Frankie & Johnny Music Hour

Please join the Unstoppable Frankie Picasso and guest co-host Wendy Allyn on Monday, March 8th at 8:00 pm est for the Frankie & Johnny Music Hour.

Tonight we are pleased to welcome one of Canada's Premier Blues Bands, two time Juno award winners, 'FATHEAD' to the stage and we want you to get in on the ACTION too, when we get up close and personal with band front man, Al Lerman.  You can do this by either joining us in the CHAT ROOM at www.blogtalkradio.com/frankie–johnny or by calling in to the show at 1 (646) 378-0358 

I DOUBLE DARE you to sit through a performance of this band without moving. These boys know how to 'get down' and so they should. They have been doing what they do since 1992, and with practice comes perfection!

 They've been called a "Blues Tour de Force", a powerful descriptor and an apt one because FATHEAD literally explodes on stage

It's been a long but steady climb since FATHEAD's debut gig in 1992, and the band has been tearing it up on the North American festival circuit ever since – winning over new fans every time they play – making FATHEAD one of the Canada's top roots acts.

Signed to the world renowned ELECTRO-FI RECORDS' imprint, the band has won two JUNO AWARDS (Canada's "GRAMMY") for "Blues Recording Of The Year".

That they  have been described as a Blues Tour De Force comes as no surprise. Georgia-raised lead singer JOHN MAYS has had a storied career that began in the Southern gospel tradition, crossing over into Doo-Wop, R&B and Blues, not to mention a stint with the Godfather Of Soul JAMES BROWN.

Hooking up with band leader AL LERMAN (harp and saxophone) in Toronto some years later, FATHEAD's core has remained constant since forming; offering ace musicianship, soul stirring harmonies and incendiary live performances.

The writing tandem of Lerman and bassist OMAR TUNNOCH has produced a large body of work that has enjoyed time on the US, European and Canadian music charts.

Guitar ace TEDDY LEONARD and iconic drummer BUCKY BERGER round out FATHEAD's sound, infusing elements of funk, soul, and R&B into their strong blues backbone. FATHEAD is truly an original band with a sound immediately recognizable as their own. They have a ball wherever they play and it shows!
