The Tablerockers are influenced by a variety of musical styles that include Delta blues, Chicago and Texas blues, R & B, soul, rock-a-billy, jazz, funk, rock 'n' roll and even country, all filtered through the Tablerockers' blues sensibilities. The result is a high-powered blues attack featuring the smokin' guitar and soulful vocals of Baby Jason Davis, and the tight grooves provided by Larry Boehmer on bass and David Watson on drums.
Guitarist and vocalist, Baby Jason, toured for 10 years with his trio, "Baby Jason and the Spankers". During that period, they played some of the top blues venues in the country, including Buddy Guy's Legends, Antones, the Grand Emporium, the Zoo Bar, and Blues On Grand. Jason has fronted the Tablerockers since 2002 and recently has added acting to his many talents. He also has the sole distinction of having played the South Loup River Blues Festival for 14 consecutive years, the last 7 with the Tablerockers.
Drummer David Watson was born and raised in Dallas where he learned to shuffle from two of the best...his uncle Doyle Bramhall and the late Freddie Walden. David played with Keith Ferguson and Mr. Conrad in the Excellos and was also Anson Funderburgh's first drummer. David brings over 30 years of playing experience to the Tablerockers.
Former owner of the Zoo Bar, bassist Larry Boehmer played with the "Nebraska" Tablerockers from 1981-1991, and was also a member of The Heartmurmurs, Not All There and Bobby Lowell and the Rocka-Boogie-Boys. Larry had the honor of playing bass with Charlie Musselwhite, Snooky Pryor, Carey Bell, Joe Houston, Larry Davis, and Magic Slim prior to his move to Arkansas.
Over the last few years the Tablerockers have performed as a trio in clubs and festivals around the Midwest and Midsouth. They have also, on occasion, served as the backup band for James Harman, Magic Slim, Jimmy Thackery, Earl Cate, Madison Slim, RJ Mischo and Lewis Cowdrey. The Tablerockers currently have upcoming shows with both Harman and Mischo. Whether you see them by themselves or with one of their better-known blues friends, they'll rock your socks off.
Thanks for the add! I saw ya'll on my friends site, Bad Ass bass player Mark Dalton! I'm on the road, headed to Nashville, TN. Won't be there for a while, taking my time, with a lot of stops in between. But when I hit the south I'll be sure to look you up. You guys sound great!
