'Musician Extraordinaire' April, 2008
RIP - River Cabbage
The NC Music community
has experienced the loss of one of it's most
talented, passion-driven and skillfully sharp and
humorous - not to mention "legendary", musicians on
April 5th due to a blood clot in his lung. Formerly
from Wilmington and California prior to that, River
was currently living in Durham, NC where among his
many projects he fronted with the popular Go To Hell
Blues Band and his mother-ship band Neptune's
Buffalo with his partner Rainbow. "The Legendary"
River Cabbage was all about community spirit and
even found time in his busy recording and performing
career to share the Raleigh area radio waves on WBZB
with WNCM.com publisher, Annette Warner for a series
of songwriter showcase/talk shows focusing on local
songwriters called the "A-List. River will be very
much missed in his area, and the national music
community as a whole. Please send Rainbow, his
musical partner, and wife - your condolences at
neptunes_buffalo at msn.com. Please return for
more on River's music career soon. As we
absorb the loss, and gather appropriate words to let
you know just how magnificent this musician was. -
