New York City Bluesman Meyer Rossabi and the Perfect Storm unleash their electrifying live sound at New York City's R Bar on May 6th at 7pm. This special live performance will feature songs from Rossabi's new CD "Just A Little Taste of the Blues." The Perfect Storm include coposer / drummer Fred Coscia and bassist Kristopher Scherer ("Pennsylvania Kris").
Just A Little Taste of the Blues features five original new songs by Meyer Rossabi and "Born in Chicago" written by Nick Gravenites. The songs are deeply-rooted in Chicago and Texas Blues and feature Rossabi's dynamic fretwork. The tracks cover topics from career oriented women ("Modern Woman"), the gangster life ("Deadly Ties"), changing careers ("Stop Thinking"), relationships gone wrong ("Gone Too Far"), and the hard rockin' "Hurricane," which deals with "a hurricane of people going crazy."
