With the impact of COVID and 2020 as a whole still being felt in the performances spaces, live music venues, and small theaters across Western Massachusetts, it’s good to get back out there and support the venues bringing entertainment back to the people.
One of those places is The Foundry in West Stockbridge about 9 minutes from our Lee store #intheBerkshires (and the next exit away on the Mass Pike/I-90E).
And Friday July 9, they are hosting the Chicago blues, fuzz-rock, stomp your feet and scream to the ceiling rowdy bluesmen of Daddy Long Legs, which Canna Provisions is a proud sponsor.
We caught up with the band before their show, moved indoors on account of the pounding rain from tropical storm Elsa.
COVID OBVIOUSLY HAD IMMEASURABLE IMPACT ON ARTISTS AND LIVE PERFORMERS AND MUSICIANS. WHAT DOES RETURNING TO LIVE MUSIC, IN A PLACE LIKE THE BERKSHIRES, MEAN TO YOU RIGHT NOW?
Well it’s high time we brought our boogie blues bash to the bucolic Berkshires and we’re just happy to be back on the road, playing shows and lifting people’s spirits again!
THIS IS BIG CANNABIS COUNTRY OUT HERE. ARE YOU GUYS CONSUMERS?
Smoke em if you got em.
LET’S TALK THE BLUES. FEELS LIKE THERE WAS NEVER A BETTER TIME THAN LIFE-AFFIRMING, SNOT-AND-SPIT ROWDY GUTTURAL BLUES AND FUZZ GUITAR BLISS DURING THE GREAT REINTEGRATION OF SOCIETY. WHAT ARE YOUR DESERT-ISLAND ALBUMS OR MUST-HAVE INFLUENCES ON YOUR SOUND?
Frankie Lee Sims, people screaming in the street, The Ramones, Police Sirens when your trying to sleep, too much silence when your not trying to sleep, Captain Beefheart “Safe As Milk”, Flamin’ Groovies “Teenage Head”, Chuck Berry “the Great 28”, the Anthology of American Folk Music, horror movies, Lew Lewis… the list goes on!
ART HAS PROVEN TO BE ESSENTIAL IN THE LAST YEAR, AND ARTISTS TOOK IT ON THE CHIN. WHAT SHOULD THE PUBLIC DO NOW TO SUPPORT ARTISTS RETURNING TO THEIR CRAFT?
Buy records, go out to live shows, put money in that tip bucket.
WHAT CAN AUDIENCES SEEKING CHICAGO-BLUES HOWLERS AND HEEL-POUNDING LIVE SHOWS LOOK FORWARD TO AT A DADDY LONG LEGS SHOW?
The wildest shindig EVER.
