SUMMARY:Alastair Greene Live at Fanatics Pub in Lima\, NY!
DESCRIPTION:Alastair Greene’s musical journey has been anything but tradi
 tional. His combination of Blues\, Southern Rock\, and Jam Band sensibilit
 ies has been thrilling audiences for nearly two decades. With recent perfo
 rmances at the Chicago Blues Festival and the Big Blues Bender in Las Vega
 s as well as recent tours filling in on guitar with Starship featuring M
 ickey Thomas\, and many guest appearances with such luminaries as Eric Bur
 don\, Walter Trout\, Coco Montoya\, Savoy Brown\, John Nemeth\, and Debbie
  Davies\, it’s crystal clear\,….. Alastair Greene's star is on the ris
 e.\n\nAlastair recently plunged headfirst into a full-time solo career\, s
 tepping down after 7 years touring the world as the guitarist for Rock leg
 end\, Alan Parsons. Alastair is philosophical about his time playing wit
 h Parsons\, saying\, “I’ll always be grateful for the opportunity Ala
 n gave me to handle guitar and vocal duties in his band. It was an honor t
 o play the music created by the Alan Parsons Project to Alan’s fans arou
 nd the world. After 8 years\, the time has come for me to truly pursue my 
 own musical dream.”\n\nHot on the heels of Alastair Greene’s criticall
 y acclaimed 2017 release  Dream Train comes his  powerful new album\,
   Live From The 805. Recorded in front of a sold-out hometown crowd in
   Santa Barbara\, California\, this album celebrates 20 years of Greene'
 s blues rock power trio with  20 tracks\, including original songs drawn
  from all 5 of his studio records as well as a few choice  covers. Alast
 air Greene has been hailed as one of the best blues rock guitarists of his
   generation with his band drawing comparisons to  Gov’t Mule\,  Z
 Z Top\, and  Cream.  Live From  The 805 will appeal to fans of Roc
 kin’ Blues\,  Southern Rock\,  Jam Bands\, and more.\n\n“Live From
  The 805  is a milestone live celebration of twenty years of rocking the
  blues for  Alastair Greene and his cohorts. It's also another installme
 nt in his re-commitment to his own  music after stepping down from seven
  years of adding a blues tinge to the  Alan Parsons Live  Project\,con
 tinuing the story told in his most recent studio outing\, Dream Train.\n\
 nWhile Alastair and the band have strong\, obvious and impressive roots in
  the rock world\, the  twenty songs here\, mostly bluesified updates and
  reprises from Alastair's accumulated  discography\, reflect Alastair's 
 love and affinity for the blues and its offshoots with equal vigor  and 
 authority.Shadows of  Albert Collins\,  Albert King\,  Howlin' Wolf
   and many other blues  icons run through the music.\n\nAlastair's mas
 tery of traditional blues tunings\, slide\, string bending and grooves are
  as much a  part of the foundation as the hard driving\, rocking energy.
  As numerous greats have shown\,  blues and rock don't always have to b
 e "either/or." Blues has always reflected the other musics  of its time.
  Happily for we listeners\, Alastair is a master of rocking blues (or is i
 t the other way  around?)\, and it will be joyous finding out over the c
 oming decades  where the blend takes him -and us.” – Dick Shurman - B
