Blud Bros
Faith Based Blues and more
Our sound is "Muddy Waters meets Little Feat.." add a touch of Stanley Clark funk, mix it all together with a classic rock feel, and you have hit it pretty closely..
The vocals are strong, sometimes throaty, sometimes soaring but always solid. The lyrics carry a message of hope and truth, based on the lives we experience and our understanding that God is real.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I have been performing since I was a child (age 8). I started playing in bands in my middle teen years, and have been performing fairly consistently during that entire period (and I am 50 now!) The rest of the band formed around me in multiple types of groupings including jam bands and worship teams, until last October of 2001 when we added Roscoe, our keyboard guy. In December we went into the studio and in May we released our first CD "Not What You Think!"
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Lots.. Prisons, churches, bars, festivals, benefits, biker rallies.. wherever God leads us.. There have been many special moments, like the time when old people in a very traditional church, actually got up and danced!
