The 44's:
It's a powerhouse quartet that plays roots music with a freshness that's hard to match.
They formed as a band while on the road in Sturgis South Dakota for the Motorcycle Rally and have been blasting out Gritty, Hard Hitting Blues while tearing apart the L.A./O.C. club scene.
Featuring Tex "Weeping Willow"Nakamura (formerly of WAR) on harmonica and percussion, their octane just went up another notch.
