Find out for yourself why the
Blowin' Smoke R&B Revue were voted by MUSIC CONNECTION magazine as a "Hot
100 Live Artist for 2013" in their year-end issue, topping several thousand
bands around the United States that vie for that yearly honor.
Music Connection reviewer Tim Reid Jr. writes, "(bandleader Fuzzy) Knight must
know a thing or two about putting the right pieces in place to make a show, as
he has done in this case. Even with a couple of subs in the horn section, the
clear fact is that Knight is going to present true professionals whenever
Blowin' Smoke takes the stand. Knight himself is a quality bass player and
bluesy singer with an almost grittier Randy Newman kind of sound. The Fabulous
Smokettes live up to their name - working the harmonies and each singer knowing
how to take the spotlight when it hits. "Fuzzy" Knight reminds all of us in the
modern technological era that real people with real instruments and real
personalities playing music that hits the gut and forces the knees to bend...it
makes one happy to be alive and in the community of other living
people."
"Cross Soul Train with
American Bandstand and you get a good idea
of
what a Blowin' Smoke Rhythm & Blues Revue show is
like!"
For nearly two decades, Blues/R&B/Soul group Blowin' Smoke has been one of
the most in-demand, successful bands on the Southern California live music
circuit. Front and center in Blowin' Smoke is its creator,
bandleader/bassist/vocalist, Larry "Fuzzy" Knight - whose impressive musical resume'
includes a decade-plus stint as bassist for one of the great SoCal bands to
emerge from the psychedelic era of the Sixties, Spirit. Knight has also
recently launched a new band project, Sky King, featuring some top-name
musicians, all the while keeping Blowin' Smoke going strong.
