Sommigen zullen hem nog kennen van Dark Season Blues in 2017, toen hij speelde met The Mighty Combo. Vernon keek ernaar uit om met zijn Spaanse band terug te keren naar Longyearbyen, maar kreeg kort voor het festival een reisverbod van zijn arts om gezondheidsredenen. Cat Squirrel besloot echter al snel om de festivalklussen te vervullen met hun eigen zanger. De muzikanten hebben allemaal veel ervaring en brengen een stevige mix van nieuwe zelfgeschreven nummers en klassieke blues ge\u00efnspireerd door hun rolmodellen, legendes als Big Bill Broonzy, Muddy Waters, Little Walter en John Lee Hooker. De leden van Cat Squirrel hebben elk met veel beroemde bluesnamen gespeeld, van Kirk Fletcher, Monster Mike Welch en Magic Slim and the Teardrops tot &#8220;onze eigen&#8221; Kid Andersen en Dark Season-klassiekers John Primer en Quique Gomez.       <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gitarist Carlos Moreno, oftewel Kid Carlos, ontmoette Vernon tien jaar geleden voor het eerst en sloot zich aan bij zijn vorige band The Mighty Combo. Samen stelden ze Cat Squirrel samen en ze schreven ook samen de nummers voor hun debuutalbum &#8220;Blues Wat Am&#8221; (2023). Carlos was vooral enthousiast over het feit dat Mingo Balaguer, volgens hem de beste harmonicaspeler van Spanje, meedeed. Hij is ook vol lof over de ritmesectie, Oriol Fontanals (bas) en Pascual Monge (drums). Ze kijken nu uit naar hun debuut in Spitsbergen op Dark Season Blues, en wensen Mike Vernon een spoedig herstel!      <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color:#e2e2e2;font-size:12px\"><strong>Dark Season Blues\u00a92025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cat Squirrel is de nieuwe band van superproducer Mike Vernon.
