Bob Log III

When it comes to motorcycle helmet and spandex-suit-wearing one-man bands, Bob Log III is the best in America. Making a name for himself in the mid-90’s playing with lo-fi blues duo Doo Rag, Log continues to play his skewed, crispy-fried version of the blues on his own. Log’s blown-out vocals and filthy slide guitar playing scream “juke joint you might get stabbed in”, while his goofy personality suggest “hey, this show might sound better from the Chuck E. Cheese ball pit”. And his enthusiasm, showmanship, and just plain out of control presence make for a joyful (if not slightly twisted) down home experience. With Little Cuts, Dirty Bird Cabaret.
