BIG PAPA & THE TCB

200 POUNDS OF TROUBLE AND A SIX-PACK OF COOL!

About Me

BIG PAPA & THE TCB was born in the back alleys and seedy after hours parties at the juke joints. It's the place you go after a long day of work, to escape your old lady, or to find yourself a new one. The hang the real players go to after their gigs to play the music they don't allow in the mainstream. It's the rough part of town, where the bad folk live. It's your inner child finally kicking that bully's ass. Takin' Care of Bizness, pure and simple. Leading this rag-tag bunch of ruffians is “Big Papa T,” working the mic and cuttin’ heads on the six string. Layin’ down the low stuff is “The Ice Cream Man” on bass. Fingerin’ the ebonies and bangin‘ the ivories is “Dr. Q.” And introducing “Mr. Pittz,” holdin’ it all together on the skins. And special guests are almost always a sure thing. BIG PAPA & THE TCB is the music you hear echoing off the brick walls of the alley as two tough guys begin acquainting your knee caps with "Mr. Lead Pipe."
