Brian Auger's Oblivion Express

[mossy]

Not exactly prog, but I know we have some Brian Auger/Oblivion Express people here on the Moon. I saw this lineup (including BA's son and daughter) in Las Vegas two or three years ago, twas a great evening.

Hi Folks - hope everyone is having a great summer. We're coming back out to
fire up your summer. We hope you will join us. Plenty of new tunes as well as
all of the great classic Oblivion and Trinity songs.

Joining us of course is the lovely Savannah Grace Auger on vocals, as well as
Karma D. Auger on drums. And back with us on bass is Andreas Geck. He's a

Awesome group!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice pick mossy.

I for one would love to see these guys! Big Brian Auger fan

Gort, you're West Coast, no? Because the venue they played here in Vegas no longer exists and there's no comparable place, I'm thinking they'll be giving Vegas a pass this time and going right to Cali. Hope to make the drive for it.

All this talk of Auger got me googling for Julie Driscoll/Tippetts who was the connection for me to Auger, originally. Do you or Keith know if she has passed? I seem to recall reading something about it a few years ago, but can't find any reference to her demise online. A great singer unafraid to push the envelope.
