Sex sells, this is usual saying and it's for most things in life, also in Music. But most times these beauties are only additional company for some old wrecked guitar heroes or blonde curled frontmen in an ancient melodic Rock band, to help lifting his broken selfconfidence, - yea well or anything like it.... But Girls on Stage performing is still a rarity in Hardrock or as in our case - in Bluesrock.
Well, this year's 'Blues Caravan' goes under the slogan: Girls With Guitars'. And this again is english new blues talent Dani Wilde, and both american artists Samantha Fish and Cassie Taylor. All three of them have built up an individual reputation meanwhile, although they haven't reached superstardome yet. As often in the Blues scene the popularity of musicians only spreads in insider circles. 

But compared to other Bluesmusicians, who have performed at the Garage here, tonight it's pretty crowded with about 100 freinds of the Blues rhythm, though everybody's gotta get up early tomorrow morning for work. That's the reason, why the gig starts early at 8 p.m.  without any support act. But this is a bit tricky, as the girls here intend to play 150 minutes with a little break inbetween. 
This is is very long indeed and some people in the audiance fear, that this would be a little bit too much of all good things. But it doesn't take long to know better.....

What a surprise, as these three sexy ladies show soon, what great talents they own - respect! They share the vocals and the guitar solos in a right mixture and very individual way, so in never gets a single minute boring. Dani Wilde has a hell of a voice,  I personally do luv Samantha on her 6 strings. And Cassie plays the bass, as if she had been born with it, though her voice is not quite as strong. But she over plays this with a lot of charming approach to the audiance, paying her attention even to the very last row. Dani talks about her charity work in Africa, which is the biggest thing for her in life next to the music. And she obviously has noticed, that german men do look much better then the one's in her home country Britain. - And all the male audiance does luv this here. Well Dani, please don't over do it, otherwise our boys start thinking to much of themselves, also I do understand, that it's always the things we do not have, which are interesting... Well never mind...

...und der einzige Herr in der Damen-Liga blieb vornehm, aber doch unverzichtbar im Hintergrund

Our girls here are still very young..Sammy is just about 21, has established herself in her home town Kansas City and around pretty well already, but still need the big reputation worldwide. Though she puts out some solos, as if she's been in the biz for 30 years. I'm not lying. All these girls are truly natural talents. 

While Dani Wilde has already 2 soloalbums on the market, Sam and Cassie still have to celelbrate their debuts. Cassie has one big bonus as she's the daughter of Bluesman Otis Taylor. And this is a brilliant base. Although she is in her early twenties as well, she had played on 8 albums of her dad and for instance on Gary Moore's 2008 release 'Bad For You Baby'. - So guess what? The talent has obviously been put into her cradle.

How these girls have found together, I can' tell you , but this cooperation has been a goal for sure. Together they have recorded one album, which was released via Ruf Records here in Germany. With this tour the threesome is trying now to catch up some more reputation. And they are on the right way, I'm sure.
The 2 1/2 hour performance  includes solo material but also covers by Steve Miller 'Jet Airliner`, performed with a very extraordinary note.

the evening closes with an acoustic version of 'With a Little Help From My Friends'. And that's it. Time has passed by much to fast and it seems, as they had placed just about 30 minutes. But that' s exactly how it should be. As you know: - forgetting time and not feeling your legs from long standing - then a concert is really great and not because of any other reason - in first place. And though there have been some sound problems including ripped strings -  forget about this - It's been a good show and they are good. It's as simple as that.
