Bluegrass greats such as Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs, the Stanley Bros, Reno & Smiley, Doc Watson, the Dilllards, the Country Gentlemen, etc., crossover musicians such as the Grateful Dead, the Band, Little Feat, etc., and just about anything else that strikes any individual member of the band as poignantly musical, including Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennnings, Phish, Butterfield Blues Band, Canned Heat, Bob Marley, and modern bluegrass artists such as Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder, the Del McCoury Band, Rhonda Vincent & the Rage, Mountain Heart, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Cherryholmes, the Isaacs, etc.
Sounds Like
An amalgam of Spinal Tap and Bill Monroe's Bluegrass Boys
Born of the bluegrass inklings of Phil Myers and Johnny Rutkowski, Phil's habitation on the infamous Skid Row made for the facile additions of Dan James and Alex Babowicz to the cause. It was on a sunny day at the East End Cafe that Phil and Dan arrived at the band's name -- Front Porch Bluegrass, soon to become the Redneck Mothers. However, the frequent appearances at the East End Cafe's open mic night (held on sunday) prompted the band's current name: Drunk On Sunday.
After a stint with Chuck Knott taking over guitar duties, Johnny returned from equatorial regions to fill in the blanks. Currently playing in and around the Newark, Delaware, area, Drunk On Sunday has but one mission: to spread the gospel of bluegrass to the masses.
OMG none of DOS has checked this page in almost a year ... makes me sad. It feels like yesterday I was getting wasted at the east end partying and taking y'alls pictures. Can you make the songs downloadable please?

Come see Jim & Jessica wreck the place tonight in Wilmington, DE. The killer guitar duo and band adds a hard rockin kick to traditional blues, at Delaware's hottest blues club, The Blue Parrot - New Orleans Grille, Wilmington.
Jim Cara plus Jessica Dangelo from Control Freaks have put together a deadly house band, that pushes traditional blues to the edge, as hard as far as it can go without falling off. Throw together Jonny Lang, Govt. Mule, Joe Bonamassa, Thin Lizzy and Zackk, while still getting acclaim from many veteran Jazz and traditional die-hard historic fans is what they do like nobody's business.
As Jim will say, he's been looking for the right guy to pull this off for 20 years and found it in Jessica.
Is this the next best guitar duo since Perry and Whitford, or Gorham & Downey? Unbelievable stuff comin' out of this pair.
