Bios
You love to boogie. We love to play. So we can take it from acoustic country blues or turn it up for styles from Chicago to New Orleans and from west coast jump blues to the British invasion.
All of us are avid listeners of live music. There is something pure about seeing and hearing a few blokes lay it down live with all of the sweat and surprises. We will supply you with boogie so hot it makes you wanna jump for more and blues so fine it makes you wanna find the closest BBQ.
"They're all just laid-back, cool cats who love to play boogie and the blues ... lamenting, swinging, and jazzy tunes to form a living history of the blues." ~ Reno News & Review.
"... the most diverse and well-played body of blues that I've heard in a local band in a long, long time."
~ Todd 'Tavo' Mauldin, The Hellbusters
