Saturday night we are going to the Mableton Amphitheater for a concert by Foghat (Slow Ride), and the Fabulous Thunderbirds (Tuff Enough, Wrap It Up).

Also playing is the Marty Manous Band. Marty is a friend of mine, a really great guitar player, and teaches lessons at Fret Not. He's got a great blues rock band, and I'm glad he's moving up in the music world.

If you're going to the Foghat concert, and you've never heard Marty play, you are in for a treat on Saturday!

the band is foghat in name only........none of the original members from the 70's..


ok i was wrong... roger earl is with them on this tour...the original drummer.


foghat was mostly lonesome dave peverette (vocals\guitar\writer) and he died in 2000


hate it when what amounts to be a cover band tours under a known name

But the Marty Manous Band is still the original Marty Manous!!! And that's who I'm going to see, and why I bought the tickets. Although, I am looking forward to the Fabulous Thunderbirds, just to hear Kim Wilson on harmonica. He's got a great band!

ok...not familiar with that band, but hopes it gets them some exposure.....are they on this tour, or is this just a one shot deal because of the location

The Fabulous Thunderbird's,,,,Is that Stevie Rays brother?

no...jimmy vaughn left that band in 1989.......they have the original singer that owns the name, other wise it is just another cover band

I know someone else who'll be there too. Have a great time.

Roger Earl, Craig MacGregor, Charlie Huhn and Bryan Bassett make up the band now.

David Peverett (Lonesome Dove) died February 2000 from Kidney Cancer and Rod Price died March 2005 from a heartattack.
