They have been tearing down houses and playing to capacity crowds, bringing everyone a great time. They headlined at the prestigious B.B. King’s Blues Club at Universal City. They opened for Alligator Records artist, Tommy Castro at Brixton Southbay and knocked out both the capacity crowd and club staff.  They have been playing the southern California festival circuit including the Julian Blues Bash, The Irvine Lake Blues Festival and many others.
Based in the Los Angeles area the band consists of Michael Richard songwriter, guitar and vocals; Patrick Gilliam on bass guitar; Alex Schwartz on drums; and Greg Krueger on guitar, mandolin and dobro.  Alternate guitar, mandolin, and lap steel Joe Bull.
