OK so I looked up the schedule and found it was on at 10pm on the digital PBS channels.... good ..that means hi-def.
So 10pm comes.... sure enough, there's "Dr House" slammin out some blues on a road trip.
I got to say the guy can sing pretty good and plays a piano extremely well. He showed off his piano skills on several songs.
Some pretty talented guests came on with him, and yeah... I got to say, I enjoyed the roots blues N'Orleans style.
Thanks for the heads up on this show.
It wasn't a straight up "concert". It was a road trip of sorts across Texas with a few local stops in Austin and Lukenbach, and then on to the Big Easy. The songs were interspersed with some historic commentary and interesting tidbits.
