JULY 13 SUNDAY
DANNY ROBERTS BENEFIT
Danny Roberts played with Tom Petty in a band called Mudcrutch from 1972-74 and went with the guys on their famous trip to Hollywood. Danny wasn’t just a sideman for Petty as he wrote or co-wrote and sang lead on a lot of their songs. Danny has also worked with a slew of musical luminaries including Derek Trucks, Billy Joe Royal, Robert Nix, Denny Cordell, Phil Seymour, many more. Truly, one hell of a musician with an impressive resume and a damn good guy too. Read lots more here: http://www.thoseguys.com/bio_danny.html
Recently, Danny was in a bad car wreck and was very seriously injured, but he is recovering and as happens all too often with musicians, needs financial help. Stepping up to the plate are some Tampa Bay legends including...
JOHNNY G. LYON BAND
Johnny G. Lyon is a consummate showman, playing (and, er, playing with) rollicking blues and rock. One of Tampa's most entertaining and polished musicians, Johnny provides his audiences with attention grabbing guitar licks, an incredible sense of wit and humor, crowd interaction, and synchronized stage choreography. www.johnnyglyon.net
TAKE FIVE
Outstanding group hailing from Lakeland, operating in the Allman Brothers sphere of musical influence. Folks who recall the early-mid '70s Florida music scene will recognize several members from a great band called FAT CHANCE, widely regarded as one of the best and most popular bands around at the time.
CHARLIE SOUZA
Scene stalwart who also played in Mudcrutch. Charlie and Danny recently started a new band cleverly dubbed The Mudbreakers. http://www.myspace.com/themudbreakers
DAMON FOWLER
Word has it that a top-tier blues label may be close to snatching up this blues wonderkind...
PLUS SOME OTHER VERY SPECIAL GUESTS TBA
5PM $10 DONATION


SPECIAL GUEST
DAMON FOWLER!
Born and raised in Brandon Florida just outside of Tampa, Damon first picked up the guitar at the age of 12. After being shown a few chords, it was apparent that he was a natural. While his friends were listening to the music flavor of the month, Damon was digging into the Blues, and was soon playing small clubs in and around the Tampa Bay area. Years later with thousands of shows behind him, you've got one of the most unique and seasoned acts on the national circuit.

Damon has been invited to many major festivals, and has graced the stage with the best in the business. He has three successful CD's under his belt, and is currently working on a fourth.

His playing, writing, and vocal ability has brought him many accolades. His latest include Creative Loafing magazines "Best Guitarist, Best Lap-Steel player, Best Do-Bro player, & Best Slide player", all rolled into one tight package. Damon has been touring the country since November 2004, and has built a dedicated fan base throughout. Current lineup is Damon on guitar and vocals, Chuck Riley on bass, and Scott Key on drums.
