Possessed By Paul James

"One-man band Konrad Wert grew up in a Mennonite family, raised by preacher father and a piano player mother, which accounts for both the baptized-in-fire-soul and musical versatility heard in his gritty Old World music. Wert's mix of blues and vintage folk howls with a sense of explosive freedom and latent rage-not unlike an Amish kid emerging from the wilderness to discover America -that instills his simple guitar/fiddle/stomp-box arrangements with unusual passion.

The Medicine Show

Totally live and totally authentic -
THE MEDICINE SHOW sound like the hottest, wettest, most nasty swamp
you've ever even heard tell about.
crocs! Snakes that'll crawl right up your leg, and skeeters big enough to
strip the living flesh from a grown
man's arm. A tar paper shack with a boiled ham hanging in a sack, in the
shade of the willow tree.
Fear, aching, love and pain, running from the cops cos you just know
they's gonna put you in jail again. Band Members
