Saul Rayo's With A Little Help From My Friends, A Tribute to Joe Cocker''s Mad Dogs and Englishmen show at The Miners Foundery last night was awesome. The show features Saul Rayo as Joe Cocker, and The Contraband is like a Who's who of local musicians and includes: Thomas Schubel, Craig Thomas, Tim Earwood, Mark Thayer, Mark McCartney, Danny Buttacavoli, & Bob Scarlett. Rhino Horns include: Doug Davies, Gary Upton, Michael Bankston, and the Redemption Choir include: Elena Powell, Kim Kinjo, Eleanor MacDonald, April Miranda, Heather Grove, Janice Polucha Valerie Lowe, Taylor Harris & Gracie Mackenzie. Just close your eyes and your listening to the real band. Playing such favorites as Feelin' Alright, Sticks and Stones, Cry Me a River, Bird on a Wire, Let's Go Get Stoned, She Came in Through the Bathroom Window, The Letter, Delta Lady, You Can Leave Your Hat On, and of course With a Little Help From My Friends. I loved the show and it goes on for three more days. Each day there is a different opening band and I saw Justin Ancheta & Friends. From San Francisco he plays World/Reggae, Acoustic Experimental, & Roots Music. On the next three days the opening bands are Friday Night The Perry Mills Project, Saturday Night Sabroso, & Sunday The Shreds. This concert was filmed and will be broadcast om NCTV local cable Chanel 11 by Comcast. Also each day Proceeds Benefit a different local group such as The Stone Soup Community Garden, The Miners Foundry, & The 13 Music Program. What a great idea this show is wonderful.
