The Doghouse Blues Revue at the Skol Pub, Saturday, August 6

 Last night at the Skol the joint was jumpin' to the sounds of one of Gabriola's newer bands, The Doghouse Blues Revue.  The Revue features Chris Jans on Little-Walter-style amped harmonica, veteran guitarist and songwriter John Gresham on multiple guitars (one at a time <s>), and a solid rhythm section in David Botten on drums and Kelly Field on bass.  The band is tackling some of the great blues classics and stretching out to Ray Charles gospel/blues combination with great aplomb and success.  But they are also very much at home performing some of Gresham's originals which they do with a Grateful-Deadish kind of feel.  The capacity audience was wildly appreciative with thunderous applause following a spooky version of Greg Allman's Whipping Post, which was a great vehicle for Jans' considerable vocal abilities.
