▓▓██████▓▓▌ ▐▓▓██████▓▓
▐▓███████▓▓ The powerful sound of The Superstitions band is ▓▓███████▓▌
▓▓███████▓▓ truly different in terms of both style and ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ approach, on this recording, a harp-driven-trio. ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ The bands inspiration hearkens back to the great ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ days of early post-war blues when blues ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ musicians first converted to electrically ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ amplified instrumentation. With Demar Dupree on ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ vocals and harp, accompanied by Johnny ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ Williamson and Tj Sullivan on rhythm and lead ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ guitars as well as lead vocals, ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ the formidable chops of these three bluesmen ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ create a sound that is startlingly full for a ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ trio and dynamic in its presentation! In fact, ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ the band refers to their performances as "Juke ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ Joint Revival Meetings". The trio has dug deep ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ into the rich history of blues music to showcase ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ great rare and obscure material and plays it in ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ a way which is unique in the current blues ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ scene. This aspect, evident in both the almost ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ evangelical presentation in their live ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ performances, as well as the bands many original ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ tunes allows them to display a consummate ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ knowledge of the form and invests the music with ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ heartfelt storytelling and sometimes-wry humor ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ which is what great blues is all about. Each of ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ the versatile members of The Superstitions ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ contributes his own vocal style which allows ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ them to play a wide spectrum of blues music from ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ the earliest days to contemporary ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ forms while infusing it all with their own ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ ensemble's special approach. Audiences who have ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ seen and heard the recent west coast debut gigs ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ of The Superstitions have been thoroughly ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ entertained and overwhelmed by the music and ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ showmanship of these three bluesmen. Once you've ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ experienced one of their "Juke Joint Revivals" ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ you will be a true believer in The uperstitions! ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ Not since Lester Butler and the Red Devils or ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ The Hollywood Fats Bands has there been such an ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ authentically early sounding Jumping group in ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ roots music! ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ Demar Dupree - Harp Player and and Lead Vocalist ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ from Duberly Louisiana, displays the skills and ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ mastery of the blues that only a lifetime of ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ dedicated playing can produce. His soulful ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ vocals and explosive sax-inspired harmonica ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ playing are perfectly complemented by his ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ self-described "Juke Joint Evangelical" stage ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ presentation. Demars influences range from his ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ home state, the deep blues of the Delta, to the ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ hard-driving urban Chicago style and are ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ reflected in the Harp and Vocals on tracks 1, 2, ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ 4, 6, 8, 11, 12, and 14 continuing the original ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ tradition of the greats!, ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ There is a great legacy here as Joe Lee Bush is ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ one of the last men alive who took lessons in ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ the 50's from Little Walter and Demar and Joe ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ Lee have been in a long distance collaboration ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ where the real tricks of the trade are shared ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ and featured by this Superstition Band Leader. ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ Demars' powerful and soulful vocals are as ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ great as his Harp! Masterful! Simply ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ Outstanding! ▓▓███████▓▓
