PokeChop and The Other White Meats

Bringing Rockin' Blues, Rockin' Soul, Rockin' Country, Johnny Cash and Rock and Roll to the Maine Riviera*.

staff Image of PokeChop staff

It's fall and time for new stuff:   That's right, fall is here and while the kids are back in school THESE kids are rockin' on.  Some changes are in the works.  Mighty Jeff and The Sawbuck Mark Sanborn brothers have chosen to move on to bigger and better things so that's nothing but opportunity for these white meats.  While we're back to being the powerhouse 3 piece rockin' roadhouse blues band we have a new member, Dave (2.0) Cipullo, now on drums.  

Oddly he and Ron share their college alma mater of Metropolitan State College in Denver, CO where they graduated OH SO LONG AGO!  We won't state dates at this time!  Meanwhile Dave is bringing a great attitude, and groovin' chops to the music now with Chad and Chop himself.  Come on out and introduce yourself soon.

New Tunes, new look, new swag, new venues!  All this characterizes Poke Chop and TOWM as we head into the fall season.  Yep, we're constantly adding new material based on so many of your suggestions and a little brainstorming of our own.  Don't forget we have stickers featuring original art (ask about Skinny Lynn Cook) for your bumper or simply wherever you'd like to place one, available featuring our own El Puerquito singin' the blues.  Come on out and get one for one thin dollar.  

We're debuting some new clubs every month, which means that it'll only be a short drive to wherever it is we're playing tonight.  We haven't seen you lately.  The nights are getting shorter so opportunity is knocking to get out and have some fun!  Be sure to get out and support your local live music venue as well as the musicians.  For them it's a labor of love, they do it for your appreciation.


Meanwhile check the schedule as we keep workin' it on through the winter. We've eclipsed 100 performances again for the 3rd straight year.

Chop with MojoBonzRon Gill, aka "Pokechop", has been playing rockin' rhythm and blues guitar for any number of years nowThe Original White Meats.  He was born in New York City but spent most of his life in the west.  What began in a small Colorado cowtown as an experiment at playing a musical instrument in the 1960's during the heyday of the British Invasion turned into a lifetime of study and devotion to the guitar, harmonica and all styles of the blues.  Influences are many as would be expected over the period of this long a time but current favorites are Little Charlie Baty, Freddie King and Hollywood Fats on guitar,  James Harman and of course Little Walter on harmonica and Jimmy Reed and Lucky Peterson for their songwriting skills.  Other groups he's performed in are The Phantom Freeway Rhythm and Blues Revue, Otis T. and the Hammers, Cindy Sweeney and Wichita River and Plymouth Rock.  Did I mention, Once upon a time the blues boarded a riverboat down in New Orleans. . .

Dial us up when we come to your neighborhood, support your local musical establishment and have a great time!  We're performing all up and down the beeyoutiful Maine Riviera, that stretch of the northern east coast that includes sandy beaches and cool surf.  Come say howdy so we can get to know you.


The Players

The Other White Meats (TOWM). 


Dave "2.0" Cipullo is now anchoring the heartbeat to the soul of the blues that is The Other White Meats.  He and Poke Chop share the bond of being graduates of the same college in Denver Colorady...Go Roadrunners!

Dave 2.0Dave comes from a family of musicians--his grandfather was a conductor and percussionist and wrote marching band music. His father, who was a drummer of dance bands, gave him his first drum set and lessons at the age of 2. By the age of 13,  there wasn’t a song he was not willing to tackle. As a teenager, he also learned to play the trumpet in the drum and bugle corps but loved to play the drums.

Went on to play with Rock 'N Roll bands throughout the 70's in Massachusetts before and after a short stint in the military. He was accepted to play drums for the Army, unfortunately it didn't fly because of a commander who had better plans for him. During college in he played with the Jazz Ensemble at Metropolitan State College in Denver, Colorado. It was in Denver where he had some stints performing Rhythm & Blues with bands including Ricky Earl. 

More recently in Maine, he did some recording with an Eagles tribute band and then some performing and recording with a Christian rock band as well as some steady Sunday performance at a local church. He also trained as a DJ at WMPG radio in Portland, ME.

He still has the dream, like all musicians, to make it big sometime, even if it's in a blink of the eye. He has a great attitude, enjoys people, and likes to get out and listen to other musicians perform. He has traveled the country, lived in other places and had a good time so far and will keep on drumming. 

Chad T

Chad 2

Chad Thorne is now holding down the bottom end.   While he IS a lefty, we won't hold it against him.   He began playing guitar  right-handed at the tender age of thirteen.  In 1980, after many years of playing righty, an  injury to Chad's left arm rendered him unable to fret strings with his left hand. He subsequently discovered that he could pluck strings with that hand, however, and set about re-learning how to play guitar lefty.  In the midst of that process Chad also found his true "musical voice," the electric bass. He has now played that instrument, thankfully and joyfully, for a number of years in a variety of musical contexts.

Chad (also known as "Lamb Chop") is happy to be "bringing the funk" with PTOWM.  More on Chad will be revealed as it becomes apparent.  We're examining him with a suspicious eye, after all  he IS a lefty!

While driving  an unforgettable beat is their trade, these men comprise the rock solid rhythm section that is the hallmark of dance music around the world.  



Special Guests include...

Harpman, Duane Asdourian: Harpman

Nobody works the harmonica more effortlessly, nor shills for the band any harder than Duane!
Vocalist, Diana   Knowlton:Diana1

Bringing some passion, bringing some grit to the blues.

Murphy's SaloonDo you love blues?  If so check out Murphy's Saloon, podcast home of the blues.  He hosts a weekly hour long show of blues artists, new, old, known and unknown!  He's even played some of my stuff!  Tell him Poke Chop sent you!

Well,  get out your hats and sunglasses because in the great tradition of B.B King, Buddy Guy, Albert Collins and the Blues Brothers, we're going to rock your soul with . . .
