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.
What do you get when you take a self-proclaimed rude dog, and a harmonica player famous for his smoked turkeys, and throw them together on stage? You might answer, "A smoking dog?" To that I would say that the definition of a "smoking dog" is the indisputable evidence of a jam.

Come hear the evidence as The Rudedog and Smokerman take to the Assembly Line Concert stage for two performances: Wednesday, March 30 at 12:00 noon EDT and Sunday, April 3 at 7 a.m. EDT.

The Rudedog is as comfortable as part of a band as he is in a solo acoustic setting. Armed with his guitar, The Rudedog is always ready to entertain with an endless supply of cover tunes, as well as fine original works - I suggest a listen to "Wasted". It is his vocals listeners do not soon forget. Try to describe The Rudedog's voice and you will realize it is as original as the dog himself. His rendition of Govt Mule's "Soulshine" is the best I have ever heard - with apologies to Warren Haynes of course.
Smokerman comes to the stage an experienced harmonica and mouth harp player, in genres ranging from 1970s rock to historical folk music. My favorite of his styles are jump blues tunes. Showing Smokerman's broad musical ability, he will also be performing at 2 pm on Thursday March 31, as part of Dave and the Harmellos, a guitar, cello and harmonica trio. View the archive of his April 1 performance with Blaise Glander here. Always creative, Smokerman is also an accomplished artist and gourd carver.
