Bio
Paul Petit - Lead Singer, Blues Harp, Sax and Flute. The Detroit Breakdown Band is a long-awaited project. A singer and harmonica player for 30+ years, the J. Geils Band has been a personal favorite. Along with the other band members, Paul brings all of the old school songs from the classic era, like: First I look at the Purse, Lookin' for a Love, Homework, House Party, Musta' Got Lost, Pack Fair and Square, Southside Shuffle, Whammer Jammer, Hard Drivin' Man. In addition, Songs by artists like Gary Moore, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Joe Cocker, Eric Clapton and The Allman Brothers will be included. You may even hear an original or two! We will travel to your private parties and events! > -
