It didn’t take long for the Troolee Dangerous Blues Revue to move from a lark to a truly popular band. The quartet started as an idea to do some recording and ended up as a Whammy winner for best new performer. To hear Tom Colvin tell it, it’s amazing the band is even a band. “Actually, we got together just to do a private little CD project. Then last summer we went to Lima, Ohio and participated in something called the Blues Challenge. We went over there for the fun of it and we won.” Maybe it’s that focus on fun that makes Colvin, Nick Crickmore, Jeff Nebro and Jimmy Rossington such a good band. They’re loose and they have a good time. From the exposure in Lima, Troolee Dangerous Blues Revue began to get gigs. The band first made itself known to the whatzup world when it played on the whatzup deck during the seventh anniversary bash. Crickmore made such an impression as a blues aficionado that he got the call to fill in as whatzup blues columnist when regular contributor Joey O was in Europe last summer. As for the CD project, “we haven’t done anything with it,” Colvin said. “We haven’t had time. We’re a band.” |
