We are Wisconsin's blues, funk, classic rock band. We cover many songs by various diverse artists like Steely Dan, Maceo Parker, Chicago, and many more! We also have a repertoire of original music. We also pride ourselves on our ability to improvise, or spontaneously compose, songs about nearly any subject.
Join us every thursday night at Bad Brad's in Janesville for the Thursday Sweet Ass Jam Session 8:30pm-12:30am. We always welcome musicians and audience members.
The next 12 days will crawl by for sure. The countdown to Fins is on and taking FOREVER! Mango Margueritas, stone baked za, mmmmmmmmmmmm crab cakes............AND THE BLUE OLIVES. All under the sun. Life doesn't get much better than sunshine, good music, good friends and a Sunday on the patio! Can you tell I am looking forward to it?
Damn you guys really know how to bring that dirty funky shit! I love how your guitarist actually uses soul compared to half of the fuckheads out there. We'd love to play some shows with you guys.
Just wanted to share a little sumpin, sumpin wit ya that ya might dig. Especially since seeing you guys at Cheeseburger in Paradise 4 years ago was our first official date!
Thanks for being my wingmen (and winglady!!)
And BIG congrats on the MAMA Nomination!!! Bring it on home!
I really needed something to make me smile today so I came to the Blue Olives page to hear a song. Instead I got a video from the jam and may I just say....Thank you.
Okay,BEST quote ever for my place in life with the likes of you .
Kevin (Bacon): So YOU'RE the stalker ...
Jack: "I prefer the term "Professional Crazed fan."
How great is that? Sorry to quote Will and Grace, but that's a moment of brilliance there!
Monique told me years ago ... if I don't carry your hair or blood in a vial around my neck, I'm not ready to be charged. Rock on ... I just have you in my tat! That doesn't count ....
