"Shari Puorto's vocals meld Susan Tedeschi
self-taught soul, Bonnie Raitt country-rock sweetness and just a touch of
Melissa Etheridge rasp. On the slide guitar-laden "Don't Mess With Me," off her
most recent release
Real, Puorto unleashes a similar raw self-assuredness
that brings to mind greats like Etta James and Ruth Brown, themselves masters of
evoking feeling," writes the
Monterey County Weekly. The 2010 L.A. Music Awards
winner in the "Best Americana Roots or Blues" Song of the Year category will
also be performing at this year's Kern Rock & Blues Fest September 27-29.

"Tommy Marsh & Bad Dog is a red-hot blues outfit. He has a strong crowd
showing up on a weekly basis seeing great out-of-town talent with some very hot
locals. The Ventura Blues Society sponsors the weekly event, with a featured
artist showcased, (with) Tommy Marsh and Bad Dog backing that person. Afterward
there is a jam with Bad Dog, that is fun to watch. At some of these jams you can
see some real talent come to life. The room was humming with people casually
dancing, some more intense than others - all having a wonderful time. If you are
in Ventura you need to check out The Tavern. It is a fantastic place with good
food and spirits." - B Noel Barr, Random Lengths
