- Swamp Train @ La Capsule
2011-08-01
For the 4th time in as many years Blaze has organized a concert down at his local lake side pizza joint “La Capsule”. It’s an informal eating place that is near the beach at Gorgier. They have a few tables inside and an outdoor area with picnic tables. We set up a tent nearby and Swamp Train will blast the evening away starting at 7h00 PM! ;-)

- Swamp Train @ La Capsule
- ST @ Outdoorelch
2011-08-06
We, Swamp Train, had a fantastic time last night at the Festival Outdoorelch near Balmberg BE, and want to thank the everyone there! A small festival on a hilltop among the many that cover the landscape south of Bern, an area where enough artists have lost their way in the 11 years it has taken place that the organizer just shrugged and laughed when our guitarist, Cutfinger, showed up at pretty much the time we were programed to play. Fortunately Dalia, the band that played before us, had started later than indicated on the program which was, we were told, just an suggestion and not to be worried about the half hour during which they were to clear the stage and we were to set up, line check and begin our set…

A great video featuring Hammie Nixon and Napoleon Strickland: Mississippi Delta Blues Festival 1980(?) at Freedom Village posted by dylanizer100. Question mark due to my checking out other videos from the same festival and finding this fantastic footage of Boyd Rivers that is dated 1979 but looks to me like the same event. Anyway…

From last Saterday’s gig on the beach.It’s often hard to get the members of a band to get organized for stuff like taking pictures and videos, and we (Swamp train) are no exception. And since a new camcorder is a bit too pricey for me at the moment I decided to get my old digital 8 machine out of the closet for last Saturday…
- Art, Jazz & The Blues
2011-08-30
August has passed in a flash as it will when you’re having fun ;-)…First I spent a couple of weeks helping friend Bill prepare some of his cool home made instruments for his first art show! This event will take place in Fribourg at the Atelier-Galerie J.-J. Hofstetter on September 9th at 8pm. He has programed a series of concerts with them (the instruments) and various other musicians so check out the schedule if you happen to be near by.
Bill, as it has already been mentioned here and there in this blog, also plays with the Fanfare du Loup Orchestra, a Geneva based Big Band. They where just down the mountain last Sunday at the Auvernier Jazz Festival where they played a selection of tunes from their Play it again, Bill program. The sketch is from that event…
