The Assembly Line Concert, live from AJ's Music Cafe in Ferndale, Michigan has kicked off in its third run at the Guinness Book of World Records attempt for World's Longest Concert. This is my second year following the concert via U-Stream. This year's attempt is 360 hours of live, continuous music! My blog is covering some of the fine musicians I met last year and who will also be appearing this year.

| Blaise Glander and Kelly Wishart |
I met Blaise Glander and Kelly Wishart during The Assembly Line Concert last year. Over the course of the concert, I saw Blaise perform at least four times and had the pleasure of hearing Kelly bring her bluesy sound to a collaboration of musicians who met during those two weeks in the web site's social stream. Both are not only experienced musicians, but have engaging personalities which draw the audience immediately - instant friends you have listened to all your life.
Together Blaise and Kelly perform as Acoustic Soul. They will be performing Monday, March 28 at 10 a.m. Blaise has a run of solo performances scheduled - Monday, March 28 from 3-5 a.m. (Hours 203 and 204) and Wednesday , March 30 from 1-2 p.m. (Hour 261.)
My friends and followers in the U.K., being 5 hours ahead of the U.S., will be in a good time zone to catch most of Blaise's performances. Listeners will be treated to a blend of all musical genres from rock, pop, jazz & country to Motown & folk and all styles in between. Morning coffee and Blaise's smoky, soulful voice is a good way to start the day. Catch him here in a 9 a.m. April 1st performance with the Smokerman.
Blaise is also a wonderful songwriter, with the ability to capture the parts of his own story which are familiar to all of us. Be sure to check out his music below. And tune into The Assembly Line Concert for a dose of live Acoustic Soul.
