Jim Suhler and Monkey Beat have been on the music scene now since 1993, and have built a fan base worldwide. They are well known for their no-holds-barred approach to blues-inspired rock and roll and roots music. They have shown an amazing depth of songwriting and playing, and their constant touring in both the USA and Europe has garnered many admirers. They have worked with noted producers Terry Manning (ZZ Top, Led Zeppelin, Stax Records & more), Jim Gaines (Stevie Ray Vaughan, Santana, etc.) and Tom Hambridge (Buddy Guy, Lynyrd Skynyrd).

Jim is also well known as the lead guitarist for George Thorogood and The Destroyers since 1999, and has often been included in "Top Ten Guitarists" lists of various music publications.

The band is releasing it's latest cd on February 17 on Underworld Records, TIJUANA BIBLE. The cd is produced by Jim Suhler & Tom Hambridge, and guest artists include vocalist Jimmy Hall (Wet Willie, Jeff Beck),Elvin Bishop, & Joe Bonamassa. TIJUANA BIBLE features 16 songs, twelve Suhler originals and cover Elvin Bishop's "Drunken Hearted Boy", Rory Gallagher's "I Could've Had Religion", and AC/DC's "Up To My Neck In You".

"Jim Suhler & Monkey Beat conjure up serious Texas roadhouse blues rock mojo. The beautiful thing about this album is it starts out nasty and just gets meaner. Tijuana Bible is Texas juke joint paradise." - Philip Van Vleck, Billboard Magazine

Veterans Day Pictures, Images and Photos

Wishing
Everyone a Fantastic Week ahead and remember Buckaroos, without the Men
and Women who are serving today and in the past...We wouldn't be able
to enjoy what we have today!  The Marine Corps Birthday is Tuesday the
10th of November with Veterans Day Wednesday the 11th...Take the Time
to reach out and thank the Older Vets for their Service, could be your
Dad, your Mother or just a someone on a park bench...Really, Thank them
cause they are the Freedom Fighters, Hell; take them to Lunch or go buy
them a Drink...the ones who wear the uniform today need all our Love
and support, they are our Children doing the deeds of the Power at
Hand!...Freedom isn't Free my Dear Friends...Not at all!

Thanks for "bones" and "chaos" last night.  I thought "Years of Tears" sounded pretty good acoustic, too.  Keep the pedals to the metal.

Wow Jim I didn't even know you were gonna be at Hole in the Wall tonight. Oct. 10 I was so glad I decided to go there after work when I got off at 12am. You and Kouichi were really jammin. I'll be back when you play on the 23rd to hear you jam again. I can't wait. Hope people reading this go there before they stop having blues which happens at the end of this month. Damn I'm bummed out about it because it's right up the street from where I work. Blue cat blues closed, Deep Ellum Blues closed, damn man what's gonna be left. O well I'll find the blues where ever it is. The blues will never die.  Keep it going man.
