Barely a handful of people showed up to see Toronto born Texas based Texassissippi Soul Man Danny Brooks and his wife Lil Miss Debi at the Slice, May 6.
They played an impassioned set of delta style blues with Brooks on guitar and an array of harps as and Debi adding a variety of percussion, mostly from a cajon box drum.
Brooks’ impassioned voice that was equally soulful and blues with a Shel Silverstein tinge. He played beautiful upbeat blues music, witching between several guitars including a battered acoustic and a beautiful resonator.
“Hard Working Man” was a highlight which ended the first set of the show.
Debi was singing a wonderful version of “Angel From Montgomery” by the time I called it a night.
