Heather Blush and the Uppercuts - The Roxy, August 11

Tonight at the Roxy the audience was treated to the sounds of Heather Blush and the Uppercuts.  Heather's sultry, nightclub-influenced ballads were a sheer delight and a perfect foil for Gabriolan work-a-day ennui.  With a sensual and vibrant delivery,  the night was filled with original songs sprinkled with the occasional familiar cover from the fifties era.  It would not be fair to say Ms. Blush's songs are written imitating the nightclub genre, because, in fact, they seem to live in that genre and sound one-hundred percent authentic.  Heather provides solid rhythm guitar and even stretches out to do lead solos though accompanied only by a single sideman, drummer Steve Hazlett.  Steve adds tasteful rhythmic accompaniment and backup vocals to Heather's rich musical presence.
