“Come hear the band playing in a beautifully restored, 1915, Scandinavian dairy barn, literally two minutes from the I-5 exit 221. The Conway Muse has a full bar, light snacks, and a smoking lounge; a paddle wheel boat, with a 1918, one lung engine, (no pun intended)! Proper wooden barn floor to dance your ass off to a night of in your face, all homemade, bottleneck slide driven, ‘Slop Jar Delta Funk’. – NICK

“Vigarino radiates an unpredictable fervor with slashing slide guitar, powerful vocals, funky licks, modern lyrics and his slop jar delta funk blues. His style elevates the blues to a place where the roots are respected yet nudged towards the future. He consistently captures, then rivets listeners with precise, passionate performances.” - Ray Varner; Blues Historian, Ethno-musicologist, and critic, contributes his writings to many music publications, including Living Blues Magazine, Jefferson (Sweden) and Caledonia.

“Come on down on a Tuesday for a heapin helpin of eats, drinks, and homemade ‘slop jar delta funk’!” – NICK

SLOP JAR DELTA FUNK:

“Improvised instruments were part of the early blues scene.Blues legends described how band members would scour their neighborhoods for parts and pieces that could be turned into makeshift instruments. One tale out of Helena, Arkansas, described percussionists using old pickle jars and cracker barrels — anything they could find to keep a beat on. One solution was a barrel used by a butcher to catch hog slop. That was a good one because, like a drum set, it produced a variety of tones.

They called it a slop jar. I use a lot of old open tuning for slide guitar, hence the Delta tunings. And I’m always accused of being funky.” - NICK
