Born in Staten Island New York, since spread out to New Jersey, Maryland and everywhere in between THE BLUES HOUNDSbring you the Blues with a Rock edge.
Formed in 1993, THE BLUES HOUNDS reunited life long friends SAL CURTO, GERRY STASZESKI, SCOTT POWERS and DONDI GRAY who all played in various bands together through out the 80's and early 90's. Aware that 3 guitar players was not necessary, GERRY STASZESKI put down the six string and took up bass for the band. The addition of KEVIN HOLMES completed the lineup, and THE BLUES HOUNDS were born.
Having all grown up together, THE BLUES HOUNDS are more of a family than anything else. THE BLUES HOUNDS are able ( and proud ) to boast that after almost fifteen years, the band has not had a single line up change.
Be sure to catch their next live performance at a club near you!!!
