Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise

Oct 18, 2008

I'm pleased to announce the we have now released the debut album from Earl Thomas with Paddy MIlner & The Big Sounds! We launched it at the begining of the month on the The Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise which departed from San Diego, California and cruised down the coast of the Mexican Riviera.



We did 4 shows over 7 days on the ship and we had a blast. The shows were great, and the other artists on the boat were amazing. We had to privilege to be part of a stellar lineup which included Dr. John, Ronnie Baker Brooks, Etta James, Los Lobos, Koko Taylor and many other blues greats.



Our very own horn section The Horn Stars were invited to join Dr. John and sit in on his last show on the boat! They will also be playing with Dr. John at London's O2 Arena on Oct 25!

I'd like to extend a big thank you to all the wonderful musicians and fans we met on the ship. It was an amazing experience, and I made some great new friends.

If you would like to get a copy of the Earl Thomas with Paddy Milner & The Big Sounds album please get in touch.

Until the next time,
