See influences! Seriously, we play wide range of music from traditional blues to faster, almost funk-jam. It's great to play to the crowd and feel out what's moving them so that we can adjust and throw in a few surprises now and then. We're really a mix of the Allman Brothers and Grateful Dead with a splash of Bobby 'Blue' Bland.
We love playing the blues but a large portion of what we perform is influenced by blues so there’s a lot of classic rock and jam band in our repertoire. We play for people that are looking for something besides “Top 40” hits, and people that just want to have a good time. We play a range of venues, some bigger than others but all are important to us. Our motto is "respect the music and it will respect you."
We generally play the Midwest but welcome the idea of playing anywhere people want to hear us jam! Please contact us regarding any gigs. You'll find that our passion for music is equally matched by our willingness to work with you.
