In the golden era of post-war blues, Chicago was the home and proving ground for many of the legends of blues harmonica. Over the years, as the popularity of modern blues traveled from coast to coast and beyond, so did the players. By the late 1950s, one of the true pioneers of blues harp, George “Harmonica” Smith, had settled in Southern California, where his presence on the flourishing Los Angeles blues scene would have a tremendous impact in subsequent years on up-and-coming players such as Rod Piazza, William Clarke and Kim Wilson. Little could Smith have known that he would spawn a whole new offshoot of the blues harmonica tradition, helping to create what is now known to fans world-wide as ‘the West Coast Sound’, a hard-swinging, sophisticated, and distinctly different offshoot of the amplified harp sounds familiar in Chicago.

As time has gone by, a handful of masters of this new California sound have risen to the top of the heap and become influential and pioneering in their own right. One of the best of those on the scene today is Mitch Kashmar. Mitch has not only thoroughly absorbed the lessons of the masters, he’s developed his own unique voice in the blues idiom, and not just on the harmonica. He’s hands-down one of the heaviest and most soulful singers ever to emerge from the modern West Coast scene, and an engaging and witty songwriter, in addition to his virtuosic skills on the harmonica (it’s those harmonica skills that earned him a spot touring for several years with the legendary rock/soul/funk band War). Kashmar has been one of the leading figures in West Coast blues for over three decades now, heading some of the tightest contemporary blues outfits you’ll ever hear, and earning the respect and admiration of his peers, his elders, and a school of protégés with a tireless schedule of performances and series of stellar releases. Mitch delivers the complete package, and then some.

“West Coast Toast” heralds the arrival of Mitch Kashmar’s long-awaited third studio album from Delta Groove. Although fans had the live recording “Live at Labatt” (2008) and a CD reissue of his early ’80s era LP “100 Miles to Go” (2010) to tide them over, it’s been ten years since his last full studio effort, “Wake Up & Worry” (2006). This time out, Mitch pays tribute to his legacy, tipping his musical hat to the unique sounds of West Coast blues with a program of well-chosen covers mixed in with his own original compositions, all filtered through his own individualistic approach to the blues, and distilled down into the essence of what the blues is today. Along the way, Mitch Kashmar, together with the stellar backing musicianship of Junior Watson (guitar), Fred Kaplan (piano), Bill Stuve (bass) and Marty Dodson (drums), ably proves that the golden era of West Coast blues harmonica isn’t behind us – it’s still happening right now!

11. I'm Sorry (4:42)
12. The Waddle (3:59)

Mitch Kashmar is an established West Coast harmonica veteran who has been knocking around for several decades but first made a dent on the international blues scene with his 2005 Delta Groove debut, Nickels & Dimes. As if to make up for lost time, he followed it up a year later with Wake Up and Worry, another solid blast of left coast swinging blues. Ignore the cartoonish and rather garish cover of a groggy Kashmar in a bathrobe surrounded by scantily clad models and dive into the disc for a rollicking jump blues party. Kashmar has a surprisingly compelling and distinctive voice, but it's his astounding harp work that propels this music.

Sure, there is plenty of Little Walter's overdriven electrified blowing in his style - he covers both "Dead Presidents" and Walter's "Up the Line" - but Kashmar puts his individual stamp on this sizzling music. Blues fans familiar with Little Charlie & the Nightcats will want to own this as well, since Kashmar works comparable territory. The harpist/singer takes a break from his jaunty style for "I'm Sorry," a jazzy R&B ballad with female backing singers and some tasty guitar lines from John Marx. Elsewhere, Rusty Zinn and Junior Watson, two of the finest West Coast guitarists, add their energy and talent to an album that has no low points.

Those who remember the late William Clarke will also gravitate toward this as Kashmar works a similar groove and possesses the same combination of nimbleness and attitude that characterized Clarke at his finest. The album's closing instrumental shuffle of "The Waddle" will leave any blues fan impressed with its thick, gooey solos but the entire disc is one of the finest contemporary blues harp albums of the year. If Kashmar can maintain the quality and pace of this output, he should find belated fame as the master of the instrument he obviously is. /Hal Horowitz, AllMusic

Mitch Kashmar is one of the finest blues singers and harp players in the world today, and a gifted songwriter to boot. But despite unanimous rave reviews for his years of performances on the stages of clubs and festivals up and down the West Coast – and no fewer than fourteen foreign countries – the big breakthrough he’s deserved for long has eluded him until now. Which is not to say he’s deservedly obscure – just ask the harshest critics of all, his fellow blues musicians. He’s shared the stage with some of the biggest names in blues over the years, including Big Joe Turner, Eddie ‘Cleanhead’ Vinson, Lowell Fulson, Jimmy Witherspoon, John Lee Hooker, Pee Wee Crayton, and Johnny Adams, among others.

Kim Wilson – no slouch on harp or vocals himself – offered this assessment: “Oh man, is he tough!” Charlie Musselwhite: “Your playing and singing are superb.” John Hammond: “…unbelievable; a great singer and up there with the best harp players I’ve ever heard.” And the late William Clarke had this to say: “Out of all the younger generation of blues harp players, Mitch Kashmar is my favorite. He’s also a first-class vocalist — his singing really knocks me out.” And Stevie Ray Vaughan paid what must be the ultimate compliment from one musician to another: “Can I sit in?” They’ve all known what the rest of the blues world is about to find out: Mitch Kashmar is a force to be reckoned with in the blues.

Tony Holiday is a vocalist and harp player who is rapidly emerging as a star on the international blues scene. He has been recognized by blues legends like Charlie Musselwhite and Rick Estrin as one of the finest up-and-comers in the game right now and is steadily building his own legend one gig at a time. Speaking of gigs, he plays up to 200 of them a year across the US and has brilliantly recorded his latest album Porch Sessions in between them on the actual porches of some of the blue’s best-known musicians. Hitting the streets January 25th, 2019 on the VizzTone Label Group, Porch Sessions by Tony Holiday is reminiscent of Alan Lomax’s landmark field recordings and the live recordings that have surfaced from Chicago’s famed Maxwell Street era over the years. It is all about the real blues captured live as it happens.

Tony, along with his partner Landon Stone, have crisscrossed America in pursuit of this project and have ended up on some pretty significant front porches. Live sessions were tracked featuring some of the blue’s biggest names, including Charlie Musselwhite, John Primer, Kid Ramos, John Nemeth, Kid Andersen, Rockin’ Johnny Burgin, and more. The down-and-dirty format is a genius move, as it connects listeners directly to the live blues experience. Studio slickness is replaced by in-the-moment performances and off-the-cuff deliveries. It’s like sitting in on a rehearsal or impromptu jam where the musicians are playing for the simple joy of doing so.

Highlights abound on Porch Sessions by Tony Holiday and hardcore blues fans will love every inch of this record. The opening cut features guitarist Kid Ramos and singer/harpist James Harman getting down on a number called “Pickpocket Fingers,” a Jimmy Reed-ish shuffle about a girl with a “Buster Keaton smile” that’s immediately engaging and sets the tone for what’s to follow. Ramos’ rhythm playing is absolutely popping and will make you want to move, even in this intimate context. Chicago guitarist and Muddy Water’s bandleader John Primer checks in with “They Call Me John Primer” and brings the classic interwoven Windy City sound with him. Bob Corritore adds harp in all the right places and Primer sounds as full of life as he ever has.

One of the best cuts on Porch Sessions is the humid and sultry “A Woman Named Trouble,” which showcases Jake Friel on vocals and John Nemeth on harmonica. Built on a subtle-yet-simmering funk groove, the track creates that smoky 3AM headspace that made many of us fall in love with the truth of the blues. When Friel tells us his woman “can make a baby out of a full-grown man,” we are left with no choice but to believe.

Charlie Musselwhite and Aki Kumar guest on the venerable standard “That’s Alright” with Kumar handling vocals. The two harps fill the track with lonesome, moaning licks that will keep listeners in a trance and put the full emotional power of the instrument on display. Tony Holiday and guitarist Rockin’ Johnny Burgin team up on the low-key bounce of “Coin Operated Woman” to great effect, keeping everything right in the pocket, and the set closes with “This Time I’m Gone For Good,” a slow, heavy minor blues spotlighting William G. Kidd on vocals and Ronnie Shellist on harmonica that’s pure midnight heartbreak.

Porch Sessions is nothing but fun from beginning to end and it’s immensely refreshing to bask in its casual glory. This is the raw, homespun blues, the kind of music that made possible all that came after it, and Tony Holiday deserves praise for recording these folks playing it in the most human setting there is.

Highly recommended. ~Mike O’Cull

With "Blow Your Cool", Paul Barry taps into that swinging sound associated with the modern West Coast blues scene, employing original tunes along with his swinging harmonica. Importantly, it is the spirit and soul of Southern California blues man, William Clarke, that is deeply infused in the music on this CD. Many West Coast notables appear on "Blow Your Cool" and they include Fred Kaplan, Wee Willie Walker and Mitch Kashmar. The sound is fabulous and the cover art reminds one of the Blue Note label in the late 50’s and early 60’s. This CD is a true contender!

The word is finally out! Once considered by many locals to be one of Southern California’s best kept secrets, Mitch Kashmar is a name now found commonplace in the vocabulary of any true blues harmonica enthusiast. And while his sudden arrival on the national Blues landscape may appear to be swift and unforeseen, Kashmar’s rise to the top has been anything but. Long before establishing his current solo career status with the debut of 2005’s heralded release Nickels & Dimes, Kashmar had an extensively notable and successful first run with the Santa Barbara based group The Pontiax. The Pontiax began life in the early 1980’s, sweatin’ it out and honing their chops in the local bars and venues in Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties. By the mid-80’s, Kashmar relocated to Los Angeles where The Pontiax’s reputation as one of the premiere West Coast Blues bands continued to grow as they expanded their base and visibility across the Southern California region.

As their popularity flourished the band eventually took to the road with tours throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe and the South Pacific. Their notoriety also found them favor with many Blues luminaries whose high regard for their talent landed them opportunities to back up legends such as Albert Collins, Luther Tucker, Lowell Fulson, Jimmy Witherspoon, Pinetop Perkins, Pee Wee Crayton, Big Joe Turner and Eddie “Cleanhead” Vinson. 100 Miles To Go is the welcome reissue of the long out of print classic 80’s recording by The Pontiax featuring Mitch Kashmar, long before he became a household name. Recorded at Pacifica Studios in Los Angeles, California, the band’s distinguished lineup features Jon Lawton and Bill Flores on guitars, Jim Calire on piano and organ, Jack Kennedy on bass, and Tom Lackner on drums. /Amazon
