Bob Lesher September 16, 2009


Bob moved to Victoria in the late 1960's and his arrival brought an instant energy to the budding blues scene with his unique vocal style and magical harp playing described as "Electric City Blues". Many local musicians credit Bob for introducing them to the blues and showing them an appreciation for the masters of the genre. Bob continues to perform regularily in the Orange County California area with his band "Tupelo Blue". Bob will be travelling to Victoria to re-unite with his band mates and be inducted into the Victoria Music Hall of Fame September 20th.

Todays audio addition: May Blitz In Part (Rafadelic Remix) What happens when someone takes a classic tune from your album and does a 2009 remix? Just ask Reid Hudson who sent this along much to his amazement.
