Sterling Magee, aka: "Mr Satan" is back in rare form, playing every Monday night at the Peninsula Inn in Gulfport Fl. Local Blues artists/muscians jam along forming an ecletic, yet very entertaining blues ensemble. T.C. Carr, B.Holmes, and others, drop by as guest performers.
Sterling Magee, formally of the duo Satan and Adam.a blues duo consisting of Sterling "Mister Satan" Magee and Adam Gussow were a fixture on Harlem's sidewalks in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Magee sings in a style that fuses blues with elements of soul and rap, plays electric guitar with withering intensity, and uses both feet to stomp out polyrhythms on a homemade percussion setup that includes hi-hat cymbals topped with tambourines and maracas. Gussow plays amplified harmonica in an equally fluent and original way. Together, Satan and Adam have, as journalist Richard Skelley noted, "redefined and shaped the sound of modern blues so much that 'I Want You' from their Harlem Blues debut was included on a Rhino Records release, Modern Blues of the 1990s."Wikipedia...
Adam is now a Professor at the University of Mississippi and has been able to reunite with Sterling from time to time. A documentary on their life, 12 years in the making, is directed by award-winning filmmaker V. Scott Balcerek, and currently is in post-production. Once competed, to be unveiled at an upcoming Sundance film fest in Colorado.
