John Rhys and The
Cherry Bluestorms (Deborah Gee & Glen Laughlin)
John Rhys
"The
feelings I felt that first time I heard the blues, will never leave me. A young
man, just come from England to a strange and different land where the only new
friends were black people and their children, built a bridge in my heart. The
loneliness disappeared and was replaced by a never ending love of all that is
The Blues. The players, the history and the music have been an integral part of
my life ever since and I'm sure will be until I die."

The Cherry
Bluestorms (Deborah Gee & Glen Laughlin)
Deborah
Gee was having success placing songs from Portal, her A&M-funded solo album, in
TV shows and films. She was looking for a guitarist to collaborate with, when
she met Glen Laughlin at a coffeehouse.
Glen had been developing the non-standard tunings
that are the signature of his style while playing and singing with punk pop
legends The Dickies (A&M) and former The Pop frontman David Swanson (RCA).
