Yoshi’s Fan Appreciation Blues Night: HowellDevine | Oakland

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Check out slide guitar blues band HowellDevine for free when you buy dinner at Yoshi’s at their Fan Appreciation Night. If you grub somewhere else, you can still see the show for $5.

HowellDevine is the kind of blues you don’t hear anymore. The raw slide guitar played by Joshua Howell evokes the Mississippi Hill Country greats such as Fred McDowell and RL Burnside. The rhythm section of drummer and percussionist Pete Devine, along with the bass of Joe Kyle Jr., breaks from the norm in blues, providing rich and complex textures integral to the music rather than a simple backing section for a soloist. The result is a sound which stands in stark contrast to the typical blues heard in bars these days and would more likely be shaking the floors of a Southern juke joint some 70 years ago.
