Happy Fourth of July to music lovers of all ages

I hope all of you had a happy Fourth of July. Although the sun was almost nowhere to be seen this past weekend there was a bright spot this past Saturday. One of my favorite bands and April SMI Artist of the Month, Eldridge Gravy & the Court Supreme brought out the funkshine with their patented brand of funk, rock, R&B and soul. The put on a great show for folks of all ages at Cal Anderson Park in Seattle this past Saturday, July 3rd. For those of you that have not seen or heard this band, I highly recommend that you check these cats out. You will fall in love with them like I have.

To find out more about them, see my video interview, photos and coverage of their most recent show go here.
