RJ Mischo & Zach Bramhill at Biscuits and Blues
Hidden in the crowded area of Mason Street San Francisco was what seemed to be a average little room covered in vinyl records and art work know as Biscuits and Blues. As soon as I walked in to the almost silent room, I was greeted by a younger gentlemen asking me if I had ever been to a Blues show before to which I replied “No”, his smiled widened when he responded with “then you are in for a treat”. I paid my $20 admission, with those prices I knew I truly was in for a “treat”, as I walked downstairs the atmosphere instantly became dimmer and the music made its debut in full force. The waiter immediately leads me to a table and as I trail behind her I notice the entire room is dim except for the stage light that illuminate the entire area. As soon as I sit down there is a transition of the lights, they turn from a bright yellow to a calm blue signaling the change between a previously upbeat song to a more relaxed one. As I begin to take in my surroundings completely, I noticed the entire back wall is covered in beautifully colored alcohol bottles along with a few mirrors radiating the reflection of the stage lights. The room was full of people ranging in ages, there was no bias in age, race, or gender there was a little bit of each type of person in the room which I found very intriguing. Everyone was dressed in nice casual clothing while each person had a drink in hand and table full of food. Being the youngest person in the room I found it fitting to order the fried mac n’ cheese, which turned out to be delightful. Taking in the music for the first time I immediately knew I was going to enjoy the show. The catchy yet soothing feel of Blues music was something I did not expect to be pleasantly surprised by but I definitely was. I had never intentionally heard Blues music before but it turns out that RJ Mischo and Zack Bramhall are some of the best artists currently in the genre. By the time Rj Mischo was 19 he became a professional musician, he know possesses various awards not only as a Blues Singer but also a Harmonica player and the leader of the band. He has 9 released CD’s of his own and features on around 21 others. He has published many harmonica instruction books and has even conducted various workshops worldwide. His influence on Blues is beyond measure along with Zack Bramhall who has some pretty impressive success himself. Zack’s style of Blues is considered to be “deep Texas” (http://www.biscuitsandblues.com/rjmischo). Zack’s entire family had been known for their roots in Blues, so he followed in the footsteps with his hit song “Velvet Gravel”. I was not given any type of program that …show more content…
I found myself enjoying each and every song being preformed while enjoying great food, friendly people, and a wonderful atmosphere. My only regret is not getting one of the CD’s that were available for us to buy because I have not been able to find Mischo’s or Bramhall’s music anywhere but the occasional one or two on YouTube. I still find myself listening with enjoyment to the recording I took of the duo doing the instrumental performance. I do plan on returning to Biscuits and Blues with my family and I hope to enjoy the second performance as much as I enjoyed the
