Daniela Torchia - Have No Fear

Snit's Dog & Pony show
3 Chords & a Cloud of Dust
The Debut Long Player from Snit's Dog & Pony Show...Released in 2001.Rockin',Rollin' and Swingin'...
There is a very sound reason why Snit's Dog & Pony Show was just voted Best New Band by the readership of the Houston Press. While it may seem passé to some for a 21st century band to have a repertoire that mainly includes old-timey three chord rockers by the likes of Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters and Dave Edmunds, Houston audiences have been swarming into local clubs to catch this hot new band doing old-timey three chord rockers. Snit's Dog & Pony Show is a fun band that knows how to rock hard and have a good time. Please note I said "rock hard", not "hard rock." This tight 5-piece combo puts down a vibe that says Snit's Dog & Pony Show is the band you want at your next party or your next sock hop. They just turn it on, turn it up, and let it rip. Imagine a band doing that. What could they be thinking?
Led by vocalist and rhythm guitarist Kevin Fitzpatrick, former drummer for another frequent winner of Houston Press readership awards, The Hollisters, Pony Show is comprised of Houston music scene stalwarts: lead guitarist Adam Burchfield (Sonny Boy Terry Band), drummer J.D. DiTullio (Sisters Morales, Bert Wills, Hadden Sayers), pianist Scott Sumner (Hightailers), and bassist Jessica Buchheit (Best Bass Player in this year's Houston Press voting). Originally just a minor side project for Fitzpatrick, after the Hollisters departed for Austin and Fitzpatrick departed from the Hollisters the Dog & Pony Show began to develop a following through a weekly gig at Rudyard's British Pub. The band was working in the studio cutting some demos when the Continental Club offered Fitzpatrick a regular Tuesday night gig. Shortly afterwards, the band was offered a slot at the Continental opening for Joe Ely. With a packed house (which included ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons) on hand, Pony Show took full advantage of their opportunity and gave a knock-down-the-walls performance. Word spread quickly around the local music scene and suddenly the band was getting some major buzz in club land and better gigs began to be offered.

Randy Volin & The Sonic Blues
Used Guitars
Out of the street of the Motorcity. Playing with the toughness of Detroit, the sound of Chicago/ St. Louis, and with a rock n roll cool. Not loud and fast, but long and deep. Like Albert King, Johnny Winter, Ronnie Earl, and Jimmy Vaughan all in one.
Randy Volin was born in the late 50's in Detroit Michigan and his first memory memory of becoming hooked on pop music started the night the Beatles debuted on the Ed Sullivan Shoe. For some reason he still doesn't quite comprehend, Randy became totally enthralled with music, especially the Blues, but he didn't learn how to play an instrument until 1971. After Jimi Hendrix died, Randy bought his first guitar, a used Fender Jaguar (which he still has), and within 2 years he had acquired his first gig as a bass player. In 1977, Randy landed a record contract with A&M records with his band The Look, and toured extensively while releasing three albums. In 1986, Randy finally went back to his roots, and dedicated his life as a player to the Blues. From 1986 till now, Randy has played in the Tri State area of Michigan, Illinois, and Ohio continuously, while releasing 2 solo CDs. He has played with and opened for artists such as Joe Cocker, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eddie Money, Koko Taylor, Junior Wells, Albert King, Lonnie Brooks, Cheap Trick, Steve Marriott, John Mellencamp, The Kinks, Greg Kihn, Peter Frampton, April Wine, Mitch Ryder, Sonny Landreth, Johnny Johnson, John Mayall, Jeff Healy, Hubert Sumlin, J. Geils and many, many others. Randy is a self-confessed gear head and also operates Rockin Daddy's Vintage Guitars, Inc., just north of Detroit. One visit to his web site and you'll quickly discover that Randy also has an envious stash of some of the most desirable vintage gear ever made.
