It is a special Sunday matinee Mac attack on Sunday,November 16th at 6:00 pm when the legendary Mac Arnold & Plate Full O Blues serve up another 5 star BBC entree. Mac always plays to a packed house and for good reason. From my review from one of his earlier shows: Mac Arnold kept up the festivities with another blazing boondocks blues to the bone throwdown! The show sold out on Friday and we had to turn away folks at the door. The atmosphere was electric and it energized the band who kept the place shakin until dancers, fans and musicians were spent. Mac is the blues. His vocals are gutsy and gritty. His stage presence warm and funny. His hand-made gas can guitars brought the blues to life. All the while, he has a smile on his face from ear to ear. Mac is a treasure who will be back to the backwoods as long as we can keep him coming. Damn, he is good!!!!! This 2010 Blues Music Award winner and 2012 nominee, and former Muddy Waters, James Brown, BB King, John Lee Hooker and Otis Redding sideman and producer of Soul Train cooks up a stew of old school Chicago blues, countrified blues roots, social commentary and gut bucket southern offerings that will satisfy the most discerning blues fans pallet. Macs presentation is fittin for the rustic corner stage where he entertains with humor, stage presence and home made gas can guitars while he dishes out his multiple course of blues offerings on guitar, bass and vocals. This is the best of the best of blues. Here is what others have to say about Mac: Blues Review This is old-school at its finest Mac Arnold is a key part of blues history. He really is unique in that he connects his life and music to the Mississippi Delta, Chicago, and the South Carolina blues tradition. And it is rare that these worlds are ever linked together as they are in the life and music of Mac.--From the film documentary NOTHING TO PROVE: The Story of Mac Arnolds Return to the Blues Creative Loafing A plate full of blues?
