DOCTOR MONGO & HARRY HARPOON - 2008 INTERNATIONAL BLUES CHALLENGE SEMIFINALISTS, MEMPHIS TENNESSEE
It's August and we have just returned from the Idaho mini-tour. We were a hit at Sidewinder's in Twin Falls and we had the usual great party at Bux's in Challis. The highlight of the tour was the Iron Horse Festival on Sunday, August 3rd in Shoshone, Idaho. Bernie and Sherri from the Iron Horse Saloon were our hosts and sponsors and put on a very enjoyable and FREE event in the park just down the street from the Iron Horse Saloon. There was lots of fine music (including us as Featured Artists!), good food, a kiddie train, a tattoo shop, raffles for prizes to raise money for the local FFA, frisbee, hacky sack and more! There were bikers, car buffs and buckskinners in attendance and lots of just plain folks. When the music ended Sunday evening, many adjourned to the Iron Horse Saloon where we left a raucous crowd to carry on after we had our fill of Guinness Stout. We will be playing in Twin Falls, Challis and Shoshone this winter, so check the calendar for future events and put the Iron Horse Saloon in Shoshone on your travel agenda.

In January, we went Way Down South to the Alafia Rendezvous in Florida. We hit BB's Jazz, Blues & Soups in St. Louis on the way out and played up a storm in Florida. We were sponsored by the Klamath Blues Society to the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN on Jan. 30th thru Feb. 2nd, so we stopped in Memphis to raise some sand. We are back in the Extreme Proximal Delta (Rocky Mountains) . Look for the calendar to fill out in the meantime.
Woodman (Mike Briscoe) has made a CD of his humorous Mountain Man tales with my help on the recording end. I have added his e-mail to the "Contact" section if you want to contact him about obtaining a copy. He is good, he is funny, check him out!

HELLO, EVERYBODY! Doctor Mongo is my name. If you've heard me play, you know I love the Blues but there's more to my story. Friends and fans can check out the music here, look for upcoming performances on the gig calendar, buy CD's and download singles or leave a message on the guestbook.
Whether I'm playing at an outdoor festival, a roadhouse or around the campfire at a Mountain Man Rendezvous, you'll get a big dose of that Good Time Feelin', which is what I always prescribe!
Many Thanks, Doctor Mongo
