Straightup Blues Band
Straightup Blues Band
"The Blues" is in the heart and soul of the individual. Everyone hears and feels "The Blues" in a different way. We believe the "Blues" feeling is simply your inner-self telling you that there needs to be change in your life. The task of the "Bluesman" is to find the musical key that unlocks those feelings and prompts you to make positive changes. The "Straightup Blues Band" has found the key...........Honest, Straight from the Heart "Blues". We have been writing, playing and living the "Blues" as a group since 1998. We perform well together because we are all co-workers and good friends. We survive as a group because we work as a team. Each member contributes to the music and our goal of reaching audiences with a big dose of down-home Florida "BLUES"
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We gig about Twice a month at a venue in St. Petersburg, Fl called Biff Burgers. Love It! Hours are 7:30 to 10:30 Friday and Saturday night. Good deal for a old man like me.
Your musical influences
All the blues players from Robert Johnson to Shemeika Copeland.
