The Commodore Hotel Has the Blues! March 21, 2009

Nashville Bluesman and Gold Record Songwriter Dave Duncan will be performing for dinner guests at the Commodore Hotel and Café on Saturday, March 21st from 6:00pm until 9:00pm. He will also be making an appearance that day at the Town’s Blooming Arts Festival. With two Gold Records on his wall at his home near Music Row in Nashville, TN, Dave Duncan knows a little about songwriting. Dave’s first gold record was for a song called 1-800-Use To Be and was recorded by country megastar Lorrie Morgan.
The second was a country ballad called You Know How Women Are was recorded by Buddy Jewell, the winner of the 1st Nashville Star show.
Duncan has spent the last 30 years playing soulful music all over the US. On the road with cowboy singer Johnny Western (Have Gun Will Travel/Johnny Yuma) back in the 80's, Duncan played the rodeos and roadhouses of the western states. Years of gigs followed with S.E.Willis & The Wayward Sons, at the time the top roots band in Arizona. After a long stint with Hans Olson, Phoenix's premier bluesman, Duncan landed back in Nashville and immediately had success writing the hit songs for Morgan and #1 selling Buddy Jewell. This was followed by national tours playing guitar for the legendary cult favorite, Goose Creek Symphony. Seizing the opportunity to record with some of his musical heroes, Duncan recorded his 1st CD I Don't Know If Its True... But It Happened To Me and has received airplay worldwide. Joined by musical guest including Jack Pearson (Allman Brothers), Reese Wynans (Stevie Ray Vaughan), Mark Wenner (The NightHawks), Jimmy Nalls (Sea Level), Dennis Taylor (Gatemouth Brown), Kevin McKendree (Delbert McClinton), this CD is a romp thru up-tempo original blues songs, often with a slightly twisted sense of humor... as on 20 Pounds of Taters in a 10 Pound Sack and the hilarious Harmonica Lewinsky. Dave Duncan is currently in pre-production for his new CD to be recorded in Nashville.

Dave Duncan will be appearing at the Commodore Hotel and Café, 114 E.Main Street, Linden, TN. Dinner is served from 5:00-9:00. For reservations call 931-589-3224 or www.commodorelinden.com
