About Me |
|
| It's a powerhouse combo that plays roots music with a freshness that's hard to match.
They formed as a band while on the road in Sturgis South Dakota for the Motorcycle Rally and have been blasting out traditional Texas/House Rockin Blues while zig-zagging the U.S. for the two years since.
Now featuring Tex "Weeping Willow"Nakamura (formerly of WAR) on harmonica and percussion, their octane just went up another notch.L.A. WEEKLY JULY 2006
