Gwil Owen – “Gravy” (plus music from Ha Ha Tonka and Avett Brothers in advance of CBGB Festival in Chicago)

Friday, November 21st, 2008

Here’s a little something funky from Gwil Owen. Gwil’s been in a number of influential band since the early seventies but has also been a successful songwriter for Toni Price, Allison Moore, Kevin Gordon, Keith Richards and Levon Helm.

“Gravy” won’t win any awards for creativity but it’s organ and guitar driven funk and roll will get your Friday night party started right. Gwil Owen’s new record Gravy is available now from Cd Baby here.

Today’s the last day I can remind you about Chicago’s first, only, and best winter music festival – Chicago Bluegrass and Blues Festival or CBGB for short. It’ll be held inside (thank goodness) at the venerable Congress Theater. The lineup is solid peaking with performances by Lil’ Ed, Ha Ha Tonka, and The Avett Brothers.
