 Dancing In The Streets Podcast
#3 [08-04-06]
In this third episode we interview local R & B and Motown music mainstay Gary Martin. We discuss the early days of rhythm and blues on the Chicago music scene, the halcyon days of the Toronto music scene, and the new Funk Brothers Jr. music program. We also review a couple cool tunes.
 Besides being a genuine R&B original, Gary Martin plays some of the snappiest rhythm guitar I've ever heard. His band, "The Heavenly Blues" plays all those favorite R&B classics such as Mustang Sally, etc. but with their own high energy signature infused into the arrangements. If you like to dance, this is definitely the band for you. Next weekend, check out the Heavenly Blues!
