    logo_mainstageCottonwood AZ (August 15, 2013) – The Bresnan Blues Band comes to play ‘hard-driving blues’ at the Main Stage Theater, Music Art Community, 1 S. Main Street, Cottonwood AZ 86326.

    “(We) feel the music….and the musical structure of Blues allows us the freedom to mutually improvise and deliver our own emotional expression directly to the audience.”

    The Bresnan Blues band performs rock-inspired blues music with influences ranging from traditional blues, 50’s rock and roll, jazz, and classic rock. The band presents original material, traditional blues classics with a fresh perspective, and ‘blues-i-fied’ songs pulled from other genres. The band brings together some of the most accomplished musicians in Northern Arizona and features Dan Bresnan on Guitar, Hutch Hutchinson on Bass, and Bob Sellani on Drums.

    20130815_brensanbluesbandDan Bresnan has been a guitarist for more than 40 years, and has been publicly performing for more than 30 years. Having performed, written, and recorded across a wide variety of musical styles, Dan’s performances represents an expressive fusion of many diverse influences. Dan is Board Member and Officer for the Sedona Performing Arts Alliance, and performs regularly across the Northern Arizona and the Phoenix areas playing guitar, bass and keyboards. In addition to the Bresnan Blues Band, Dan can be seen performing as a member of Blackbird, the Rifftor’s and the Heavenly J’s.

    Hutch Hutchinson began playing guitar at age ten but switched to bass a couple of years later. He also can play keyboard and drums. He’s been gigging since the age of fourteen, strongly influenced by the playing styles of Paul McCartney, Jack Bruce, Jack Cassidy, Stanley Clark, Larry Taylor, Criss Squire, to name just a few.

    Hutch grew up in Kansas City and moved to Phoenix in 1969. During the ‘70’s he was a member of Whisper, managed by Neil Smith’s (Alice Cooper’s drummer) mom, June Smith. He has performed throughout the Southwest and as far east as Texas and Kansas, and was a member of the legendary Northern Arizona blues/rock band, Dry Heat.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
