Hey Everybody!

We performed at Wet Willie’s on Beale Street again last night for the semi-finals of the IBC.  Unfortunately we won’t be going on to the finals today at the Orpheum but we were selected by the staff at Wet Willie’s as their favourite band and will be playing one more show in Memphis!  Today we will be playing the New Daisy Theatre for the Beale Street Blues Kings Competition!  Show starts at 4pm!

We’d like to say thanks to everyone down here in Memphis for supporting us through this competition.  We loved every minute down here and we’ll be bringing back a pile of great memories of our time here in Memphis!

Yesterday we were very excited to join the other Canadian IBC acts at The Kooky Canuck for the first ever Polar Bear Blues Showcase. We were a bit groggy from eating deep-fried hot dogs the night before, but the energy and talent upon stepping into the venue was all anyone could focus on (after a trip to the washroom, of course). It was hard to believe we were in Memphis with the number of cheering Canadians in the room, and the moose heads on the wall made us feel right at home (we’ve all got those in our living rooms, right?).

After the Canadian showcase we were off to day 2 of the IBC at ‘Wet Willies’ on Beale St. It was very clear that each band was kicking it up a notch and that we were going to have to do the same. After the 6th band finished, we took the stage. After setting up the gear, we finally had a chance to look up and see that the room had almost completely filled in the last 5 minutes. With the energy from the crowd and our own adrenaline, we put together a great set. We are truly appreciative of everyone who came out to cheer us on, as it made the performance so much more special.
At around 1 am, it was announced that we would be moving on to the semi-finals of the IBC. We couldn’t be more excited to play today, and now it’s time to get ready.

Wow! What an experience!

Hey Wailer fans! My name is Lindsay Falt. I’m a long-time friend of Lindsay Beaver and I have the privilege of being a fly on the wall, here in Memphis with The 24th Street Wailers. This has been an amazing experience in such a vibrant city. From the southern hospitality and fantastic food, to the live music and intoxicating atmosphere, this city captures your heart from the very beginning.

Last night, the Wailers performed round one of the quarter finals at Wet Willy’s. Although there were a few unexpected surprises for the band, they worked through them like true professionals and completely blew everyone away! The energy that the band infuses into every venue they play, is awe-inspiring, and so much Fun!

There were a lot of great bands who performed last night, but The Wailers had, undeniably, one of the most infectious sets, and they had the crowd swaying, clapping and shufflin’ to their catchy beats. The Wailers have been doing great so far, and tonight is round two of the quarter finals. They play at 9:10pm, again at Wet Willy’s, and are performing at the Kooky Canuck at around 2pm. Send your energy and good vibes if you can’t be here in person and we’ll be sure to keep you updated on all The Wailers’ adventures here in City of Blues.

Memphis update #2

What a day yesterday! We visited Sun Records and took a tour of the studios there. We stood in the room where great musicians like Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, and Elvis recorded! Very awesome!

Afterwards we headed over to the Blues Cafe for lunch and had some delicious ribs there.

That night we performed at the Fed Ex International Showcase at the new daisy theatre!

What a fantastic time we had playing there! We saw and met lots of great artists from around the world as well as local musicians and fans. Kudos to all the other great bands that played that night!

Hey Everybody,

After a long (and somewhat smelly) 16 hour drive from Toronto, we are now in Memphis. Hooray! We couldn’t be more excited to see everything and to play some music. Tonight we are performing in the “grand opening” of the International Blues Challenge. The FedEx International Showcase is at The New Daisy Theater, 330 Beale St Memphis. Start time is 5:30pm and we are the last group on at 10:30pm. But first, we’re going to hit up some sights, heading out to see Sun Studio and maybe Graceland.

Here’s a shot of the Parthenon in Nashville, if you’re ever going through, check it out. Very cool! More updates to come…
