Blues General

ABOUT THE BLUES OPERA: Satan's Preacher Man: The Blues Opera is a landmark recording in the history of the Blues. Beginning with the legend of Robert Johnson and mixing in the mythology of the Blues, Robert Dwight Brown & Rick Terlep have created a masterpiece of lyrical storytelling and musical composition. Written over the course of nine years and composed over the course of four, this Opera has simutaniously become a profane, blasphemous, and yet strikingly Christian allegory. The Book of Revelation as told from the Devil's point of view. This 2 DISC Compact Disc release has something for everyone, Holy and Unholy, Christian and Satanist alike. It is like nothing you have heard before.
Band/artist history
I met Rick Terlep around the turn of the millenium and spent a forturne on a three song demo, then I turned to my theater friend Richard who had a studio and we recorded Satan's Preacher Man over four long years. Using local theater talent, including local legend Brent Ritter , and award winning poet and bluesman Tony Moffeit (both to soon release their own albums) we recorded the locals with theater professionals for our theatrical Blues Opera.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Satan's Preacher Man - The Blues Opera isn't a band, so we don't play live. Our Blues Opera is meant to be staged in a theater, we're hoping someday on Broadway, like Andrew Lloyd Weber's "Phantom of the Opera". It is also a Concept Recording and is no means a finished product. It is meant to be workshopped and then staged with a full set and cast of actor/singers. So, if anybody out there has a theater and the resources to stage the World Premiere of Satan's Preacher Man, we'd love to hear from you.
Your musical influences
Robert Johnson, of course, and most olde timey Blues

BIOGRAPHY OF SATAN'S PREACHER MAN: Born in June 1906, I spent my youth rambling around Mississippi aimlessly searching for my destiny. I thought I found it when I heard a Baptist preacher preaching one day on the corner of Babylon Street and Mt. Zion Way in a long forgotten town in the Mississippi Delta. Unfortunately, there were too many rules and regulations put on me by God, so I found another way to preach; preach through the Delta Blues. I would preach for the Devil. Meeting the Devil, on some forgotten Authum evening, at the CrossRoads of two lonely highways, I sold my soul to the Devil and became from that day forward, Satan's Preacher Man. My favorite memory was buying Robert Johnson's soul at the CrossRoads and eventually killing him to reclaim his immortal soul. After Robert's passing, I went on to found the Church of Eternal Damnation in the remains of a Baptist Church that I set fire to. Soon, thereafter, I met an untimely end in the eternal war between Heaven and Hell. After my first death, my soul returned to Earth in the mortal form known as Robert Dwight Brown. The course of my second life has brought me to write and record a Blues Opera telling of my former existance as Satan's Preacher Man.
