YellowDog Records' Chris Cotton and the New Hokum at Sully's, Fr, Ap 28, 10 pm

Chris Cotton & The New Hokum 3's from Lagunitas, California, will slide into Sully's Tavern @ 10pm, Fr, Ap 28, says L Camp of AmFuel.Zodiac.com. Chris was nominated for Best Traditional Blues Recording of the Year by BluesWax magazine for his latest album, I Watched The Devil Die, claims Camp.

I like Camp's copy on Cotton: " Chris' particular style of picking guitar hearkens back to an earlier time when country blues artists traveled from town to town playing at fish-frys, reunions, and juke joints. He learned the traditional Piedmont style of finger-picking from the older blues musicians
busking in the french quarter of New Orleans, LA, when he resided there."

From fish frys to the Piedmont to the Crescent City. Well, well, momma. I rather like the idea of Hokum with sitar, don't you?

$5 cover, 10 pm. Sully's, 200 Travis St. 318-673-0048.
