As the name implies, The Blues Evolution is about pushing the boundaries of what we have come to think of as the blues. The challenge for the group has been to meld their varied musical influences into an original sound, which is broad in its scope while retaining those elements that are the heart and soul of the blues. Quinn and True have developed a style that is unique yet familiar, sophisticated but listenable, and very very cool.
