ALASTAIR GREENE: Press and Quotes

Superficially, blues in Santa Barbara could only result from one-way street misdirection or parking more than a block from Nordstrom, but in reality, the area has a long and distinguished blues tradition. The Santa Barbara Blues Society is the nation's oldest; acoustic blues wiseguys Tom Ball and Kenny Sultan have been at it for decades; the Fabulous T-Birds frontman Kim Wilson is a local; and the Pontiax tore things up for years. And then there's Alastair Greene, blues-rock guitar monster, who will be like a god when and if long hair comes back.

Alastair Greene takes you back in time by dishing out legendary numbers by Muddy Waters, Albert Collins, John Coltrane and Albert King. Greene gives credit where credit is due then rocks the songs his way.

It was a true pleasure to witness Alastair Greene and his excellent band. Keep an eye out for Alastair Greene. He's one musician with which to be reckoned. Accept no imitations!
