New Single "Universal Rock"

Hey friends!

Hope everyone is keeping well out there! Can’t wait to see everyone at live gigs in the future but until then, please check out my first single, my version of Earl Hooker's “Universal Rock” which is the A side of my upcoming 45!

Hope you’ll enjoy this special tune featuring myself on guitar & keys, Kid Andersen on bass, Rusty Zinn on guitar, Big Jon Atkinson on harmonica, Eric Spaulding on sax & Marty Dodson on drums, recorded at Greaseland! 

Please stay tuned... in a couple of weeks I will release the B side on my Facebook page.

New Song & Video: Elvin Bishop’s Big Fun Trio Plus! Lockdown!

Message from Elvin Bishop:
Well, we’re all kind of stuck at home in “lockdown” because of the pandemic and this crazy virus. Usually I bounce ideas off my band to see what they think. So I had an idea for a groove…with social distancing and all, I passed it along to my pal Bob Welsh…in the lo-tech way I operate 😀.
Next thing I knew Kid was in the loop and it just kept rolling on from there! Come on and join us for our “Lockdown” jam. Thanks of course to my band mates, Bob Welsh and Willy Jordan, and to Kid Andersen and D’Mar for joining in on the big fun!
