Bio
"MINNESOTA'S HARDEST WORKING BLUES AND BOOGIE BAND" "The Bourbones features three of the hardest rocking young blues musicians that ever came out of the Minneapolis-St.Paul area. They were one of the " hot picks" in the Kansas City blues news, which led to their being recorded by Memphis journalist turned musician William Lee Ellis at their last appearance at the Center for Southern Folklore in April 2008. In the past year or so, they've played shows throughout America's heartland including performances in Kansas City, St.Louis, and the Juke Joint festival in Clarksdale, MS, where they played with Jimbo Mathus. One of their proudest achievements was being asked to play at Morgan Freeman's legendary blues club, Ground Zero. Blues historian Tom Gary describes their sound as " not having heard tone like that since the sound of the "Tone King" in the early 1990's." The modern day sound of the Bourbones is revered by their fellow musicians for having the same raw, slightly unrefined tone and spongy feel of these genuine 40-year old vintage amps". Brian M. Paris Center for Southern Folklore Memphis, Tn. April 2009 .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ................Myspace Backgrounds....
