Joe Cummings And Eddie Baytos For One Night Only At Guitarman

[november222]

JOE CUMMINGS IS BACK IN TOWN FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY PLAYING WITH THE FABULOUS 'EDDIE BAYTOS' LIVE AT GUITARMAN ON WEDNESDAY 12TH NOVEMBER ,SUPPORT FOR THE EVENING WILL BE PROVIDED BY SINGER 'CHERRY LEE', AND 'THE WARREN SIMPSON BAND'. MUSIC STARTS AT 8.30PM . Eddie Baytos is a versatile dancer and musician who has worked with a varied and impressive roster of performers, most recently performing on Annie Lennox's new CD with Producer, Glen Ballard.

Because of his unique choreographic abilities in teaching non-musicians to mimic the energy and movements of veteran players, Eddie has carved out a niche for himself in a desperately needed field. Directors and audiences alike have marveled at the skillful way in which Eddie has taught actors inexperienced in the handling of instruments to portray artists convincingly.

A gifted musician able to play a wide range of instruments including washboard and accordion, Eddie has staged video performances and live tours for a variety of artists including the Eurythmics, ZZ Top, Uma Thurman, Jenna Elfman, Jim Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, John Goodman, Maria Conchita Alonso, Annie Lennox, Weird Al Yankovic, and many others.

His commercial credits include staging and music in national spots for Volkswagen, Coca-Cola, Sprite, Dr. Pepper, Coors, Budweiser, Chevy, Ford, and a number of industrials.

Eddie has also contributed to the scores for film features such as Runaway Jury, Thirteen, and Rugrats, as well as composing the score for an independent documentary on the history of “B” movies entitled Mau Mau Sex Sex.

In Eddie's long and storied musical career he has performed both live and in the recording studio with such artists as Jerry Lee Lewis, George Jones, Bruce Springsteen, Cesar Rosas of Los Lobos, John Fogerty, R.L. Burnside, Muddy Waters, Big Joe Turner, Percy Mayfield, Lee Dorsey, Johnny Adams, Ernie K-Doe, and Zig and Leo of The Meters. Eddie has even tap-danced on record with the famed Fayard Nicholas of the Nicholas Brothers.

I enjoyed Eddie's show at Saxophone Pub in Bangkok last night, high energy music. The crowd demanded one encore after another, nice one.

Is this Joe Cummings the author of Lonely Planet's Thailand guide book?

[WinnieTheKhwai]

yes. Though he's not being doing it for a couple years/releases already.

[ollylama]

apparently the show in bangkok was wild and very well-received. i'm definitely going and have been spreading the good word. after all the same same in chiang mai it'll be nice to see something different: rock and roll accordion music!

plus guitarman's been on the up and up. good vibe going on there. convenient location too for that night as it's close to the river so folks could just walk there after watching the loi kratong happenings.

I'm a huge fan of the washboard and no-one was better at it than Derek Guyler* ('Corky' to his mates). If he's only half as good as good old Corky, it will be well worth the entrance fee - which I believe is ........ FREE!!  

Can he play the Glockenspiel, I wonder?  Sooty can!!

Be there or be square.

I was there and Eddie Baytos and Joe Cummings did a great job. Probalby one the best live acts I've ever seen in Chiang Mai. I didn't like the first gig of Tracy Chapman. I'm sorry that's not her name. I think she's called Cherry Lee. After her was one more band playing, which was quite good.

I've heard Cherry playing a few times, she sings great and has a good repertoire. I can't think why you didn't like her, perhaps you like a different style of music.

Cheers Big Ears :-)

I thought she was good . She has a few clips on YouTube if you want to judge for yourself. Her YouTube name is TheBathroomgirl, because ............... she sings in the bathroom. Well worth seeing.
