"Seldom have these traditional songs sounded as fresh, relaxed and alive as in Deivert’s versions. A spectacular album." - Blues News magazine, Germany
Bert Deivert's Festival Calendar
NEWS:
I was in Bangkok in Nov. to do some gigs and jams at ADHERE 13 Blues Club in Bangkok on Than Samsen near Khao San Road. It is a wonderful jam place and warm and friendly with a mix of local Thai musicians and artists and expats from all over the world that live in Bangkok. The house band, Banglumpoo Band with stellar guitarist Ponk, released their new cd in November. I am happy to be a part of the recording. We recorded at the SEXY PINK STUDIO, state of the art place, and had a great time.
Janne and I did 2 gigs and a blues mandolin workshop at the Ashburton Blues Festival in Devon, UK. It was a wonderful place and fantastic people. There are some pics and a slideshow up on Flicker if you want to check it out.
I recently helped young Swedish blues guitar and piano protegé Fredrick Karlsson to record some acoustic slide guitar in my studio for the new Memphis Gold record that just came out Gator Gon' Bitechu!- (Stackhouse Records, USA). I talked to Memphis and sent him some blues mando licks, so he used it too on Catfish Creeper. Check out Memphis Gold's website and music. Great musician and wonderful guy!
There is a new cd review from BLUESSOURCE.COM in Clarksdale.
