This powerhouse blues-rock group is led by Rick Fowler, whose guitar work and songwriting are a blend of blues, rock and music that will reach into the depths of your soul, you almost fall over listening to them. Alongside him are local legends in their own right: Michael Doke on guitar, Greg Veale on bass, Tim White on Hammond organ, and Deane Quinter on drums.

These guys don’t just play music — they live it. They’ve backed icons like Beverly “Guitar” Watkins, played with members of R.E.M., Widespread Panic, Drivin’ n’ Cryin’, Tinsley Ellis, T Graham Brown.
