Smokehouse Ramblers Blues Band
Foot Stompin' Butt Shakin' Rib Stickin' Good Time Acoustic Blues
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
In September 2004, three blues loving musicians, all busy and active in other area blues bands, decided to put together a very special side project. This band was to take the form of an acoustic-based, lighter-volume blues trio. The kind of band that you can listen to and enjoy while eating a fine meal and sharing dinner conversation with a few friends. The goal of the project was to provide quieter, soulful blues covers and original tunes to area restaurants, private parties and night clubs, while at the same time not forgetting the real reason for playing the blues which was just to have some fun.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We play live whenever we can. It's the main reason we formed the band.
