Brief news:
Our CD is now available at Apple's Itunes, BestBuy.Com, and CDBaby.Com.
Our CD received another positive review. this time by Mark E. Gallo in the February, 2003, Blues Bytes Online Magazine. It's reprinted on our CD page.
Our appearance as opening act for Chicago's great soul singer Otis Clay and his band garnered high praise from reviewer David Malachowski of the Albany Times Union (a fantastic guitarist in his own right- former Shania Twain bandleader currently with Savoy Brown) and Michael Hochanadel of the Schenectady Gazette. This concert made honorable mention for Times Union music writer Greg Haymes' "Season's Best" list of area concerts. Haymes also included George for "Best Unexpected Collaboration" for his duet with Otis Clay on Otis Redding's classic "Dock of the Bay."
Back in 2002 we took a Western tour, highlighted by a Fourth of July performance at the Portland Blues Festival in Oregon. Here's a bit of the response: "...the word on the street, from the blues cognoscenti, were all raves. I dug the intensity, and the way George and you guys dug in. " Peter Damman, Talent Coordinator -Safeway Waterfront Blues Festival/2000 Keeping the
Blues Alive Award- Blues Promoter of the Year (W.C.Handy Blues Awards)
We were voted Metroland's "Best Blues Band" for 2001...(third time in the past few years) Here's what they said: "Singer-guitarist Boone and his cohorts have snagged this prize before, but what caught our attention this year was the group's scathing new album, "Stranger in My Hometown", which captures how Boone's from-the-gut vocals and piercing leads interact with the passionate musicianship of his four sidemen. The George Boone Band play the real shit: angry, raw and tough as leather."
