Archived Videos from 1992 -2000, 2nd Story World-Beat Blues Band
[Some videos were shot by fans, others by amateur videographers.]
The quality of the videos and sound varies quite a bit. Included below are some dynamite rhythmic jam sessions as well as instrumental solos by our band mates. Our band has always featured the musicians, including some of the best West African percussionists and traps players in the area. We were privileged to have the internationally known Coyaba Dancers as part of our show, featuring West African Dance styles from Mali.
From 1983 to 1995, the electric violin was the lead instrument of the band. There are several video tracks featuring electric violin. From 1995 through 2001 the electric guitar was the lead instrument. After that time the 2nd Story Band went back to its acoustic roots and now is performing as the 2nd Story Band DUO/Trio
