This year’s On Location: Memphis International Film and Music Festival launched something new, a gala blues concert at Cooper-Walker Place in Memphis’ Cooper-Young neighborhood. Hosted by Memphis’ own blues diva Redd Velvet, the concert featured performances from Butch Mudbone, Cash McCall, Beverly Davis, Garry Burnside and Cedric Burnside, and drew a crowd of music lovers and film makers alike. Veteran Memphis drummer Terryl Saffold and bassist Cecil McDaniel anchored the rhythm section for the earlier acts, and it was quite an enjoyable event.





Bill “Howl-N-Madd” Perry and Special Guest Cash McCall #SunflowerBlues2013


Bill “Howl-N-Madd” Perry is from Tula in Lafayette County, and has recorded six albums, including his most recent, the 2012 album The Clarksdale Sessions. Saturday evening at the Sunflower River Blues and Gospel Festival, he was joined by legendary Chicago bluesman Cash McCall. Perry’s style seems to straddle the fence between the Southern Soul genre and a more traditional blues approach.
