The Rivereens & the Ravens

I've been playing harmonica & singing a bit since my youth. You've probably never heard or heard of the Sugar City Blues Band, The Zing Kings, Blue Blazes or several other anonymous groups I've played with in Crockett, Martinez & Sonoma County.

You may have heard of the Bourgeois Blues Band which played around Sonoma County & beyond in the 1980s & 1990s. I was a member in the early '80s. 

These days I'm playing with two groups-

The Ravens is an electric blues band. The Chicago blues of the 1950s & 1960s & especially that of the Chess Records artists is some of my favorite music.

We love Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Howlin' Wolf Sonny Boy Williamson II et al and that Robert Johnson guy too. The Ravens features Henry White on harmonica & vocals,Stan Greenberg on guitar & vocals, Larry Metz on bass, George Gittleman on guitar & vocals, Ernie Harris on drums. Stan, Larry, & Ernie are also veterans of the Bourgeois Blues Band.

Blue 7 is a jazz ensemble. We have guitar, bass, drums, keys and a horn section of sax, trumpet and harmonica.

We love Thelonius Monk, Wes Montgomery, Cannonball Adderley, Miles Davis, Horace Silver & all that jazz.
