This
episode of MyJoogTV features Washington-based bluesman
Tom Principato in a discussion of beer and blues with
Mad Fox Brewing Company head brewer and proprietor Bill Madden. We've been following Principato's career ever since listening to
Blazing Telecasters - Danny Gatton & Tom Principato way back in the early 90's. He is now releasing a new CD,
"A Part of Me", which includes "some of the Washington D.C. area's best musicians who I've been recording and performing with for years: Steve Wolf,
Tommy Lepson, Josh Howell and Jay Turner". Principato is considered a "Master" of the Fender Telecaster and Statocaster and he explains the difference. The bluesman also just returned from a successful European tour so in anticipation to that trip, we sampled a few European-styled brews crafted by Madden. We also learned about Madden's voyage from being a student brewer to now, an accomplished brewer owning a restaurant and a judge in the
Great American Beer Festival. The episode concludes with the Tom Principato Band performing "Down in Lou'siana", a track from
"A Part of Me" at the
Second Chance Saloon in Columbia, Maryland. Cheers.
