Acclaimed harp player, songwriter and vocalist Estrin and his band of Nightcats present another infectious collection of whip-smart blues, flled with crafty songwriting and exceptional musicianship. This celebrated band of virtuosos has played every major blues festival in the country and built a devoted worldwide fan base following over 30 years of touring.
Estrin and The Nightcats have toured extensively since forming in 2009, including club, theatre and festival dates in Canada, Norway, Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Romania, Brazil, Belgium, Poland, Italy, Germany, France, Turkey, Argentina and Australia. Tour dates in support of Groovin’ In Greaseland will begin in mid-August and continue through 2017 and beyond.
Aggressive print, radio and social media promotion behind record and tour dates. Past releases received praise in Living Blues, Blues Music Magazine, DownBeat, Vintage Guitar, Block (Netherlands), Jefferson (Sweden), Norwegian Blues News, Soul Bag (France), Twoj Blues (Poland), as well as on PopMatters, AllMusic, No Depression, Blurt-Online and Blinded by Sound.
Groovin’ In Greaseland is packed with contemporary blues and roots music. The songs are delightfully wily and warped lyrically, effortlessly tight and playful musically. Thirteen fresh originals ride Estrin’s powerhouse harmonica and “hard-luck sandwich on wry” lyrics, and The Nightcats’ wild guitar, soul-deep organ and greasy grooves.
