H&B Concert Series presents “Stew Cutler Organ Trio” Live at Altered State Distillery
Sunday, Sept 27th 4:30-6:30
Please join us on Sunday, September 27th from 4:30-6:30 at Altered State Distillery to see & hear
VIRTUOSO BLUES GUITARIST AND COMPOSER STEW CUTLER & his Organ trio!
“We all live the blues, but some of us live for playing the blues”
That would be Stew Cutler, a well-seasoned guitarist and composer who has spent the better part of four decades channeling the blues through his magical fingers. In fact, Cutler’s talent is so engulfing that he easily incorporates jazz, gospel, and R&B in his repertoire.
But the blues, well, the blues always take center stage. Cutler’s upcoming seventh studio album, cleverly titled The Blues From Another Angle, proves his immense dexterity for the revered musical genre.
Stew Cutler is so much more than a genre, a guitar player or a collection of songs. This man has soaked up so many musical experiences that it’s head-spinning. Cutler has shared stages and recording studios with luminaries Z.Z. Hill (Cutler was only 19 at the time), Percy Sledge, Wilson Pickett, Fontella Bass, Earl King, Jimmy Castor, David Sanborn, Bill Frisell, Meat Loaf, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Sweet Georgia Brown, and many more.
Through it all, Cutler has honored the blues. “The blues is a beautiful form and there are so many flavors,” he says. “It’s what makes American music sound American.”
Movies and television are also innately American, and Cutler has done both. He’s on the soundtrack to Martin Scorsese’s 2019 film, The Irishman, performing “How High the Moon.”
