Band……….

The only member of the band I recall seeing (at least regularly) in a cowboy hat is the drummer, Butch Norton.

The other guitar player (other than Eric Schermerhorn, that is, who replaced Doug Pettibone) is Chet Lyster. Maybe he wears a cowboy hat on occasion & I haven’t been there, or I’ve forgotten…

That may have been Bo Ramsey, who isn’t in her band any more.

yes, thats him….thats too bad that hes not with her any more….he is real good….hey, thanks alot for the info…

If you want to see Bo play these days, go see Pieta Brown (if you get a chance) – they are married and tour together…

saw bo ramsey last night and i have been a fan of his since the seventies.he is THE tone master,and a masterful songwriter himself.
pieta brown is married to bo ramsey,they have a son Memphis.
pieta is also the daughter of greg brown,who is married to iris dement.

since leaving lucinda’s band bo has split time playing with greg and pieta
with occasional shows fronting his own killer band.he is an extemely sought after producer and guitarist. run of the mill?not hardly .not only my favorite guitar player,one of the most very respected guitarists by quality musicians

Wow, really? Where is your source in the idea that Pieta (Greg Brown’s daughter) married his long-time side man BR…?

Don’t think of this as pretentious, David, but my own “source” for this info was the horse’s mouth–Lucinda Williams Herself. The other posters are absolutely correct about this intergenerational union; I believe the baby is probably one year going on two by this point. I had the chance to chat with Lucinda after a 2007 show, mentioned Bo, and she revealed the news that he and Pieta were a couple. All in the Iowa family, as it were (though Arkansas Dement complicates the extended clan model a bit). As for the name “Memphis,” that’s a new one on me (which I like, though)!

i’m truly excited to be getting to hear Iris AND the Handsome Family at McCabe’s (will be my first time for each. last time Iris was around, i drove up to santa cruz to hear her and she cancelled last minute due to illness. i was crushed and went on a shopping binge in downtown santa cruz to comfort myself, hahaha)
i missed bo and pieta when they were here opening for JJ Cale recently, but they made a whole lot of new fans from the folks i know that heard em and didn’t know them.

last sat at pappy and harriet’s was my favorite “new” band. a reconfigured combo called the Rockslider’s with Kenny Newberry, Alex Watts and Jim Allen on guitars, Dale Daniel on drums (drummer for the Hacienda Brothers) and Charlie Wallace on pedal steel!
what can i say about Charlie? he could finally break me of my Greg Leisz addiction…….well, there’s room for both of them in my heart. great bassist too (Dave i think/my first meeting and i have to say the name a few times for it to sink in, just like everything in my life it seems! ha)
