Crazy Man Crazy would like to thank everyone who came out to the Rotunda last night for our Philly debut. You yelled, you whooped, you sang along… you even danced! You’re definitely our kind of folks!
Thanks to Shakey Lyman and his boys for an amazing set of cooooool old school blues. Bass, guitar, bongos and harmonica–ya can’t beat that with a rubber hose. And thanks to Shakey for jamming with us during “Crazy Legs”.
A special thanks to Crazy Man Crazy guitarist Julian Root, who stepped in at the last minute to open the show with a solo acoustic set. He really got the crowd going and his originals were killer.
We’re gonna be doing this all again in the new year, on Saturday, January 30th. Shakey will be back, along with Crazy Man Crazy, and one more band TBA.
Hope to see you there!
