I had a great one hour interview with Tori Ruffin tonight on my "Upper Room"
show. The talented singer, guitarist, songwriter spoke on a variety of
subjects. His new Cd, "Juicemaker" from his band Freakjuice is slamming.
Picture funk, heavy guitar, a little jazz, and some great lyrics. He is doing
about six dates in the next few weeks in Northern and Southern California.

Related MPLS news. The Time's new album is in the can. Tori is really hyped
about the project. Much funk and Tori even wrote a song on it. Terry Lewis
played a major role in organizing it and Jimmy Jam is also on the record.
even plays on a track and jams with Tori on it. Tori said he really wants the
record to get out and hopes the distribution gets settled. They want to do
many
new tracks live in concert.



Tori enjoyed working on the Rave special and said talking, jamming, and
hanging
out with , Maceo. Larry, and the MPLS crew was a big highlight. He said rehearses his band 13 hours a day and has his hand in all the operations.
Tori wonders if ever sleeps.



And finally, where is Jesse Johnson? He is doing well writing and producing
music in Los Angeles.



Thanks to Tori Ruffin. A really nice guy and great talent. No excuse not to
have Freakjuice's CD in your playa.
