The Blues Cats, from Burbank, California are three guys with a deep appreciation for the blues. Their first song together, "Track No. 9" has been well received in different internet circles, as well as MP3.com, Garageband.com, and right here on Soundclick. Stay tuned, more tunes are on their way!
Why this name?
The Blues Cats, sounds cool doesn't it?
Do you play live?
Right now, it's just studio work to get our music out here. But maybe when we get a full book of tunes, we'll tour!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It really enables guys like us to get our music heard by thousands. Without the internet, it would be almost impossible to find the time aside from making a living to be able to promote a band.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Sure, if they begged us enough!
Band History:
Daniel Waite and George "The G-Man" Irwin became neighbors, and good friends many years ago. They soon discovered that they both had a penchant for blues music. George, a master of the ivories and Daniel a long time guitarist soon began jamming together. At the time George's young son Ian would usually hang around grooving to the tunes. George expanded his talents by learning to play blues harp. Ian who is now grown and following in his father's footsteps, has been playing for several years himself. Having mastered the blues and now taking on Jazz, Ian is definitely a natural not only on piano, but also harmonica, bass, guitar and drums. And oh yeah, did I mention he's also an ace at musical engineering! Now sixteen, Ian, his Dad George, and Neighbor Dan have formed The Blues Cats...a rocking blues band designed as an outlet for their pent-up blues frustrations.
