Malcolm Clark Band's all-around blues

The Weekly Volcano readers picked the Malcolm Clark Band as their favorite South Sound blues band. Guitarist Clark, bassist Mike Coucoules and drummer Mark Bertolio fused Chicago blues with funk and Latin beats, and cranked out their versions of "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone," "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" and "All Along the Watchtower." Coucoules has fully recovered from his hit and run accident slappin' and pluckin' the hell out of his bass producing a deep funk. — Brad Allen

A big shoot out to the consummate musician Malcolm Clark. Nervous her posse of friends might not stay to see her headline performance Kim Archer asked Malcolm Clark if he wouldn't mind if she and her band play a short set.

Malcolm kindly bowed to Archer agreeing to play after Never Quiet Never Still. Thanks Malcolm. We owe you one.
