When people say, “Memphis blues ain’t what it used to be,” they haven’t heard the Daddy Mack Blues Band. All of its members at one time or another played in the Fieldstones, one of the most talked-about urban blues bands since the 1970s. Led by Mack Off on lead guitar and vocals, this four-piece group is own- home and funky and the best band around for cuttin’ loose on a Saturday night. Their raw approach to blues is something too often missing in contemporary blues. In 1998-1999, they were the house band at the Center For Southern Folklore on Beale Street, where thousands of tourists from all comers of the world have experienced their natural and soulful musical blend. Howard Stovall, executive director of The Blues Foundation, was a special guest at the 1999 CD release of Fix It When I Can and isn’t shy about expressing who he thinks is carrying the torch in Memphis blues. At a Foundation party in April of 1999, Rolling Stones Keith Richards and Ron Wood sat in with the band and, as the story goes, they were able to keep up musically, but no one was shouting to hear “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” either.
From barbecue dives in Mississippi to Paris, France, Daddy Mack has been there done that. He isn’t too shy to play a party for a gathering of governors from all across the United States or to walk right into the middle of a crowd with his wireless and play guitar licks while his sweat drips right onto the shoes of hollerin’ blues fans. Daddy Mack is not only doing his part to keep the blues alive for the 21st Century, he’s not compromising what he thinks blues is supposed to be – fun, and with the right balance of showmanship and good music.
Mack and the band all have ties to the great Memphis blues combo, the Fieldstones - all were members of the band during the early 1990s. When the Fieldstones finally broke up in 1994, they continued performing together as the house band at the legendary Greens Lounge. Since then, the band has been cranking out their infectious grooves around Memphis all the way to The Millenium Dome in London. Individually, the members of the group have deep roots in Memphis music tradition. Brothers James and Harold Bonner form the nucleus of the band, having performed together for over thirty years. Born and raised in Memphis, the Bonners grew up immersed in the citys R&B and blues sounds. The band never met a stranger so take a little and contact us and check out the groove.
