Maggie Blue takes Nawlins funk and fuses it will southern rock and psychedlic rock influences and the result is a danceable jam party. Judd Gravelle on bass, Brian Dodds ..s and Hammond Organ, Chris Givens on sax and vocals, Kevin Miller on screamin Les Paul Lead guitar, Neil Holcomb on guitar/vocals and Andy Armstrong keepin the beat. We play the music we love from the 60s and 70s mostly. Blues oriented stuff with a funky side (take the talkbox solo on Frampton or the Q Tron on Fire/Scarlet and Use Me) Stevie Wonder, Billy Cobham, etc..
Maggie Blue has built our set list of jam-orineted covers and is now focusing on originals, so watch this space.
