The record so far.
Hayden Fogle is making some serious moves these days, leading me to believe that he might not be in town - spoiling Buffalo-area blues-lovers with his virtuosic and ever-expanding interpretation of electric blues history and its various funky, soulful off-shoots – for very much longer. The rest of the world needs to be let in on Buffalo’s long-held secret.
Fogle plays the electric blues like a seasoned journeyman. His depth of soul, incisive phrasing and tendency to favor subtle nuance over flash suggests a musical maturity that belies his tender age.
