Collectively over 100 years of playing under their belt, Go For Broke formed out of chance meetings where musicians hang out: music stores and jam sessions. The players have all studied and played different genres, but have come back to the blues . . .
Three of us take a turn at the mic, each with a different vocal and front man style, providing a variety not always found in blues bands. And we are all instrumentalists, which gives sound respectful of the music rather than just the singers' personalities. And together, we Go For Broke"!
