Broadway Phil & the Shouters "Industrial Strength" Blues

Broadway Phil and the Shouters Rock The House!
Broadway Phil and the Shouters cruise into their second decade with a century of collective musical experience, gained from countless club dates as well as stints with Huey Lewis, Paul deLay, Little Charlie and the Night Kats, Coco Montoya, Curtis Salgado, Roomful of Blues, Roy Rogers and others. With the Shouters' "Industrial-Strength" approach, Blues and roots take on a different tone and meaning. A thumping shuffle or slow lament take twists and turns of phrasing and delivery to become something rare in modern blues and R&B: something new. It is this craft - with both lyrics and music, originals and interpretations - that is the hallmark of the Shouter ensemble. They have taken their howling groove from their Southern Oregon base to clubs and concerts from Maui to Memphis, and their original music has been played on radio stations from San Francisco to Prague. Broadway Phil and the Shouters' new CD, "Rhythm and Dues," has received excellent regional acclaim and much radio play in the Northwest and California. It is available on Amazon.com, in selected stores and at Shouter concerts. The Shouters' debut CD, "Rock Bottom," has sold out and is only available in cassette.

I've been playing these blues for a long, long time
And I ain't too old to jump
I've seen the Apostles of rhythm and rhyme
Holding church in a downtown dump.*

Broadway Phil's harmonica and vocals are backed by the house-rockin' Shouters: Gary Davis, Bass, Rob Gunderson, guitar, and the original Shouter, Dave Mathieu, on drums. Their howling groove will make you dance, shout, shake off the blues and fall in love with Saturday night all over again.
