Description
We are professionals. From the way we look on stage to the way we sound to the way we engage our audiences — we come to show on purpose.
Work Sample

This is a sample of the musicianship and showmanship range that we have mastered.
History
I’ve been playing the Blues since I was 4 years old (1968) nonstop. We are a contemporary Blues band, a power trio, who are sharp dressed and world traveled performing all origins works — successfully.
Artistic Vision
We want to turn people on to themselves through our music.
Programs for Specific Audience(s) Expertise
Not only am I a Bluesman, I’m a Blues educator on the campus of Columbia College Chicago. I’ve lectured across the world. Fortunately, through my travels, lecturing and playing are constantly reinforcing themselves.
Traditional Folk/Ethnic Artform Statement
I’d consider myself an ethnic artist based on the aforementioned choices. Blues is part of my personal family tradition and pedigree.
