Funky Mojodaddy 3/16/19



They play, because they can play. They play the blues, because they are musicians. They play at Buddy Guy's Legends, they play at Chicago House of Blues. They play for you and me, and most of all they play for themselves, for the musical high, for being friends, for it is in their blood.

This night Kenny Kinsey, the curator of Funky MojoDaddy, brought his clan of bluesmen to Wildrose Brewing Company located in Griffith, Indiana. Accompanying him this night were Jerry Porter on drums who plays with Buddy Guy and Junior Wells, TJ Jenkins on keyboard, and Ryan Frahm on guitar/vocals who plays with the Green Room Rockers. Kenny himself hales from his family, Big Daddy Kinsey and the Kinsey Report. Not here this night, Jeff Massey from the Steepwater Band who plays guitar/vocals. Ryan and Jeff Massey will play together or switch out depending on availability. This is what makes this band so special in vibe.

When Funky MojoDaddy get together you can catch them at our other local scenes; Grape and Grain Co. in Homewood, Duffy's Place in Valparaiso, Griffith Central Market, Broad St. Blues in Griffith, Hessville Street Fest, Hawthorn Park in Porter, Acorn Theater over in Three Oaks MI, Zao Island in Valparaiso, SoulShine Music Festival in Monterey IN, over to Johnny's Blitz in Westmont IL, Blues & Brews On 66 in Joliet IL, Club Tavern up in Middleton WI, down to Pops Place down in Decatur IL, and of course Leroys in Porter IN. Whenever they get together and wherever they play, you need to go see them. You will find their schedule on RiverbNation.

Here are some photographs from the evening at Wildrose Brewing Company in Griffith. Enjoy!

Surfing the Planets with Nomad



I needed a fix tonight, and found it in Wildrose. I was not expecting IT. IT crept up on me. IT felt like I was surfing the universe, planet hopping in my nomad state of mind. IT started off unreal, not like the planet hopping of before. This felt more tamed, yet more reality, a more nonchalant journey this time.

That was great, hitting the mindless waves of the solar flow in an ease of motion. Then all hell broke loose. IT became electrified. I remember that trip from another hit I found in Wildrose. The surfing became more intense. This was no longer just planet hopping. IT became plasmatic in sound and rhythm. You had to keep up, or fall off. This fix of Wildrose became more than a planet hop. I felt super nomadic, that I have to hit the surf in a violent action to stay on the trip.

Rise and Shine! I felt like a mad cow nomad again, planet skipping, not hopping. Like a ricochet rabbit protecting the universe. But wait! I’m still in Griffith, Indiana, home of the region, at the local craft style brewery “Wildrose Brewing”! Hark, what do the angels here? The “Nomad Planets”!!!

Okay, I can get a little crazy with this at times. If I did not, it would not be me. Nomad Planets hit the stage this night and I listened and photographed while drinking my Mad Cow. Definitely a lot of surf type melody and rhythm going on this night, which began my head trip about Nomad Planets.

The set started with Mark playing acoustic. A bit of a change up from what my bride Christi and I had seen from the band and it was nice. They played three of their new songs too. I do not recall the song titles, however I liked them all, and especially the second song. Mark commented to me he felt he did not do well on the song. Me, I actually enjoyed it the most. The rhythm from John, with drums and base all playing background, left Mark up front and different than the rest. That subtle separation of rhythm and melody, even if Mark felt off, is what sold it for me. Do it again, Mark! (I say.)

Enjoy the photographs!
