Sharp Tooth Benny consists of former Sizzle front man, Mike Mac Mc Laury, belting out lead vocals and grooving on rhythm guitar, Theres also fellow songwriter, Terry Phat B Sheppard, previously of Dr. Joy, who provides some truly solid bass lines while filling out the vocal harmonies. Well versed former Saints We Aint axe-slinger, Little Man Tate Sanderson wails on lead guitar, and talented newcomer Noah Boom Boom Bloom keeps things moving on drums/percussion. Special guest appearances are also made on a couple tunes by the incredible, Tim The Teacher Fennel of Motus on lead guitar. Mike, Terry and Noah provide a rocking musical foundation to stand on while Tate & Tim fill the grooves with some tasteful yet smoking leads. These guys love to have fun and while the band is primarily blues based, the live-shows exhibit an unusual amount of energy and crowds are often treated to a bit of improv and some wackiness.
