| Video Discription | Recorded Live at The Tampa bay Blues Festival April 10, 2022 in St. Petersburg, Florida "Rock & Blues Muse" Review of this song The acclaimed St. Petersburg-based Backtrack Blues Band recorded their new live album at the Tampa Bay Blues Festival on April 10, 2022. These seasoned musicians combined have garnered a Grammy Award, two Blues Music Awards, a Keeping the Blues Alive Award, and three Tampa Bay Music Awards for “Best Blues Band.” “Make My Home In Florida” is a righteous Sonny Charles original that sings the praises of The Sunshine State. It’s an unhurried and expressive slow blues that gives Charles the chance to tell us all about his home state and blow some mighty fine harp lines. Charles is a solid improviser who plays tasty, well-defined ideas in his fills and solos. His tone is thick and dirty and makes an excellent contrast to his vocal smoothness on this excellent cut. Backtrack guitarist Kid Royal also came ready to play and delivers tight, understated rhythms and emotive, clean-toned leads that show off his depth and intuitive command of classic blues. He keeps his licks laidback and lowdown at all times, never overstepping his spot in the arrangement. The entire band shines brightly here and it’s easy to see why this bunch has been around for so long. Turn this one on and let it warm you up like the Southern sun. The band consists of Sonny Charles on harmonica and vocals, Kid Royal on lead guitar and vocals, Little Johnny Walter on rhythm guitar, Joe Bencomo on drums and Stick Davis on bass. On larger shows, the band is joined by Wayne Sharp on B3 organ and the Backtrack Angels on backing vocals. “This tune is an expression of love for the tropical place that we call our home. Florida is a special place, with amazing beaches, forests, wetlands, rivers and more. We feel blessed to be surrounded by the tranquility and nature found on the Gulf of Mexico. This song is an expression of the joy we find in such beauty.“– Sonny Charles The Backtrack Blues Band was formed in St Petersburg, Florida in 1980, and is one of the longest-running blues bands in America. This high-energy quintet features Chicago- style blues, with Texas influences. Exceptional guitar, harp, and vocals have made this band a favorite on the American and international festival circuit. Backtrack Blues Band has performed in concert with the world’s greatest blues artists, including Stevie Ray Vaughan, BB King, Buddy Guy, Gregg Allman, Robert Cray, Johnny Winter, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Koko Taylor, John Lee Hooker, and many more. The group has released eight albums of original music, including this latest album on Gulf Coast Records. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since 1995 , the Tampa Bay Blues Festival has had the privilege of presenting some of the world’s finest blues music on the scenic shores of Tampa Bay.

The award-winning festival has also showcased some of Florida’s best blues talent, including the area’s longest running blues group - the Backtrack Blues Band. On "A Day By The Bay" this live recording and film captures the Backtrack Blues Band’s festival show from April 10, 2022. It’s a set of energetic, honest, original blues music that’s evolved over the band’s impressive 42 year tenure. With Sonny Charles on harp and vocals, Kid Royal on lead guitar , Wayne Sharp on B3 organ, the Backtrack Angels singing backup, and a rock solid rhythm section, this recording captures an exciting performance from musicians who have loved and valued the deep roots of our glorious blues tradition.
