky percussion under her smoky contralto and plays acoustic guitar. This group has been here a number of times over the past couple of years and always bring in a good time. Music starts at 8 and goes til midnight No Cover charge All Ages Free Dancing!
