Having just returned from the European leg of the summer Gov’t Mule tour Danny Louis will be performing with Rosanne Cash on July 27-27 in Osceola, Iowa and August 15-16 in Ontario, Canada. (see tour page for details)
Danny played at The Ramble at Levon Helm’s Studios Sat, Aug. 4th. Good buddy Brian Mitchell was honoring a prior commitment so Danny assumed the keyboard chair. Due to Brian’s absence, Danny took the lead vocals on two tunes as well. In honor of Little Elliott Lloyd (Little Elliott Lloyd page) a Hudson Valley blues icon who passed away many years ago Danny sang the Flat Broke Blues, a obscure tune of uncertain origin (anybody know??) that Little Elliott performed often with the Funky Huns. The Huns’ members included legendary bassist Harvey Brooks, Phelonious Phunk’s very own Stew Cutler on guitar, and Danny Louis on keyboards, guitar and trumpet. Danny also sang the Question Mark and the Mysterians ’60’s hit “96” Tears.
Gov’t Mule will perform at Hot August Blues in Cockeysville, Md on August 17th. (see http://hotaugustblues.com/lineup/)
Phelonious Phunk will be appearing at the High Falls Cafe on August 24th.
