Eric Tessmer & Mike Eldred Trios at PCH Club Long Beach

A pair of terrific blues trios perform for you at PCH Blues Club on a Saturday night in Long Beach.
Eric Tessmer's Texas-Blues Soul-chedelic music rules in Austin, while Mike Eldred's "take-no-prisoners" guitar style and his deep song-writing abilities have earned Mike spotlights in both Guitar Player Magazine and Guitar World Magazine. Both blues maestros play all over the world to great acclaim.

ERIC TESSMER

Tessmer is widely considered one of the most vibrant guitarists to follow in the footsteps of blues-rock legends such as Stevie Ray Vaughan and his namesake predecessors. He was actually named after Eric Clapton. His live shows have captured audiences' attention across the United States as power-packed sessions of wickedly fast and precise licks that can light the house on fire - without the need for lighter fluid.

“This guitar prodigy plays like a man possessed.” – Boston Globe “

Tessmer holds a nightly clinic, a sermon if you will, in Strat manipulation.” – Rank & Revue

“Tessmer is the real deal.’ – The Austinist

MIKE ELDRED

Red-hot Americana roots music from one of L.A.'s premier guitarists backed by the Blasters bassist John Bazz with JR Lozano on drums.

"He's not afraid of blurring lines in American Music. By bending all of his favorite musical styles, Mike has created his own original voice in modern electric guitar playing. HE'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT, BABY!" raved Brian Setzer about Eldred's playing on MET's first CD.

"It’s like listening to what the Clash might have done if they had been born 20 years earlier..." - Blues Blast Magazine

Advance reservations recommended. 18+, free parking, VIP seating, full dinner menu at your table.

​Rod Piazza and The Mighty Flyers

Rod Piazza has set a standard for harmonica virtuosity that has established him as one of the preeminent blues harp players around. The New York Times said, "Rod Piazza has perfected the rough drive and edgy tone that characterized the classic Chicago blues sound of Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson and others in the 50's."

Piazza is also a master of West Coast jump blues, incorporating elements of Los Angeles' postwar jazz, swing and R&B combos.

He's consistently surrounded himself with players who bring out the best he has to offer, and epitomize the very best in blues: fresh, swinging, tasteful, exciting and creative. His band for the last three decades, Rod Piazza and the Mighty Flyers, constantly push the boundaries of the blues while still staying true to the spirit and soul of the music. The band's ability to keep the blues vibrant, fresh and alive has led to countless accolades, awards and nominations over the years, including four prestigious Blues Music Awards as "Blues Band of the Year.”

Renowned for their high level of musicianship and showmanship, they virtually created a new style of blues - a combination of low-down Chicago grit, suave West Coast swing and jazz, and the rhythmic drive of the best early R&B and rock & roll. As Blues Revue put it, "Rod and Honey front one of the most popular blues bands in the world. Whether they play at an intimate club, a packed rock room or a huge festival, the Mighty Flyers share with the audience their passionate love of the blues in every show.”

Piazza's infatuation with blues began at a time when many of the masters were still in their prime years, and in the mid 1960’s when the first blues revival was picking up steam, he was in the thick of it.TheCalifornia native began his musical career in Los Angeles in 1965, when he formed the Dirty Blues Band at the age of 18. They released their first record in 1967, which was quickly followed up by a second album in 1968 on ABC/Bluesway Records. At the same time, he was cutting his musical teeth on local club dates with blues pioneers such as Big Mama Thornton, Big Joe Turner, and T-Bone Walker.

Rod then joined his long-time mentor, George "Harmonica" Smith, Muddy Waters' former harmonica player, to form the double harmonica outfit called Bacon Fat. It was through George that Rod learned the power of a dynamic stage performance and developed his prodigious harmonica talents.Says Piazza, "Be yourself, he'd always say."

Rod released two Bacon Fat albums in 1969 and 1970. In 1973 he hired a talented young piano player and Otis Spann disciple named Honey Alexander, who was later to become his wife. In 1976 Rod and Honey began to perform regularly together as the Rod Piazza Blues Band and the Chicago Flying Saucer Band, and by 1980 had become Rod Piazza and the Mighty Flyers.

Piazza's harmonica technique borders on astonishing - a delicate combination of power and grace that maintains the fattest of tones while alternately evoking classic Chicago styles, interpreting R&B horn lines, or playing his own signature licks.And at this point in his career, Piazza has been recording longer than George "Harmonica" Smith did, or Sonny Boy Williamson (either of them!), or Big Walter Horton. He's been making records for more years than Little Walter was alive.

For more than thirty years now, Rod Piazza and the Mighty Flyers have earned their position in the top ranks of blues acts by putting on crowd-pleasing shows around the world and recording eighteen sterling albums of their earthy originals, rousing jump tunes, earnest boogie, slow blues ballads, and animated instrumentals.

Their commanding performances showcase Rod's searing harmonica, his impassioned vocals and his bar-walking showmanship, punctuated by the two-fisted boogies of pianist Honey Piazza, a highly acclaimed musician in her own right. But any Mighty Flyers show is more than just a harp showcase; it's a group effort by tightly-knit elite musicians whose considerable talents complement one another.

Downbeat explained the Mighty Flyers’ audience appeal as follows: "Harpist Piazza has been leading one of the jazziest of blues bands for years, consistently delivering authentic-sounding blues embellished with a little uptown instrumental class. Piazza's vocal sensibilities and unusually enlightened harp work widen the music still more, creating a distinct and accessible blues approach that doesn't sound like yet another sterile reinterpretation of the tradition."

PCH Club in Golden Sails Hotel - 6285 E. PCH in Long Beach - next to Gaslamp.

PAUL THORN at PCH Club Long Beach

Among those who value originality, inspiration, eccentricity and character – as well as talent that hovers somewhere on the outskirts of genius, the story of Paul Thorn is already familiar.

Raised in Tupelo, Mississippi, among the same spirits (and some of the actual people) who nurtured the young Elvis generations before, Paul Thorn has rambled down back roads and jumped out of airplanes, worked for years in a furniture factory, battled four-time world champion boxer Roberto Duran on national television, signed with and been dropped by a major label, performed [on stages with Bonnie Raitt, Mark Knopfler, Sting, and John Prine among many others, and made some of the most emotionally restless yet fully accessible music of our time.


In 2018, Paul released an album titled Don’t Let the Devil Ride, which he describes as “the culmination of my whole life in music, coming back to my roots.”

It marks his first time recording gospel music - featuring guests such as the Blind Boys of Alabama, the McCrary Sisters, and Preservation Hall Horns - and his creation of a body of strikingly original songs that address the foibles of human relationships without necessarily favoring the sacred over the profane.


With 20 years of writing, touring, and entertaining under his belt, he shows no sign of slowing down with his new record, Don’t Let the Devil Ride, breaking genre barriers and topping charts, putting a new twist on his already-entertaining live show.


So that makes this PCH Club show a definite bucket lister for anyone who appreciates a dash of wry humor with their Americana.

If you know Paul, you will be here.

If you don't know him, then you should. Because this is a unique character on the level of a Mark Twain or a George Carlin - and there just aren't very many of those.

Seated show, all ages, free parking, fine dining, and hotel rooms are available at the Golden Sails on property.
