MARY ANN and the TRI-TONES (my video)

I have a fondness for female fuelled rockabilly. Mary Ann has a cool style to her vocal delivery and her backing band 'The Tri-Tones' sure know how to compliment her. I wish I had filmed more. Check out their CD single (below)

DOGHOUSE SAM & THE MAGNATONES

(video by RockCharlotte75)

This was a nice surprise and a very good band to end four days of great music. Doghouse Sam and the Magnatones hail from Belgium and their music is the Blues. Not the fake 1960's kind this band is pure class. Check them out here...
