Big Blues Bender recap

Alastair just got back from the Big Blues Bender in Las Vegas.  The Alastair Greene Band played 2 great shows and AG also served as the "guitar dude" for several pro-jams as well as the HART Fund benefit show on Wednesday before the official start of the event. The Pro-Jams were lead by sax-man Jimmy Carpenter. The back up band was called the Bender Brass Band and included monster players from all over the country and different parts of the Blues genre. Alastair backed up the legendary Bobby Rush on a couple different occasions. By the look of it, Bobby was pleased.
