Killer seafood, cold ass beer, and hot blues! There is no cover charge for any of the 3 shows. Hope to see you out there! Let the celebration begin!!!!!!!!
Awesome! Congratulations! I'd love to make it to one of the shows, but I'm under the gun to finish moving into a new house by the end of the month... so much to do and no time to even practice guitar... yearrgh! I'll look for you guys next time around.
Congrats! I've never really considered myself much of a blues guy, but those tracks are INFECTIOUS. I could literally listen all day, although, for some reason, they make me really thirsty for an adult beverage (or 10.....). But seriously, really nice work. Is that your new drummer? I saw your ad looking for someone on Craigslist a while back. Guy has some nice left handed action going on during those shuffles. He doesn't fake it (like I do).
Ima...drummer is Carl Owens. He's played with us off and on over the years and decided to be our fulltime guy after we didn't get much response from the ads. He is first rate!

Juke is a popular style of dance here in Chicago, and your band's name reminded me of the song posted above. To watch the dance, click here.
