Fighting the Blues with the Blues at EOH
EARLVILLE – In tough times, the Blues are a national resource for fighting our troubles with creativity, humor and good times. One band that is fighting the blues with the blues is the Peter Karp & Sue Foley Band on their new CD release tour for Beyond the Crossroads at the EOH Arts Cafe on Saturday. Their 4-piece electric band will rock the blues!
Peter Karp is a master songsmith with an art for spinning true-to-life emotions, humor, and candor. Sue Foley is considered to be one of the finest blues/roots artists working today with a Juno (Canadian Grammy). The band was last at the EOH in the summer of 2010 with their HE SAID - SHE SAID tour. It was an extraordinarily romantic Blues show that was a collaboration of two of Blues’ gifted talents. He Said-She Said came together when the two began sharing letters.
Blind Pig Records notes that: “Beyond the Crossroads marks the newest chapter in the collaboration between these two noted singer-songwriter guitarists. A high voltage, plank spankin’, piano boogyin’, slide guitar stompin’, blues-rocking CD that showcases twelve brilliantly crafted and unique original compositions. It’s a loud celebration of triumph over tragedy, optimism over despair and faith over hopelessness.”
The new CD that inspires the spring tour delivers on the promise of Karp and Foley’s groundbreaking, critically acclaimed 2010 song-cycle, He Said She Said. That album hit the Top 10 on the Billboard Blues Chart and was #1 for 6 weeks on the national blues and roots music radio charts. Says Foley, “Beyond the Crossroads is a natural extension of what we started with He Said She Said in that we’re writing songs with themes in mind. Positivity, renewal, absolution.” Karp added, “These times are trying - in the heart and in the streets. Time to fire up the amps and blow heat.”
For the last two years songwriter/guitarist Peter Karp and Canadian Juno Award-winning Guitarwoman Sue Foley have made their mark on the blues scene with features at the Bayfront Blues Festival, New York State Blues Festival, Pittsburgh Blues Festival, Bethlehem Musikfest, the Americana Festival, and Castel San Pietro Blues in Italy. “He Said She Said” was featured on Sirius/XM Radio, NPR, CBC Radio, PBS TV, The House of Blues Bluesmobile and Woodsongs Radio Hour among others.

Admission is $20 and $18 for EOH members and students are discounted to $15. Don’t forget to visit our Artisan’s Gift Shop featuring over 35 regional artists with jewelry to blown glass to pottery.
