Sanz Mantra Studio - Episode 15

Thursday, 24 February, 2022

“The blues are the roots and the other musics are the fruits. It's better keeping the roots alive, because it means better fruits from now on. The blues are the roots of all American music. As long as American music survives, so will the blues.” ~ Willie Dixon More blues (and some shameless self-promotion) this week as I share some more home demos of rearranged blues standards in the lead up to the gig with my side project, Tuco’s Grill in a couple of weeks. I also have a look at how songs can be rearranged, repurposed and wonder how to tell when you’ve gone too far! Tuco’s Grill @ Club Altona Sun 6th March, 3.30pm 113 Civic Parade, Altona Follow Tuco’s Grill on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tucosgrillband #blues #bluesmusic #bluesband #melbourneblues #livegig #SanzMantra #SanzMantraStudio #tucosgrill #tucosgrillband #stevierayvaughan #buddyguy #maryhadalittlelamb #themeters #cissystrut #jjcale #cocaine All music © 2022 Mark Hughes Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Scxu9Tg_0q4 LISTEN TO EVERY EPISODE HERE https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlSfYwFxA5Rdw6hEvu9N5rLUxldn342r3 Sanz Mantra Studio Take a look behind the studio door with Melbourne musician Mark Hughes aka Sanz Mantra, as he shares the creation and launch of his debut album.
