Chumslick Nick and the Sharks are fast emerging as one of the most serious bands on the scene. Their debut album, in final mixdown at VuDu Studios, is the next natural evolution, a CD that will get them certain airplay on commercial stations playing local talent and college stations hungry for material that reflects a love for the style of music that a group plays. With recent rave reviews around the New York City scene as well,it's clear that 2001 is the year of the Shark." "This is a band dedicated to creating new material that sizzles with desire while tipping their cap to a line of great blues men that have inspired them over the decades." "Had a taste yet? Now is a good time to start, before Chumslick Nick and the Sharks take off on that inevitable bigger tour." Steven J. Francis The Long Island Entertainment Feb. 2001
It's a holiday weekend in the US - the Memorial Day weekend. Marking the unofficial start of summer, The Roadhouse 067 definitely has the summertime blues – with no desire whatsoever to cure them. If you mashed up your images of summer with a great batch of blues, you might come up with Michael Burks, Memphis Gold, Chumslick Nick and The Sharks, Chris Juergensen, and Sam Cox and Doug Hurrie. It's a little BBQ, a little travel, and another hour of the finest blues you've never heard – the 67th Roadhouse Podcast.

one night after a late night jam session, a group of fishin' musicians, led bu a guy nick-named "Chummy", put down there instruments, and picked up their gear for a fishing trip. A few hours later, and a few sharks later, an inspiration, a song, and Chumslick Nick and the Sharks were born."
I've got the names of the winners of three Murphy's Saloon t-shirts. Listen to the show for details. This week's music: • I Won't Go Back by Joe White from GarageBand. • Just A Fool by Big Hammer from GarageBand. • Woolly Mammoth by Robert Farrell at the PodSafe Music Network. • Married to the Blues by Chumslick Nick and the Sharks. • Highwayman by Tinsley Ellis at the Podsafe Music Network. Many thanks are also due to Bruce Iglauer and Alligator Records. Murphy's Saloon intro and outro are from Just Got To Boogie and Shuffle In The Nineties, respectively, both by Matt Thorpe. Props and respect to Brain Buckit and Dave from the Chub Creek Podcast, who provided the previous intro and outro, but it was time for a change. If you'd like to see where other Murphy's Saloon listeners live, you can check out the Murphy's Friends map over here. So far, the most distant listener of Murphy's Saloon is in Singapore, while the listener who lives the furthest north resides in the Shetland Islands of the United Kingdom (he's a new listener, too). Do I have any listeners in Africa, South America or central Asia? I dunno - but if you live in those places and listen to Murphy's Saloon, please put a pin in the map.
