about

This material was recorded live at The North Country Fair in Arcata, California on a stormy Sunday, September 18th, 2022.

As the 23-year running Datura Blues were performing to a crowd of soggy, swaying hippies, the rain and clouds lifted, revealing a curious albatross circling overhead. This was interpreted as a good sign.

Setlist:
Improvisation in D
Do it Dalet
Space River
The Uncanny Valley
Improvisation in E (Featuring the Electric Phin)

"Day two of the North Country Fair, with an appearance on the plaza of a certain two-decade-plus freak-rock act called Datura Blues at 2:30 p.m., a multi-state, long term side project of local music fiend Oryan Peterson-Jones. I hear tell that the rhythm section will even feature two former dudes who used to jam with local psyche-rock monument White Manna, one of whom looks a little like me. (Editor's note: It's totally Collin)..." ~ Colin Yeo, North Coast Journal

For this particular show, Oryan Peterson-Jones (guitar) and longtime bandmate, Wizard (tenor sax, clarinet), enlisted the aid of bassist Colin Yeo (Arson Anthem), and drummer Tavan Anderson (White Manna, CV). To complicate matters, the band had nowhere to practice. With only hours until their scheduled start time, Datura Blues found themselves rehearsing in Oryan's parents' garage, much to the dismay of neighbors.
