The inventor of gastronomical boogie woogie.
Like a cross between Justin Wilson
and Robert Johnson,
He sings the blues
He cooks the gumbo
He plays the guitar
He writes the tunes
He feeds the masses
He makes his very own hot sauce
Thats why they call him THE SAUCE BOSS
SAUCE BOSS and his band are touring to support his CD "RAW"
Unadorned, with little or no production, these twelve originals and one traditional tune were cut live in the studio. To hear the tunes and find out more about the CD "Raw", visit SAUCEBOSS.COM

If you haven't caught The Sauce Boss show live and tasted the gumbo, you are missing a very large time.
ONE MORNING IN THE EARLY 70'S, THE SAUCE BOSS WALKED OUT OF HIS HOUSE AND FOUND A 1933 VINTAGE NATIONAL STEEL GUITAR in his front yard. That lead him down the Blues path. Deep in the shed, he penned "Let the Big Dog Eat", which was featured in Jonathan Demme's film Something Wild. Years later he combined his original blues with his hot sauce in a big pot of gumbo, made right on stage. Singing the recipe, he mixed his music and cooking together into a new medium.
SINCE 1990, THE SAUCE BOSS HAS FED OVER 150,000 PEOPLE, ALL FOR FREE while he playing his own swampy Florida blues. A Sauce Boss event transcends performance. It's a soul-shouting picnic of rock & roll brotherhood... involving everyone. And at the end of the show, everyone eats.
JIMMY BUFFETT SINGS ABOUT THE SAUCE BOSS in his "I Will Play for Gumbo" song. Bill "Sauce Boss" Wharton's songs "Let the Big Dog Eat" and "Great Big Fanny" appeared on the Jimmy Buffett compilation album "Margaritaville Café Late Night Menu". The Food Network's series "Extreme Cuisine" visited the Sauce Boss on location in New York and NPR's Morning Edition caught up with him in Paris. The Sauce Boss is the only musician who's been featured in both Gourmet Magazine and Blues Revue Magazine. Let's Get Cookin'!
The Sauce Boss now has taken his music and his gumbo to the streets with the founding of the non-profit 501c3 organization, PLANET GUMBO (planetgumbo.org), where the Sauce Boss and his band perform at Homeless Shelters all over the US. JOIN OUR CAUSE ON FACEBOOK
