Alicia Marie Venchuk: Dobro for Wally's Blues

Alicia Marie performs her own tune called, "Wally's Blues." In this video, she is performing at the Detroit Blues Challenge. The event was sponsored by the Detroit Blues Society and took place at Callahan's Music Hall in Auburn Hills, MI.

A little back-story about the song: This song is largely improvised, but Alicia had some themes in mind beforehand, like the percussive guitar elements. Wally's Blues is named after her cat, Wally, who passed away this past summer and used to have a fondness for scratching couches and woodwork around the house. Alicia tried to mimic those sounds on her Dobro.
