Politics and Music
I always keep my music and my politics separate. ALWAYS.
I think that bringing my politics into my stage show or into my songs is dumb, and I refuse to do it. I wish other musicians would follow that creed, too.
So if you hear about my blues band playing at Pro's tomorrow night for the Dakotans' Battle of the Bands, don't be alarmed. We play good, non-political blues.
If you like live music, come down to Pro's at 7, grab a beer or ginger ale and listen to the great acts that will be taking the stage. My group, officially the Matt Hittle Blues Band, but unofficially Oedipus and the Mama's Boys, will be taking the stage around 10.
I hope to see you there!

If there's one thing I respect with all my being, Matt - it's an artist. All politics aside - I hope you have a great show and blow some minds with your awesome guitar playing.
I dabble in blues guitar a little myself - but nothing as extraordinary as your skills.
When it comes to guitar-school - you are definitely the Master and I am just a padawan learner.
I wrote and recorded a heavy-crunchy blues bit and put it on YouTube - but I can assure you in advance - it's a pittance compared to your burning talents on the fretboard.

(BTW - Anai is my stage/musical name.)
Good luck and may you win the battle of the bands!
