It’s that time again! Every 2 weeks, we feature 2 of Sacramento blues legend Mick Martin’s recordings. We have been doing this since May- this is our 14th installment!

These two releases are live and come from later in Mick’s career. This one is from 2022 and appears to have been recorded from 1 show at the Sofia.

From Dennis Newhall and Mindy Giles’ collections.

Mick Martin and the Blues Rockers- Stages and Phases CD 2015 Sacramento

The second one in this installment of the Mick Martin Memorial series appears to be a memorial of its own. Released in 2015, it seems to be a compilation of a few different live shows to honor bass player Stephan Schofer.

There is not much info about this release online. No info about the individual recordings that are compiled.

From Dennis Newhall and Mindy Giles’ collections.

Flipper Tribute maybe?- Purple House, Oakland Ca xfer f/master VHS tape

It’s an unexpected 2 Eggplant day! Double the Eggplant. I was supposed to post a Todd Nakamine video today and ran out of time so Todd will have to wait until tomorrow. Hint: It’s gonna be dark and rare.

This tape had “Flipper” written on the label, and someone mentioned a Flipper tribute when I posted a different set from this night. This is also dirgy and noisy, so I think it might be the flipper thing. Correct me if wrong.
