JASON RICCI & NEW BLOOD Source: Charlotte - Creative Loafing (12/2009) Date: 12/2009 Writer: Shukla

Jason Ricci & the New Blood An openly gay front man, laden with a goth getup, may not be the norm in the scruff and macho world of the blues,  but Ricci can hang with the best. Ricci is a harmonica player, oft  making his harp sound like a lead guitar, backed by a crew of top musicians where the blues are subtly infused with funk, rock, and world music. The band is a blues and jam machine reportedly touring most of the year for the past several years playing blues ballads to roadhouse barn burners. Double Door Inn
