From October 14-22, Jemimah Puddleduck www.jemimahpuddleduck.com
is doing a rare tour of the east coast with the John Ginty Band www.JohnGinty.net


Jemimah Puddleduck, based in San Francisco, is made of some of the most sought after musicians, both live, and in the studio. Their “day jobs” with top touring acts prevent them from playing often together, so this quarterly collaboration is making a short tour of the east coast to repay their loyal fans. JP is:

Mark Karan (RatDog, The Other Ones) on guitar/lead vocals
John Molo (Phil & Friends, John Fogerty) on drums
(Grammy winner w/ Bruce Hornsby & The Range)
JT Thomas (Bruce Hornsby) on keys
(Grammy nominee this year with Bruce Hornsby)
Bob Gross (Albert King, Delaney Bramlett) on bass/vocals

The John Ginty Band is fronted by Grammy- winning B-3 man John Ginty. John toured and recorded for years with Robert Randolph and the Family Band, and was on the Grammy winning “Higher Ground” by the Blind Boys of Alabama. In addition, he has been touring all this year with Citizen Cope and has recorded in the past with Sheryl Crow, Jewel, Santana, and Whiskeytown. With John on the keys, he’s joined by Mike Buckman- Bass; Dave O’Donnell- Guitar; John Hummel- Drums; Paul Gerdts- Vocals; and Dave Heddon- Percussion.

Fresh from Bonnaroo, summer festivals, and tours all over the US and Europe, these musicians are joining forces from October 14 to 22 to bring rootsy rock n roll with their eclectic covers and own originals. We have invited several special guests to join us throughout the tour, which will culminate in a live album recording/DVD shoot. Additional live radio and prerecorded interviews and performances are scheduled throughout the week.
