Single and EP reviews: JOSH TAERK, SLYDIGS, PETER DONEGAN

Posted on June 29, 2017 by jason

JOSH TAERK Rock N Roll On Josh Taerk has released a new single digitally and it has been a little while since we heard anything new from him. ‘Rock N Roll On’ is a classy upbeat rocker, complete with an instant chorus and a short but sweet guitar solo.

The thing about the blues is it can take your mind off anything. Nothing else matters when you are on stage playing.” The night ends with a powerful version of William Harris’ ‘Bullfrog Blues’ which he dedicated to his fellow musician Larry Miller… Continue reading →

Misty Creek Records [Release date 20.07.15] Josh Taerk is back with his second album, after good reviews for his 2013 debut album. This time he has upped the ante by recording in Nashville, joined by bassist Park Chisholm and drummer Richard Medek.
