BANDS |
Walter Trout is one of the finest blues-rock guitarists in the world. He has played with some of the greatest names in blues including John Lee Hooker, Canned Heat & John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers. |
|
Michael Katon is known as the boogie man from Hell...he actually lives in a place called Hell, which is somewhere in Michigan. The late great Cub Koda ( former member of Brownsville Station) said it best "his sound is raw, mean and spirited, combining lowdown blues and boogie with the amped-up approach of the highest energy rock 'n' roll band. |
|
|
Jude Bowerman is one of the hottest guitar players in the Pacific Northwest. "Jude's live performances are high energy and uplifting, with non-stop infectious grooves punctuated by a distinctly original tone and firey guitar playing." |
|
|
Another awesome band from the Pacific Northwest. "Bump Kitchen combines blues and old school funk influences with a heavy guitar sound." |
|
|
"The Witch Doctors dispense way strong mojo, ritualistic barroom
blues healing. This Detroit area band sets the energy level on blast,
featuring only the best in dirty music with a back beat. Specializing
in bone crushing blues shuffles with an edge that will reach out
and grab your audio g-spot with the vice grips of soul."

|
|
"The Yanks are one of Portland, Oregon's hardest
working up and coming bands. The band is led by a
three-guitar attack that makes the music sing and
sting, while driving audiences into a jubilant frenzy.
This band can lay it on skillfully as they preform
classic Blues-Rock standards but have all the power to
bring incredible originals into the mix." |
