Hello Reverend Raven and the Chain Smokin Alter Boys! I saw your band sometime back in 2005/2006? in Racine, WI. At the time you did not have a website and I guess I gave up looking. To my surprise I found your website today and I am soooo excited. I am always telling everyone I meet that loves blues like I do, that you are the best blues band around. I am definitly going to catch you all in Milwaukee on the 21st of August!!!!!

Saw your gig in Cleveland at Fat Fish Blues. It had to suck for you, no one was there. For me it was fabulous, I had this GREAT blues band almost all to myself. The band did not seem to mind.They played as if there were 500 people there.Coming to your gig on Sept 27th at Brews Cafe in Grandville Ohio. Look for the Greater Akron Motorcycle club. We will be chearing you on!
Kepp the blues ALVIE!

Hello Raven:

I'm looking to catch up with Madison Slim. He knows me from Seattle (I also know RJ from San Fran.) but now I live in Chicago. I'd like to come check you guys out, regardless, but if there is a date with Slim that would be great.

Thanks,

Jaime Sheets

Was at Summer Fest 6/26/08. What a great performance! Slim is amazing; very very talented person. Of course the Rev. is also very talented and entertaining. I love seeing their performances. I am from Rockton,Il. so I see the performances at Big Cities Lounge in Rockford. I love the harmonica; Slim certainly makes it dance to the music!! Quite the musician!

Hello Rev:
I first heard you at the Nautical Inn Bar in Door County. I have been a big fan since. I have been out here on the east coast and became friends with Paul Benjamin of the North Atlantic Blues Fest. I told him about you guys and gave him some of your music to sample. I understand that you will be playing at his Time Out PUB in Rockland this fall. This is a great venue and you will have a great time there. I unfortunatly will not be in the area at that time and will miss you. I promise to tell everyone I meet at the Time Out to be sure to not miss your show. FYI the show starts at 7:00 Pm not 9:00. Two sets and the place rocks. This is an amazing place for the Blues as many top national acts and international acts play there. Keep it up and I hope to see you again sometime. In the mean time I have my I POD.

The Train Station Deopt in La Crosse, you Boys were great.you go through life listing to music but the blues linger in your heart forever. I printed out your calendar. I'm not much of a festival person but there are many other places to see you.
Thanks for the good time in La Crosse!

My first live blues experience was at Blues on 52 Crawdad Festival Chatfield Minnesota June 7. I was entranced by the whole experience. The Rev walking out into the street playing his guitar was the highlight. I believe!! A new fan.

Linda Dirnbauer

Absolutely enjoyed listening and dancing to your music at RiverSplash May 30. I'll be listening and dancing again soon. Sincerely, another new fan.

PT! Kay McCarthy here in Boulder Colorado.
I watched you playing on You Tube! That warmed my thoughts tonight. It's been a long time and I hope you remember the last time Michael and I came to see you and Jeff playing in Muskego or Hales Corners.

Reverend Raven is superb - of course.

You're still the greatest bassist, only more so.

If you find yourself touring out here in the wild, wild west, we would love to see you hard at work.

Best Regards,

Kay McCarthy-Hamers

I just got back from Indy yesterday. We spent the weekend at the motorcycle expo. And of course we went to the noodle to hear some blues. Unfortunatly we missed you by a week. It just wasnt the same without the Rev and the boys. Next year you need to book the noodle the second weekend of February so we can hear some Slow Burn. Hope we see you next year.

Hi Rev, I'm the one who called you today about getting 2 of the Slow Burn CD's at your show in Fargo on 2-9. Please email me so I can send you my address. p.s. your show was AWESOME!!! your were the headliner in my opinion!!!

Rev

February 11, 2008

Big apology to everyone who showed up at Checker's on Sunday. I cancelled the gig while on the road and didn't get near a computer to send an e-mail. Gig was cancelled because of band member illness and no-one to fill in for the gig.

BROTHER SUPERIOR

February 11, 2008

Received recent communication from Mother Superior. Many thanx! Thrilled to discover future booking at Thirsty Ear in Columbus-can,t wait! Fat Fish Blue in Cleveland is an excellent venue-strongly recommend Jennie Pennies Chicken & Biscuits-YUM!

Tammy

February 11, 2008

It would have been a wonderful idea for someone to let us folks in Iowa know that last nights show had been canceled. A few of us once die-hard fans ventured out in the cold and drove to Checkers. Big big disappointment. Checked the web site before leaving. Hmmmm, probably won't be as eager next time.

TC

February 10, 2008

Really enjoyed your show in Fargo last night. Hope to see you again somewhere.

Tammy

I know this is "kinda" like preachin' to the choir, but just want to thank the "Rev" for another wonderful night of music last night at Neumann's Bar in N St Paul. As always, it was a very rewarding evening. I can't think of another band that captures the sound & beat like these guys. Have a wonderful trip to the "Islands"

The Best,

Gentleman Jim & Virginia

Hey Everybody!

I've been lurking for awhile but this is a really cool forum so I decided to
jump in and get my feet wet. I'm new at this so I don't have much to
say but it's been real educational reading here and I look forward to
participating.

You mentioned something about being a blues "educational resource"...would you please email the info so I can pass it on to our music teacher?

Again....great time....we need you to come back and play at one of our local venues.

I saw you guys for the first time on 05/25 at the Hody in Middleton. That was unbelievable. Really. Amazing sound...makes it possible for people who can't dance move from somewhere they've never before. ...and easier for people like me who love to dance, find a partner. Looks like I'm going to have to plan a road trip to see you again anytime soon. I'm calling my sister right now so she takes her friends to go see you in Appleton tomorrow night.

May 25, 2007

Rev- Remember me??? Drummer from "The Valley?" I used to sit-in with you at the "Harvey-Dome" in Oshkosh. Truly some of my fondest memories was playing with you before you obtained notoriety. Even years ago you I said you were a "Powerhouse" on guitar. There are very few guys who can do as many things as you can do. You always kept the house rock'n and you deserve every award you have earned. Hopefully I will see your show this summer. Seeing the Reverand in action...is truly a "spiritual experience." Bless you and your bandmates...a fan always. Shuggy/ Drummer

RevR - Stopped in to check out a new place in Granville, OH on Sat. 5/5/07 and discovered your absolutely fantastic blues band that I didn't know about. Sorry that the crowd wasn't huge - you deserved it! Due to circumstances I couldn't stay for 3rd set. Your guest Ray Fuller was awesome too! Wish you were coming back for the Granville Blues Fest on Sept.15! KEEP ROCKIN!

Hey Guys,
My name is Melissa. My friend and I were @ your show in Des Moines, IA in March. We had such a GREAT TIME!!!!! Probably too much fun! We certainly don't regret it though. I am curious to something I saw in your schedule. I saw you will be in Clear Lake, IA on July, 1st. I am hoping this is correct. We are very excited to see this show. We even have a group planned on being there. However, I want to make certain you will be there. Your response will be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!

Thanks so much!
