Podcast with harmonica man Houston Scott
Houston Scott, originally from Clifton Forge, is back around the area this weekend. On Friday Saturday, he'll team up with fellow Richmond act The Dirty Truth to play Schooner's, in Roanoke. Get details at Top Tickets. Here, we talk about Scott's harp-playing adventures.
Hey, this is Kevin, Drums, Cymbals and a little bit of singing for The Dirty Truth. Just wanted to say thanks for posting this, and thanks to Houston for setting up a show in one of my hometowns. Spent about 6 years of my childhood in Roanoke, and my parents moved back in '96 and have remained. Wanted to let anyone who cared to get a little preview of what we do, between the two pages there's probably close to ten or so tunes to check (all recorded live at various shows), and it's a pretty decent preview. We're just a good old rock and roll band that loves the blues, and we're looking forward to doing our stuff, and then having Houston sit in and blow some blues with us. See y'all Friday at Schooners!

No worries, Houston. I prefer my interviewees to do the talking, haha! Anyway, sorry for the error. Correction is online at http://www.roanoke.com/entertainment/insideout/music/wb/222524 and will be in the paper tomorrow.

It's actually nice to hear a music podcast that actually kept my interest. I met Houston a couple of months ago, and he has become somebody who almost knows the who's who of local Richmond music talent. Seeing him play with the Dirty Truth last week was very cool, and I hope to be able to keep checking out your podcasts and website Tad and maybe I'll be heading back down to Roanoke sooner than later.
