Mississippi John Doude and Ernesto "Motor City" Gomez - better known as Voodoo Panther - will bring down the house at the Hummingbird this Saturday. With their brand new CD just completed, this performance will celebrate the release of the band's self-titled "Voodoo Panther.
The guys recorded the CD in Mississippi John's garage over in Milledgeville. According to Voodoo's myspace page, it's "outlaw country meets juke-joint trance." And it's good...really good.
Though they're playing across the state every night this weekend, the band got a chance to stop by the Scene 13 studio. With his cool, laid-back presence, Gomez played a mean bass guitar in their studio performance of "Invincible." While the fierce Mississippi John rocked the kick, hi-hat, guitar and vocals.
Don't miss this weekend's show, Saturday night at 8:00 p.m.! It's your only opportunity to grab the band's new CD. For a preview of what's in store, check out the video to the right.
