James Earl Tate & the 008 Band CD release
to
Red Rooster 2513 Seiferth Road, Madison, Wisconsin 53716
James Earl Tate leads the Thursday blues jam at Knuckle Down Saloon.
James Earl Tate has been leading blues jams in the Madison area since starting a weekly session at O’Cayz Corral in 1984, and it’s been a rite of passage for countless local players to step on stage for the first time with the house band (in recent times, the 008 Band). So it’s appropriate that the band’s new album is titled Keeping the Blues Alive. Pick up your copy at this special Red Rooster Appreciation Weekend concert.
media release: Friday and Saturday, November 24 and 25, the Red Rooster thanks its patrons, its neighbors on Madison’s East Side and in Monona, and ESPECIALLY all the musicians that have graced the stage so far in with AN APPRECIATION WEEKEND! Shows will be only $5!
Friday, it’s time to appreciate Madison’s longest-tenured host of blues jams, James Earl Tate and his 008 Band. From his time as Luther Allison’s road manager, to his years hosting the blues jams at O’Cayz Corral, to his tenure at the Knuckledown Saloon and here at the Red Rooster, Tate has been at the center of supporting local blues musicians on their professional progression. Come show your thanks for his decades of devotion to the blues!
The show will also be a release party for the new CD Keeping the Blues Alive.
