From the Bourbon Capital of the World.....BIG BLACK CADILLAC.....a six-piece old school ryhthm and blues band. From old blues, STAX R&B, to James Brown funk, when we show up, it's time to SHAKE THE MONEYMAKER, baby! We're an assembly of ex-band geeks and just plain ol' geeks that feature the best (and only) two piece rhythm and blues horn section in Central Kentucky. We'll have fun, you'll have fun, and hopefully nobody will get arrested. Injuries are usually kept to a minimum, so if you want to book us for your party, wedding, bar mitzvah, or whatever, just holler at us!! We'll love you before you love us!!
