Maui Jazz and Blues Fest ~ Sept. 24

Brian Stoltz — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 20:26:27 +0000

I am honored to be performing at the 1st Annual Maui Jazz And Blues Festival September 23 & 24, 2011. The festival will take place on Hawaii’s island of Maui at The Grand Wailea Resort with a solo performance on Saturday, September 24th (stage & time tba).

It is rare that I perform solo without a band, so I look forward to the opportunity to break out of the norm and strip it down to Acoustic and Dobro, allowing me the freedom to try out some new songs in the raw.

It was a sad day for me when Alligator Alley in Oakland Park, FL shut the doors. I have so many fond memories – playing into the morning hours, rockin’ the stage with Kilmo, Bob, Jeff…all of Kilmo’s warrior staff…Ray, Ed, Alice...I miss Susie with her razor-sharp intuition…knowing exactly what and when to come to the stage with~ whether it be coffee, water… the occasional shot when she sensed my voice was about to go haywire…Kilmo’s killer gumbo and shrimp poboys (on cuban bread, awesome!)…all of the great artists and musicians who over the years stopped in and jumped up on the stage for a sit in…Adam Deitch, Jake Shimabukuro, Jeff Watkins, Bonefish Johnny, Eric Krasno, Boomer Bosarge, Teddy Mulet, Tony Hall, Dave Shelley, Raymond Weber, Albert Castiglia, George Porter Jr., Michael Pickett, Russell Batiste, Chris Seepersaud…and the list goes on…what great times…and they can be had again!

So I hope to see all of my friends at Tu-Can Tango on Feb. 21st. I will be joined by my fearless cohorts, Carl “Kilmo” Pacillo on bass, Bob Taylor on keys and Jeff Renza on drums…and I am pleased to have on the show with her band, former Little Feat vocalist, Shaun Murphy!

“Shaun’s one of my favorite singers and she’s out in full, soulful force on this one! “– Bonnie Raitt

“Brian Stoltz… played in a funky and blistering way…and he had articulate schemes…Brian’s licks were thought out like piano patterns. He could play James Booker piano licks on the guitar.” – Bob Dylan, Chronicles,Vol.1

Please make note that this an early show. Doors @6pm, Showtime: 7pm

Two Stoltz songs in the film Cyrus, Mind of a Serial Killer

Brian Stoltz — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 03:26:48 +0000

The songs My Debbie Lou and You Gotta Move, performed by Brian will appear in the upcoming Mark Vadik film thriller Cyrus, Mind of a Serial Killer. http://cyrusmovie.com Inspired by a true story, a small independent news crew, made up of reporter Maria and her camera man Tom, investigates a series of unexplained disappearances in a small Midwestern county. The story leads them to the isolated town of Arkham Heights, where they find themselves interviewing Emmett, who possesses an all too intimate knowledge of the details of “The County Line Cannibal” – Cyrus. As Emmett inter-weaves the macabre life tale of Cyrus with the story of his last three victims, Maria comes closer and closer to the greatest story of her life – or what’s left of it. Filled with reenacted documentary footage of actual forensic experts, serial killers and police authorities, “Cyrus” presents a simultaneously beautiful and horrific examination of the destructive nature of cause and effect leading to the creation of the most prolific serial killer in the history of the United States.

The version of My Debbie Lou in the film was taken from Brian’s Up All Night CD. The song You Gotta Move is from Telarc Records’ 2002 release, Preachin’ The Blues: The Music of Mississippi Fred McDowell, nominated for a Grammy in 2003 in the Best Traditional Blues category.
