As
one reviewer mused: "Be careful, or Tom Principato could easily topple
one of your current guitar heroes from
their lofty
pedestal...", after 38+ years and a career that boasts over 15 albums,
23 "Wammie" awards in numerous categories from the Washington, DC Music
Assoc. and over 5,000 gigs which includes over 50 tours of Europe, Tom Principato has been taking his Indie infused eclectic roots mixture of
Rock, Funk, Blues and Latin Sounds all over the World----all along the
way leaving audiences wowed and slack jawed with his virtuoso talent.
One look at Tom's road worn Fender guitars and it's easy to see: Tom
Principato plays the hell out of the guitar.

JOANNA CONNOR BAND
WEDNESDAY
AUGUST 4
1 SHOW ONLY
8:00 P.M.-?
The
Joanna Connor Band is a frequent attraction not only at leading blues
nightspots but also as a featured act at major festivals in the USA and
Canada. Joanna has also developed a strong following in Europe, South
America and Japan. As a result of many overseas appearances, in Germany
she became very popular after being featured several times on national
television.
Joanna
Connor is a complete electric guitar package and vocalist
extraordinaire. She covers the range of modern blues, slide guitar and
blues rock with her own compositions very much influenced by funk, rock,
jazz and world music as well as delta blues. Her sense of melody,
phrasing and dynamics along with a very modern technique make her a very
funky, soulful and compelling guitarist. As for vocal abilities, if
Joanna wasn't a guitarist, she could easily be a lead singer in any
band.
Once
she stepped off a greyhound bus in Chicago in October of 1984, it took
Joanna but a few months to take the city's highly competitive blues
circuit by storm. Chicago magazine hailed her as "the most
exciting new talent on the blues scene." The Chicago Sun-Times
called her "a powerhouse guitarist with a sense of rock dynamics - her
playing has a fire that is free of self-indulgence."
Joanna Connor and
her searing slide guitar work have been raising eyebrows of blues
aficionados and critics everywhere ever since. As the Boston Globe
noted, "She brings a revved-up rock flavor to the blues with a
desire to move the music forward, not just embalm it." Her latest Blind
Pig CD, Slidetime, displays her maturity as a
songwriter, with all 11 tunes being penned by Connor. This recording
also features her trademark gritty guitar work and strongest, most
impassioned vocals to date.
Born in Brooklyn on August 31, 1962, Joanna was raised in Worcester,
Massachusetts from the age of four. Enamored of her mother's Taj Mahal
and Jimi Hendrix albums as a child, Joanna received her first guitar at
age seven and sang with various Worcester groups while still in high
school. She turned professional in 1981, forming the Pino/Connor Band
with guitarist Ken Pino, which performed at various clubs and colleges
throughout New England. She was named "Best R&B Vocalist of the Year" by
Worcester Magazine .
After arriving in
the Windy City, Joanna first joined the combo of slide guitar great
Johnny Littlejohn and began playing the local club circuit. In March of
1985 guitarist Dion Payton invited Joanna to join his popular 43rd
Street Blues Band, wisely featuring Joanna's talents prominently at top
local clubs such as Kingston Mines and the Checkerboard Lounge. Connor
set the town's hallowed blues bars on fire with her slashing lead guitar
work, her passionate slide solos, and incendiary vocals. Musicians that
Joanna idolized when she was growing up, artists such as Buddy Guy, Otis
Rush, and James Cotton, began to take notice. Joanna's reputation
continued to grow as she backed Payton on his track for the acclaimed
New Bluebloods album.
By
the autumn of 1987 Joanna was obviously ready to put together her own
band. She assembled the first edition of her own combo in between
extensive national touring with veteran tenor saxophonist A.C. Reed. Her
band became a full-time priority a few months later.
Connor's red-hot
debut album on Blind Pig Records, entitled Believe It!,
was released in 1989 and received outstanding reviews from critics
across the country. Cashbox said, "Ms. Connor is an
accomplished Texas-style blues guitarist with fleet fingers and a
razor-sharp tone. She slings a steaming guitar, literally burning
through every solo she plays." Pulse! called it "one of the
strongest new blues packages of the year. Connor simply kicks ass,
ripping off a variety of scorching solos."
Jim Gaines, Grammy
Award-winning producer of such artists as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Santana,
and Steve Miller, was so impressed by Joanna's talents that he signed on
to produce her second release, Fight, also on
the Blind Pig label. Billboard said, "Connor boasts a strong
voice and is a truly dazzling guitarist, with a flaming slide attack."
Playboy said, "The obvious comparison is Bonnie Raitt, since
she's female and plays blues guitar. I say Connor's a soprano Johnny
Winter. Most blues records miss the passion that made the original stuff
compelling. This one reclaims it all."
The Joanna Connor Band has gone on to become a frequent attraction not
only at leading blues nightspots, but also as a featured act at major
festivals in the U.S. and Canada. Joanna has also developed a strong
following in Europe, Brazil, and Japan as a result of many overseas
appearances. In Germany, she became very popular after being featured
several times on national television.
In 1996, Connor's
third Blind Pig recording, Big Girl Blues, was
released to critical acclaim in the press and the blues world. The
reviews echoed Connor's maturity as a guitarist and songwriter. The
Album Network called it "her definitive album." Living Blues
called her "a slide guitarist of ferocious intensity." Stereo
Review said that Big Girl Blues is "a
potent excursion that should establish her as a major blues writer and
performer."
The release of
Slidetime will no doubt further Joanna's reputation
as a major talent with an exhilarating sound all her own. She has earned
her place as one of the brightest stars of the new blues generation.
