Log Cabin Blues Live: In Washington
Self Produced

Log Cabin Blues Live: In Washington is a companion release to Micah Kesselring’s earlier 2014 EP release Log Cabin Blues. Kesselring has become a popular visitor to Washington State, where he first traveled after receiving The Blues Foundation’s Generation Blues scholarship. This scholarship allowed Micah to attend the Centrum Port Townsend Acoustic Blues Festival & Workshop at the age of 15. Now 21, Micah has performed onstage with people like Hubert Sumlin, Otis Taylor, Bob Margolin and Sean Carney and has been a headliner at the Cali Blues & Folk Festival in Columbia, South America.

This five song EP features four of the tracks originally found on the Log Cabin Blues album, plus the addition of “Big Mama’s Door,” all recorded live at either 88 Keys in Seattle (where it was simulcast on the Mighty Mouth Blues Show with Oogie Richards on NWCZ Radio) and at the Leaveworth Music Festival in the summer of 2014.

Micah Kesselring is an impressive artist who over the past six years has evolved from being an acoustic guitarist to an impressive multi-instrumentalist. He has a wide range of approaches and blues stylings that for many may take a lifetime to accomplish; he’s simply another of those old blues personas captured within a young man and it’s mighty scary just how much he has advanced over a short time and where he can possibly head from here.

For anybody who loves acoustic blues played in the traditional manner of the old Delta or Piedmont artists, Log Cabin Blues Live: In Washington is something to be heard.
