Steve Guyger and The Excellos
2016-08-21 15:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York) | Steam Pub, 606 2nd Street Pike
Philadelphia is home to one of the finest blues harp players in the world, much to the surprise of people not “inside” the blues scene. Over the past forty-plus years, 2009 Handy Award nominee Steve Guyger has been dishing out some of the finest blues to be heard anywhere. Whether in a duo, trio, or with his band, The Excellos, Steve always rocks the house.
Steve has toured with the late Jimmy Rogers, among others, and has played with many of the great Chicago bluesmen and contemporary players, yet he remains one of the best kept secrets in blues. The late William Clarke called Steve “the best harp player I’ve ever seen.” Mark Hummel called him “a monster player.” If you have heard Steve play, you know what they’re talking about. If you’ve never heard him, you’re missing a major page in your blues portfolio.
Steve began playing harp back in the late 60’s on a harmonica given to him by his future sister-in-law. Sometime later, his brother turned him on to Paul Butterfield. Steve’s passion for the blues harp took him to Chicago to learn at the feet of the masters of the art. Each trip taught him skills that he brought back to the local bands in which he paid his dues.
Steve has shared the stage with the greats in Chicago and the contemporary harp players touring the world today, names like Little Sammy Davis, Carey Bell, Rick Estrin, Rod Piazza, Kim Wilson, Mark Hummel, Charlie Musselwhite and many others. His playing, vocals, songwriting and stage presence have earned him a place among the best of the players on stage today.

Bonehead
2016-08-13 22:00 - 2016-08-14 02:00
…Jason Mannon truly began his professional musical career during his years fronting the very popular Philadelphia area nightclub band, Bonehead. Throughout much of the 90’s and into the new millennium, Jayy could be found perfecting his vocals and performance style in one packed, smoky bar after another. During these years he also began to explore the other side of his artistry – that of a songwriter. As Bonehead began to mix in a few of his early writing efforts into their play lists, favorable audience reaction soon pointed the band in another direction completely. The nightclub business became a means to an end as more and more of Jayy’s music worked its way into their shows. Slowly and without fanfare, Jayy’s music and his reputation as a serious songwriter grew. An EP debut CD was met with great local success and was followed by even wider popularity with the group’s second indie offering, “Fade”. As the success of this record spilled beyond the borders of the Philly area, national attention was finally focused on Jayy’s music.
In early 2001, legendary producer Don Gehman (John Mellencamp, REM, Hootie & The Blowfish) was so impressed with Jayy’s songs, he immediately offered the band a recording contract with MCA Records. Bonehead soon became Familiar 48 and headed to Los Angeles for an extensive and exhausting 3-month recording period. Those efforts yielded “Wonderful Nothing” – an album whose poignant reflections on lost loves and the possibility of hope in the darkest moments touched a chord wherever it was heard. Its first single, The Question debuted as
most added track at both Active Rock and Hot AC radio – a very rare feat in the record industry. Touring the country in support of this record added another dimension to Jayy’s ever widening experience as a musician.
Based back home again in Philadelphia, Jayy embarked on a new chapter in his career – that of a solo artist. Writing and recording with Two time Grammy Nominated Producer and longtime friend James Cravero, brought the perfect atmosphere for renewed creativity. The recent 2011 release of the single “Real” and forth coming album expected in 2012. Jayy’s back to his musical roots as he once again carries his creative energy back into the nightclub scene of Philadelphia in a band called….Bonehead.
Bringing a wealth of knowledge, experience and subtle artistry to his music, Jayy looks forward to communicating with his audience on an even more personal level. Even a casual listener to his songs knows that won’t be difficult to achieve.
