Little Memphis Blues Orchestra is the next generation of The Taylor Hicks Band. LMBO began as the brain-child of a close-knit group of talented artists that were staring into the face of significant changes to their five member group. Taylor Hicks, the band's lead singer, flew to Las Vegas and auditioned for American Idol in 2005 and by February 2006 he was easily one of the front-runners on the show. While Taylor and the other four members of the band remain committed to each other, as they say in Hollywood, the show must go on.
Fans of the foursome are now treated to a wide range of music that includes originals from all members of the group, as well as covers from the greats in the industry. Cover inspiration comes from noted bands and musicians such as The Meters, Booker T and the M G's, The Allman Brothers Band, Stevie Wonder, and Jimi Hendrix, just to name a few.
On any given day you will find LMBO members playing in hot spots throughout the southeast and currently expanding from coast to coast. Brian Less (piano,organ,vocals) draws his rock-a-billy blues style from his Memphis,TN roots. Sam Gunderson (guitar,vocals) hails from the DC area where he picked up his blues and rock riffs. On the bass Mitch Jones brings a solid backbone from years of touring from his Enterprise home in Alabama's deep south. Zippy (drums,percussion,vocals) combines his formal drum line training and years of touring experience, keeping true to his native north Alabama.
Together you have the Little Memphis Blues Orchestra. The best this business has offered up to music lovers in years. Check out their next show. There's not a chance you'll walk away without a smile on your face, and the date and time of your next chance to catch a glimpse of the real deal.
