Recorded on Rounder Records with The Spanic Boys and was nominated for a Grammy Award, he's made appearances on MTV, VH1, and Saturday Night Live. Simply put Dave Braun is brilliant, this is high-octane drumming. He holds down the back-bone to this bands groove, he plays Chicago shuffles, Texas Swing, Memphis Boogie and soul, Rock & Roll, Rock-a-Billy, Funk you name it. His approach is simple: let it all hang out!
I remember playing at Big Dogs House of Blues on the south side of Milwaukee every Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday. Charlie B. Might and I ran a blues jam three days a week, thats where I first met and played with some blues legends, Hubert Sumlin, Lee Gates, Milwaukee slim.... I always had my ears on and that is my biggest influence of all.

HIGH OCTANE MIX OF TIGHT GROOVES AND STINGING GUITAR. MELODIES THAT ARE AS HYPNOTIC AS THEY ARE UNFORGETTABLE!!!
~~~~Robert Allen Jr. is an extraordinary guitarist, a passionate singer and a powerhouse showman. "His booming pipes and presence will draw you in and never let you go." (Milwaukee Journal)
My family was full of talented blues/roots musicians. I first picked up a guitar at the age of five, and by my late teens I was touring nationally with bands. In 1997 my east coast travels with legendary Chicago bluesman Sam Lay (Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Paul Butterfield) led me to the blues master Jimmy Rogers. That same year I traveled to the Mississippi delta and visited the infamous crossroads. About a week later in south-side Chicago I found my Blondie. A 1980's Gibson/Epiphone ES-335 guitar. Blondie and I have been inseparable ever since. She's been with me in the Bluescasters, Zoot Suit Boogie, The Blue Rubies, 11 years of blues and peace, I love my Blondie. One critic said "...Haunting! This is real blues played as hard as it gets!"
~~~~I say it's SHOWTIME! This is professional entertainment. A dynamic show full of sweet blues, a super tight rhythm section, stinging guitar, incredible bass work, and energy that actually rockets from the stage!
sky is cryin'
