Paul Quarrington, Martin Worthy, Chas Elliott, Stuart Laughton (founding members); Rebecca Campbell, Teddy Leonard (associates.)
Influences
Paul Butterfield, The Band, Van Morrison, Townes van Zandt, Sibelius, Hall and Oates, Jesse di Natale, The Meters, The Funky Meters, The Original Meters,Vaughn Meader, Tom Lehrer, Randy Newman, Amos Garrett, Sons of the Pioneers.
The founding members of the band first got together to play straightforward twelve-bar Chicago blues (they had all attended a particular Paul Butterfield concert as teenagers, although they didn't know each other at the time and didn't discover that fact until many years later) but soon began to write their own material, which is a little bit hard to describe. It's a little bit bluesy. It has some heavy country influences. There's also a lot of rhythm'n'blues, Motown, Stax, a combination that the boys (who have an inordinate fondness for gin-and-tonics) call "Red-Eyed Soul."
Hi. Cheers for the add. As I say, was great to see you live in Toronto last summer and hopefully see you again when we are next over. Take it easy. Gordon and Soup Spurtle
