Oregon Solo Debut at Furrer Farms
This past Saturday evening I performed a set at the Furrer Farms Open House near Eugene. With just my voice, my Heritage H-535, and my Fender Blues DeVille amplifier, I played a set of a little bit over a half hour.
I covered a pretty good range of tunes, from Motown to old country blues to original songs. Unfortunately I don’t have any sound/video clips, but here’s the set list with the original performer in italics:
Bring It On Home - Sam Cooke
Shake Your Hips - Slim Harpo
Sometimes - Sister Hazel
Candle Eyes - Sean Sullivan
I Live the Life I Love - Muddy Waters
Way Back Home - Sean Sullivan
Stagger Lee - John Mississippi Hurt
I’ll Float You - Sean Sullivan
Sugar Daddy - Jackson 5
Perpetual Blues Machine - Keb’ Mo’
Prove Yourself - Sean Sullivan
My act served as a warm-up for the awesome performance that followed by The Procrastinators. I actually saw them play twice this weekend, which was a real treat (Friday night they played W.OW. Hall in Eugene.) Their performance of 19th Nervous Breakdown (originally done by The Rolling Stones) was rockin!
