   About Blues Junkies
Mike Scheer: Guitar & Vocals. Mike has played in bands such as Captive, Den Of Thieves, Pretty Tangled, 4SP, 2Rock2 and The Convertible Jerks. He has also written/co-written and recorded many original songs. Mike is in a Rolling Stones tribute band called Jumpin' Jack Flash. Mike also builds guitars.......................................................................................................... Ed Kruk: Drums. Ed has played with Gary U.S. Bonds as well as with Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels. Ed is also an excellent sound and light man......................................................................................................... Jim (Shag) McCabe: Bass and the occasional vocal. Shag has been playing bass for nearly 20 some years.. He has played in bands such as The Damaged Pies, Brad Wagner, The Boilermakers, Dirty Dogs, Surrender Dorothy, Blue Highway and The Sharon Kenny Band. Shag is known for his solid bass grooves and collection of hats.................................................................................................... .... Rufus T. Firefly: Lead Vocal & Harps. Born to carny folk, somewhere in Middle America, Rufus spent his formative years traipsing around the country being exposed to the cultural and musical explosion that was blooming at the time. From the Stax Soul Sound of Memphis, Chicago Blues, Delta Blues, Motor City Power R&B Crunch to the Creole flavored Americana sounds of the Crescent City, Rufus soaked up these sounds like a stereophonic sponge. Then Rufus had the ultimate "Curtis Lowe" experience; meeting and being tutored and eventually touring with R&B Legend "BULL MOOSE JACKSON" during his comeback in the late 80's. Finding himself at the crossroads, Rufus has taken the trip like so many before him. Rufus is dedicating his life to spreading his passion of sweaty roadhouse Rhythm & Blues with the ultimate vehicle "THE BLUES JUNKIES". At every performance Rufus puts forth the noble experimate of Peace Love & Understanding through Danceable, Romanceable, Backbone Slippin', Sweat Drippin', Finger Poppin', Hang-up Droppin', Money Maker, Hip Shaker, for every Poor Heartbreaker the "THE POWER OF THE BLUES".

Hello to all
Firstly, I hope all is well with you and yours.  I am personally touching base with everyone on my friend’s list.  I have the next few months off before I start a tour early next year, and I want to take this time to thank you for your friendship and support , and share my latest news.  In my latest blog I posted the transcript of my recent interview with MUEN Magazine, which was featured in the October issue. It explains a lot more about who I am behind the music, if you are interested. There is a free mp3 download of a song I did called “Be Still” that can exclusively be downloaded from my iLike profile. As always, just click on any of the links on the right side of my main profile page to access my iTunes, Facebook, YouTube, iLike, official page etc.  If you will, please add me at any site you are on, as I do different things on each site.  I am also announcing that “Blush” and “Disclaimer”, two songs off my debut album “The Good Fight”, will soon be downloadable on Xbox live and PS3 Nation to play on Rock Band. I leave you now with a song I uploaded today on my YouTube.  It’s my spin on my all time favorite blues song, and part of my live set.  I recorded it at my house the other day. It also debuts the new logo I designed. Hope you enjoy it. If you dig my work, share it with a friend. I don’t care about fame or money, I am just one man who loves music, and dedicates my life to sharing it with as many people as possible. Thank you again for your friendship and support.
Best Wishes
Gregory
