Dave Lambert Solo

Born and raised in Michigan circa 1957 Dave was positioned to be influenced by Motowns greatest as the tides changed to early 70's rock and roll. Mitch Ryder, Bob Seger, Mr. Floods Party , Brownsville Station, Alice Cooper and Grand Funk Railroad. But the greatest influence was by far Jimi Hendrix. Mentored by Duane Allman and early Allman Bros recordings... Dave developed the beginning of his now easily identifiable slide technique and style.

Although the influences were many, the list included the likes of Johnny Winter, Alvin Lee, Ted Nugent, Savoy Brown, Chet Atkins, Jimmy Reed and later would include such names as SRV, Eric Johnson, Eric Sardinas, Satch, Vai, Jimmy Thackery, Walter Trout, Dave Hole and Sonny Landreth.

Signed in the late 1970's to ITA out of Detroit, Dave was performing in local Detroit rooms with The Rockets ( Mitch Ryder), Brownsville Station, Cub Coda and the Points and Salizar.

Soon Dave worked on his first recording. produced by Mel Schacher (Grand Funk Railroad), his first 45 rpm was recorded at the Swamp, a studio owned and operated by GFR. Dave continued to play the midwest covering popular rock and roll radio hits and a growing list of original songs.

Dave relocated in Dallas Tx and found himself touring with a very popular Top 40 band called Caper which also sported a 50's show called Hub Cap and the Tire Tools.

Due to the bands high exposure and extensive travel Dave found himself sharing licks with Stevie Ray Vaughn, Smokin' Joe Kubeck, John O'Daniels (Point Blank), Rocky Athis (Black Oak Arkansas), Eric johnson, Rick Denko ( The Band), Buddy Rich, the Crickets ( Buddy Holly), Freeman James, Foghat, Joey Mulland (Badfinger), Firefall and more.

The seven year itch struck and Dave settled in Minneapolis,MN. Again playing top 40 covers in midwest clubs Dave executed another chapter while building guitars, a trade he learned working alongside Rene Martinez, SRV's guitar tech and guitar guru from Charley's Guitar Shop in Dallas. This kept guitars in in his hands all day long and exposed him to many of the country's finest players.

Years passed and life's events sent Dave reaching for consolation in the only thing he knew at that time. Inspired by slide players throughout history, Dave honed his unique slide style and technique and has taken it to a virtuoso level.

Performing around the Midwest he has shared stages with Sonny Rhodes, Smokin' Joe Kubeck, Joe Bonnamassa, Rene Austin, and many more. Dave continues to WOW his audiences with a blend of technical expertise, combined with a flavorful respect for tradition causing his destiny of becoming a household name to be inevitable.

Dave's own blend of Roadhouse Rock and Blues has been developed by his many years of experience on stage and countless miles of geographical diversity and influence. But still, as always, the best test is wth you the listener.

One thing is certain, You wont soon forget Dave Lambert or the Dave Lambert Band.

Independent Music Award Winners Joe and Vicki Price in Concert

9th annual Independent Music Award winners, Joe and Vicki Price will catapult their blues in concert on March 6 at The Greenman Music Hall located at 215 South Main Street in Viroqua. The show starts at 7:30pm. This couples performance has been described as a righteous, joyful, foot-stomping jubilee. You don’t want to miss it.
Joe Price has been performing his ruff and tumble blues for over 35 years. This is country blues in the Muddy Waters, Elmore James tradition, a bit rough and tons of fun. Vicki Price brings her own songwriting and soulful vocals to the stage, playing second guitar to her husband in an exchange that has been likened to witnessing an intimate conversation.


The couple’s latest release, “Rain or Shine” won them this years Independent Music Award for best blues CD. Joe Price was inducted into the Iowa Blues Hall of Fame in 2002, The Iowa Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007, and was a finalist in the International Blues Challenge 2006. He has appeared on National Public Radio on the Michael Feldman show “What Do You Know” and the “Big Top Chautauqua” show were he opened for Grammy nominated folk singer Greg Brown. Joe and Vicki’s flamboyant, distinctive work on the Reso-Lectric guitars earned them the endorsement of the National Reso-Phonic Guitar Company in 2006. The power duo were featured performers at Iowa Governor Chet Culver’s inauguration celebration in 2007.


The couple released five CD’s on Iowa’s Trailer Records label. Sadly, in 2007 Trailer Records shut its’ doors. Taking the initiative the couple released two CD’s on their own label, Blues Acres Productions. In October of 2008 A Brand New Place which features 10 new tunes penned by Vicki was released and in March of 2009 Joe’s collection of original songs Rain or Shine. Both releases made the top 100 CD’s of 2009 in Real Blues Magazine. A Brand New Place was nominated for Best independent release at the International Blues Challenge in 2008. Rain or Shine has received rave reviews in major publications including Vintage Guitar Magazine, Blues Revue Magazine, The American Music Guide, Blues Matters Magazine and the Chicago Sun Times.


This pair have opened for such notables as John Lee Hooker, Willie Dixon, Pine Top Perkins, Homesick James, Honey Boy Edwards, Louisiana Red, The Reverend Al Green, Greg Brown and Iris DeMent . From coast to coast, and from concerts, to clubs, to outdoor festivals, the Price's singular vision and dazzling, irresistible live performances continue to etch a steady, upward arc.


Come on down and join the fun. Showtime is 7:30. Call 608-637-1912 for more

Patchouli


Bruce and Julie recorded their first jam session together on January 6th, 1993 in a church in Chicago. With Bruce playing an acoustic guitar and Julie on a 5gallon pail they discovered their desire to create music together out of anything and everything around them. That desire fueled their relationship as it grew out of this musical love they shared and keeps them grounded in the music they create still to this day.
