Ny podcast fra vores partner
Ny Podcast Fra Vores Podcast
Straight Shooter partner Christian Bundgaard (Blue Dane Production ApS) har lanceret en ny podcast serie, der sætter fokus på hvordan man lever som kulturformidler i Danmark.
”Kulturens ansigter – Kunsten at leve af kultur” er en ny podcast, der forsøger at sætte fokus på, hvordan man som kulturformidler (musiker, billedkunstner, skuespiller, koncertarrangør/venue mv.) lever af og i en branche, der konstant er i forandring.
Hvad er det der gør, at man vælger et liv som musiker, billedkunstner, danser mv? Og hvordan holder man sig kørende i en uforudsigelig kulturverden?
I podcasten får de medvirkende mulighed for at reflektere over deres egen rejse og karrierer samt kigge ind i fremtiden for dansk kulturliv.
Hvordan lever man som kulturformidler? Hvilke valg er truffet for at være der, hvor man er i dag? Og hvordan ser ens egen fremtiden ud?

Christian Bundgaard Joins Straight shooter
We are pleased to announce that Christian Bundgaard has become a partner in Straight Shooter. Christian and Peter have known each other for about 10 years and have worked together off and on in the music business. Christian has passion for New Orleans and the music around it, and has stayed in New Orleans for longer periods to develop his piano playing. Christian brings in talent both as a respected musician and as a person with a lot of media knowledge and experience. Christian will focus on PR, IT, social media, booking and business development.
Background:
Christian Bundgaard was from an early age exposed to the sounds of the blues, rock & roll, and jazz.
Chris did not grow up in a musical family, but both his parents were passionate about listening to music and attending concerts. When Chris was around nine years old his parents started bringing him to concerts and Chris got to experience B.B King, Buddy Guy, The Shadows, and a lot of danish musicians. But it was one concert in 2008 that changed a 14-year-old kid’s life. Chris and his dad went to see Dr. John in Amager Bio.
The Doctor worked his magic on the audience and that sparked an interest, in a young danish kid, to figure out where these sounds came from.
Sounds and vibes he had never experienced before.
Chris’s mother had been to New Orleans for the first time in 1987, and when Chris’s parents saw the growing interest for New Orleans music, they booked a trip for all three of them. So in 2011, at the age of 17, Chris spend time in The Big Easy.
This was the beginning of a long-distance relationship, with many journeys ahead for Christian Bundgaard.
Inspiration and music
Christian Bundgaard has learned from some of Denmark’s piano masters and legendary musicians such as Hans Knudsen, Esben Just, Peter Nande, and Peter Sørensen.
With this kind of inspiration around him, there was no doubt that he got turned on to keep learning and digging deeper into a genre which for a person born in 1994 can seem a little out of place.
When Christian Bundgaard started trips to New Orleans he started picking up knowledge from musicians such as Jon Cleary, John Boutté, and Josh Paxton.

Big Creek Slim &
James Harman
2021 Tour
Big creek slim & James harman - 2021 Tour
The two top blues singers will tour together in April/May 2021 and record a new album. They will play a mix of their own song and pre-war classic blues and share stories from the road.
James met Creek back in 2016 and liked his “thang” and Creek was sitting in on his gig. Straight Shooter Records suggested bringing the two together for a tour and a recording session.
James Harman (74), a native of Anniston, Ala., began his career as a blues artist in 1962 at age 16. He released a handful of singles in the ‘60s, eventually relocating to Southern California in 1970. It was there where he made his career, first with the Icehouse Blues Band and later in 1978 as The James Harman Band.
A charismatic showman and gifted songwriter, Harman has recorded more than 20 albums, snagging a combined six Blues Music Awards nominations for his Electro-Fi releases, Bone Time (2015) and Fineprint (2018). Liquor Parking was released in 2019 and more albums are in the works.
Big Creek Slim (38) was born in Ikast in Central Denmark. Early in his teens, he developed a fascination with blues music. Big Creek Slim is a blues man as sure as the day is long. Don’t believe it? Hear that voice. Feel the passion and intensity that he brings to the blues. Big Creek Slim’s trademark is authentic pre-WWII country blues and early Chicago Blues. Right now he’s the hottest Scandinavian blues name and has received a rain of awards, and has excited the blues crowds all over Europe
