It's a Wednesday night at Evangeline's in Central West End of Saint Louis. As "the fan base" of Dave Shogren's band Benbow City Shuffle I'm looking forward to the group's return to the venue. (The piano by the window reminds me of Richie who has disappeared from the mix of late). I arrive early enough to edge may way into the group photo at the door. (Above: Al Funk, Wes Morgan, posing as drummer, Noddin Dave Shogren and Joe Gavin).
This travelling core is the essence of Dave's musical configurations that I've seen perform around town as Noddin' Dave and the OMG, Benbow City Shuffle, The Tiny Desk series, The Mud Brothers and more. Oh London, Black Salt, Jovick Brothers, Crown Candy Plaza, Pop's Blue Moon, Upstairs at O'Connell's Pub, 100 on the Park on Kingshighway, Cloverlief Golf Course,,, to name a few.
