West Of Memphis

West of Memphis



Founded in 1999 by Harmonicist Karl Cabbage and Guitarist Tom Walpole, West Of Memphis has been plying the Blues trade in and around San Diego for 7 or so years. Supported by an array of able sidemen, Cabbage and Walpole has succeeded in keeping the vision of the project on course. Committed to playing high quality and authentic American Blues Music, West of Memphis has not succumbed to market pressures that would have the band lazily following the road well traveled.



In 2006, West of Memphis released their debut effort, Monkey Business which earned the Band a San Diego Music Awards nomination for Best Blues Album 2006. In 2007 The band headed north to Montreal, Quebec, Canada on the invitation from Canadian Bluesman and Harmonicist extraordinaire Bharath Rajakumar, to record the follow up album "Honey Pie". Early reviews on this effort are great. West of Memphis has plans on releasing the "Honey Pie" cd early in 2007. West of Memphis can currently be seen every Friday night at the San Diego House of Blues from 6-10.
