Glad to be part of this site! I have been playing blues for 52 years and still write, record, and perform as often as I can. I have released 25 recordings of mostly original music, along with 2 tributes to Jimmy Reed that I did with my friends (Jimmie Vaughan, Lou Ann Barton, Delbert McClinton, Kim Wilson, and others) and also to Howlin' Wolf. Back in the late 80s, I was a semi-successful artist on Columbia/Sony. My music has been in 6 major motion pictures, 2 documentaries (Sonic Highways/Foo Fighters), and a tv pilot. I hope to connect and hear from you guys if you have ever been at any of my shows in the last 45 years! Omar Dykes

Congrats on your Blues career! I personally haven't had the privilege of seeing one of your shows, but if you're performing in the LA area I'd love to know! Best of luck!
Ran into you in the airport some years back in Oslo Norway. I was headed to perform a festival up north and you had just done so! Welcome to Stage 32 there is lots going on here :) Savage
Great to have you and your talents in this community, Omar! Make sure you get involved in the Composing Lounge - lots of great people and good discussions in there! :)
