Bluesfest: Marcia Ball

From watching Alice Cooper's show I had a little time to check out other stuff, so I popped over to see Marcia Ball. Ball is from the old school of Bluesfest, Texas-born and Lousiana-raised, she combines a bit (OK, a lot) of both states' signature sound into her own.

Also, the Texas Horns are part of the deal. The gent on the right is Ball's regular sax man, Thad Scott.



Drummer Damiel Llanes is from a somewhat different generation ...



Bassist Don Bennett, looking stylish.



And let us not forget Ms. Ball, herself.



Closeup action!



Extra Thad.



More Marcia!



Guitarist Mike Schermer likes his pickups varied.



Mike frets!



The sun is going down.



Keyboard action!



Pretty good, though it's a sign of the times that her set wasn't very well attended.
