3rd Julius Daniels Memorial Blues Festival

The Julius Daniels Memorial Blues Festival is moving to the last Saturday in February. The 3rd JDMBF will be on Saturday, February 25, 2012, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the Dane Theater in Denmark SC. Juke Joint Johnny will open the show. Juke Joint Johnny is the harmonica player who played with Beverly "Guitar" Watkins at the 2010 JDMBF and at the 2011 Dogwood Festival. Elliott & The Untouchables will close the show with their version of the blues that rocks and swings with an amazing horn section. Tickets start at only $10. The JDMBF is sponsored by the Historic Society of Bamberg County to raise funds to establish a Bamberg County Museum. Call Nancy Foster at (803) 245-1000 for information on becoming a sponsor.

Since Elliott & The Untouchables have not preformed in Bamberg County I'm including some information to introduce the band to you. I hope you will plan to attend to help the Historic Society of Bamberg County.

From the first note to the last note, Elliott and the Untouchables deliver deep blues drenched with raw emotion. From gritty Chicago boogie to swampy Delta blues to Texas shuffles to West Coast jumpin' blues. Every aspect of the blues. The Untouchables serve up thick guitar tones, a smokin' horn section, and sizzlin' keys on top of a red hot rhythm section. Powerful music soaked with energy and soul.

The band has taken their high-energy show to clubs and festivals across the U.S. including the House of Blues, Indiana's Bean Blossom Blues Festival, The Cape Fear Blues Festival, The Charleston Blues Bash, Asheville NC's Bele Chere Festival, the 3 Rivers Music Festival in Columbia, SC, and on Memphis' Beale Street at the Crossroads Music Festival.

The Untouchables traveled to Ireland, opening for music legend Van Morrison at the Monaghan Rhythm & Blues Festival and preformed at the Blackstairs Blues Festival in Enniscorthy. Other international appearances include return engagements at the Tremblant International Blues Festival in Quebec, Canada.

Elliott & the Untouchable have released five CD's on BluePoint Records. Their last release, "Voodoo Stew" has received great reviews, airplay, and international acclaim including a nomination as Best Self-Produced CD in the International Blues Challenge. Previous releases, "Smokin' the Blues", "Both Ends Burnin'", "Danger Zone", and "Last Meal" have been top Sellers for the BluePoint label.
