The best little band in Des Moines, VooDoo3 is an explosive power trio featuring hard driving blues with a touch of classic rock and some funk thrown in for good measure. Originally called the Larry Chambers Band after their late drummer, Larry Chambers, VooDoo3 plays on in his memory with Reggie Upshur on drums behind frontman and charismatic lead guitar player, CC Stewart, with the ever funkadelic ET - Ernie Terrell - on bass.
What makes the band unique is that they often play outside their element - and they do it well. With the ability to cover just about any song from Whitesnake to Johnny Cash, they're quite comfortable walking into any venue. "We're crowd pleasers," says frontman CC Stewart. "We're just now laying down some original tracks, but we look at our covers as artistry as well. I would say without a doubt, that VooDoo3 has a creative element in our sound. We listen to each other and play off of different moods and ideas. We might find several different ways to perform one song. Ernie may lay down a different feel, even if subtle, and Reggie will compliment that every time. It makes for magic."

The jam last night ( at The Maingate... E.30th and Grand.. across from the fairgrounds.. the ONLY place to be on ANY Sunday night...) was awesome. I enjoyed all my minutes, but I want to say a special thanks to you guys for letting me sit in on Brick House.
Thanks for the kind words. We enjoyed you guys as well. Check us out friday night at Shooter's Hideaway. I promise it won't be as hot in there as it was on the beach. -- Brian
