Playing together for the last five years, what Jr. III does is improvisational in nature, creating a blues-driven North Louisiana sound with literate, poetic lyrics.
Junior The Third is Curtis Joseph, Jr. on drums, Weldon Stutes, Jr. on upright bass and Stanton Dossett III on guitar and vocals.
Curtis is a native Shreveporter who played, recorded and toured with a New Orleanian jazz quartet called Idletime for a couple of years before moving back to Shreveport to start a family. He brings a strong jazz influence to the music of Jr. III.
Weldon was a part of the Austin music scene before moving to Marshall, TX with his wife and kids. He’s a classically trained bassist who also recorded and toured with bands playing everything from Texas swing to Sex Pistols covers.
Stanton, also a native Shreveporter, played old acoustic solo blues for 20 years while also studying and then making poetry and experimental theater pieces.
"Trippy blues with expert foot and stick by Joseph."--Dirk Gonzo Miller
"Led Zeppelin meets Duke Ellington with a voice that is all of the blues of our time."-- John Fox
