THE
PLANETARY
BLUES BAND AND CUTS
FROM THEiR NEW CD ONCE UPON A TiME iN THE
SOUTH LOOP
Given
the economic hardships and the tumultuous political climate of the last
few years, it was always amazing to me that blues music wasn't more
popular than it was. If two wars and a recession didn't give anyone
reason to sing the blues instead of getting lost in BIEBER fever - I
don't know what I could say to you but I would encourage you to check
out THE PLANETARY BLUES BAND. Comprised of brothers MARTIN, MICHAEL and
BOBBY SCHAEFFER-MURRAY, the Chicago-based band took inspiration from
the legendary blues sound of their hometown which included the likes of
MAGIC SAM, BUDDY GUY, JUNIOR WELLS and SONNY SEALS.
On their latest self-produced album ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE SOUTH LOOP
the brothers SCHAEFFER-MURRAY and drummer NICK EVANS prove that they
aren't merely paying tribute to Chicago's legendary sound but are
proving themselves to be the heirs of this oh-so-proud American musical
tradition without any of JOHN MEYER's douchebaggery.

BRIAN
LUSH holds a BA in Creative Writing from the UNIVERSITY OF
NEW MEXICO. He established ROCKWIRED on New Years of 2004 and hasn't
looked back
since. He is currently the host of all of ROCKWIRED.COM's programming
which includes such shows as ROCKWIRED RADIO PROFILES and ROCKWIRED
FREE FORM RADIO. As
program producer for ROCKWiRED.COM, LUSH is hands-on when it
comes to
interviewing and building a lasting rapport with the artists that come
ROCKWiRED's
way. As a youngster, BRIAN LUSH had no idea what kind of seed was being
planted
by reading magazines such as HIT PARADE, HIGH TIMES, SPIN, REQUEST
(remember
that one?) and even ROLLING STONE. "Those were the days before the
internet and being a rock journalist
looked
like the coolest job imaginable." says LUSH "But reading these
magazines had me
imagining that one day I'd be the artist giving all of the clever
answers to
some poor guy with a tape recorder. Well, life has a way of surprising
you.
Now, I'm the poor guy with the tape recorder and asking all of the
questions."
