Bill Magee is known as the hardest working man in San Diego Blues and one look the list of upcoming shows on his website proves it. Seems like he’s playing somewhere almost every night of the week. On Friday July, 10, 2009 Magee and his band will make their ninth appearance at Carlsbad’s TGIF Jazz In The Parks at Stagecoach Park on Carlsbadistan’s eastern front.
After getting his start forming the duo-guitar band, Jimmy James and the Flames with Jimi Hendrix, Magee played with B.B. King, Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, Otis Redding, John Lee Hooker, Bobby ‘Blue’ Bland, Wilson Pickett, and Bo Diddley in venues such as Madison Square Garden, The Filmore East, and both Yankee and Shea Stadiums. This is smokin’ southern blues at its finest, with a few influences from Chicago and Kansas City thrown in for good measure. Bottom line: every time Bill performs, it sounds like he invented the blues.
