    “The blues are the roots and the other musics are the fruits. It's better keeping the roots alive, because it means better fruits from now on. The blues are the roots of all American music. As long as American music survives, so will the blues.”

    ~ Willie Dixon

    More blues (and some shameless self-promotion) this week as I share some more home demos of rearranged blues standards in the lead up to the gig with my side project, Tuco’s Grill in a couple of weeks. I also have a look at how songs can be rearranged, repurposed and wonder how to tell when you’ve gone too far!

    “The blues is a mighty long road. Or it could be a river, one that twists and turns and flows into a sea of limitless musical potential." ~ Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top) Yes, this week I have the blues. But in a good way! Leading up to my blues band side project, ‘Tuco’s Grill’ playing its debut gig on March 6, I take a look at everything blue and share some exclusive, unreleased demos along the way, as well as some vintage recordings from the Melbourne live scene in the 90s. Lord have mercy!

  • Sanz Mantra Studio - Episode 13
    Feb 11 2022

    When is a song that sounds like another a hat-tip and when is it a rip-off?

    And in music, is there anything that isn’t an echo in some way of what came before it? These questions and more remain unanswered in this week’s episode, but I do share some new (old) music, as my gig with my blues side-project, ‘Tuco’s Grill’ gets closer!

    Tuco's Grill - live at Club Altona - Sun 6th March, 3.30pm 113 Civic Parade, Altona
