Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
We have been together for 7 years now. We recently recorded a new demo for club gigs, and are going to record some more of our originals. Our blues originals have gotten pretty good response.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We play throughout the Central Ohio area. I remember one night we were playing and we heard a bunch of commotion going on, and we looked and there was a 350 pound man who lookeed liked Santa Clause dancing on the table! The table held together and the waitress yelled at him and made him get down. We have seen a lot of wild things.
Your musical influences
Wilson Pickett, Stevie Ray Vaughn, BB King
Anyone with a good horn section.
What equipment do you use?
We like our Carvin PA stuff, but no specific brand. Wouldn't mind having a sponsor though.
