Jimmy Steffan grew up playing rock and roll in Central Missouri back in the late Sixties and Seventies. He started tuning in to the blues music scene in the mid-1980s. Jimmy played in Park Place's "Blues Night Band", in "The Benders", and in "Parkinglot Slim's All-Stars". (He even paid some dues as "The Belairs" fourth-string soundman!) Steffan went on to own and operate a Columbia MO recording studio, "The Wildlife Room", where, in addition to recording Nighthawks' front man Mark Wenner's "Mama Tried" record, he cut many tracks of original blues and roots music.
Tim Shields entered the Mid-Mo music scene as the bass guitarist for the legendary Jolly Brothers Band ('76-'79)When they disbanded he joined the KC Blues Band who shared the stage with many blues legends like Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker and the Fabulous Thunderbirds. In the early '90s he joined Camp/Harlow with former members of the Jolly Brothers and Jimmy Harlow and Greg Camp. Tim returned to the Mid-Mo blues scene in '06 after a friend invited him to a MO Blues jam. Tim is known for his legendary, smooth bass style and his ever-smilin', warm personality.
