Brian Cober - Streetwise, Roadwise Blues
Brian Cober is the best friend that the slide guitar ever had.
His invention of the Double Slide Guitar gives the slide a voice
and range of capabilities that have never been released before
and harnessed them to drive his own brand of streetwise, roadwise
blues. He has captured the soul that makes one actually enjoy
in a sympathetic way his confessions of heartbreaks and
excesses. With his band The Nationals, Brian released 3 acclaimed
CD's and backed up Bo Diddley, King Biscuit Boy, Johnny Winter,
Jeff Healey and many others. When Nationals founding member Paul
McNamara passed away in 2008, Brian began his solo career with a
new CD "Real Far Gone". Since '08, he has played full time at
clubs, Blues Society's, dances, private parties, and festivals
including the Montreal Jazz Festival, Bluizo Natkys Festival in
Lithuania, La Chute Fest, and toured in Israel in Feb. '11. First
the listener is struck by the unique sight and sound of the
Double-Slide. Then Brian's mastery of the instrument becomes
obvious, along with his soulful vocals and great songwriting.
Whenever, and for however many, Brian Cober is a unique and
uplifting musical experience.
