About Me

Armed with guitars, drums and guts, Sioux City Pete & The Beggars mutate the classic style of Mississippi Delta Blues into previously uncharted territory, stripping the music down to it’s raw soul and rebuilding it with volume-soaked armor plating; tipping their hat to legends like Charlie Patton and Elmore James while creating explosive, original rock and roll. The 14 tracks on Necro Blues go from hypnotic to psychotic, never straying too far from the spirit of the Delta. Likened by many to the Gun Club—albeit a much more bare-boned version—The Beggars channel the swampy heart of the blues and spawn a more intoxicating, blacker juju.
