<\/a>Needless to say the music scene has changed.\u00a0\u00a0 Live streaming of shows to help musicians fills a void if done in a professional sounding manner.\u00a0 Grove\u2019s attention to detail and quality equipment has that going for it big time. She has been a constant platform for musicians from all over to ply their trade in the comfy confines of her home.\u00a0 When in normal setting her potluck portion is something to look forward to in itself.\u00a0 What she let happen here should not only be applauded, but enhanced and done again.\u00a0 Hopefully these two talented guitar junkies will be bringing this gig to the \u201croad\u201d around Houston!\u00a0 Let\u2019s hope this musical seed grows into a powerful tree of fun\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026..SUPPORT LIVE MUSIC PEOPLE!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

<\/a>It is so nice when you get to plant a musical seed and watch it grow into a beautiful\u00a0 thing .\u00a0 That is exactly what happened for me recently when sweet Jen Grove invited me to her Facebook Live streaming gig.\u00a0 The \u201cseed\u201d for this show stemmed from Houston Music Review sponsoring Houston blues guru John Egan last September in Austin, Texas.\u00a0 He put on his \u201chippie hat\u201d and had a great first time experience-especially when he hooked up with fellow Houstonite Brian Kalinec.\u00a0 Brian is a talented musician who is a well connected member of the SWRFA staff.\u00a0 He had some openings with his room gigs and Egan \u201ceagerly\u201d accepted his invitation to jam.\u00a0 I was fortunate to see that bad boy up close and personal at SWRFA.\u00a0 The quick chemistry was cool as both sensed each other\u2019s moves very nicely.\u00a0 As soon as I returned to H-Town I notified Jen that this gig needed to happen.\u00a0 HAPPEN it did.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/houstonmusicreview.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/024-229x300.jpg\")
<\/a>Having the music scene shut down because of COVID-19 has had more of an effect on me than I thought.\u00a0 It was so evident when the BLUES fueled show played out before this tiny group of lucky individuals. The absolute chilly good feelings soared thru my body as the song swap unfolded making me want to jump out of my skin with delight.\u00a0 Egan brought a set list of blues bombers such as \u201cPeaceful Mind\u201d, \u201cThe Mississippi Ran Backwards\u201d, Send Me An Angel\u201d, \u201cLonesome Sound\u201d, \u201cSomething New\u201d, \u201cBlack Veil\u201d, and scorching \u201cBlues Don\u2019t Die\u201d.\u00a0 Kalinec\u2019s heartfelt and telling lyrics were so on display with \u201cI Don\u2019t Know\u201d, \u201cWhat\u2019s Left Over\u201d, \u201cSunlight and You\u201d, \u201cNowhere At All\u201d, and very appropriate for this event \u201cThe Beauty Of It All\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0 The two pros did not get to rehearse at all, but you sure could not tell that from the in sync gig they produced with amps set nicely.\u00a0 Both men expressed to me the desire to dive into other artist\u2019s music to expand their personal horizons.\u00a0 The ease that Kalinec dusted off his bad ass electric guitar skills and jammed behind Egan\u2019s distinctive blues sound was the bomb.\u00a0 Likewise the manner that Egan brought stunningly bold bottom to Kalinec\u2019s thought provoking tunes was spooky neato.\u00a0 The show did well having between 25-40 people online supporting the highly promoted outing by JG.\u00a0\u00a0 She was working the whole time! The smiles on the faces of each performer said volumes as they let it rip effortlessly.\u00a0 Talk about a show ending way too fast!<\/p>\n
