The Blind Ducks is one of the hottest, hard-hitting blues bands to hit the Memphis scene in a while. The band is making a name for itself and is developing a solid reputation among the Bluff City's blues lovers. Influenced by such great blues performers as Albert King, Buddy Guy, Jimi Hendrix, Etta James, Susan Tedeschi, and Marcia Ball, The Blind Ducks generate a contemporary blues sound while maintaining respect for the old masters. They have the ability to reach into the very souls of their listeners with such hits as "At Last" and then, moments later, deliver the gritty, pulsing sound of "Standin' on Shaky Ground" prompting even the most reserved listener to leap to the dance floor. The Blind Ducks have a range that satisfies even the most demanding blues lovers' tastes.
A quartet of seasoned musicians, The Blind Ducks pay tribute to previous blues masters while injecting their own signature sound into the music. With a wide selection of tunes that include Memphis and Mississippi Delta blues, Chicago style blues, Austin/Texas blues, and even New Orleans style blues they have the flexibility to provide a unique experience at any given performance, guaranteeing the listener to hear something they truly love.
The Blind Ducks have arrived on the Memphis music scene as a force to be reckoned with. They plan to begin work on their first CD in the spring and will be participating in the IBC Blues Competition (among others). The Blind Ducks are here to provide their own distinctive approach to the blues that will foster an appreciation and enjoyment for the blues in music lovers young and old.

Come to think of it, you're probably wondering where we have played. Not a bad question, in fact, I'd ask it, too. We've played at various places around town, including Kudzu's downtown and RJ's Restaurant and Sports Bar in Munford, TN. We have played The Stage Stop near Raleigh, and TNT Sports Grill in Southaven. We've hit the stage at The Bel Air Club, and even had a lot of fun at The Rally Point on Highland Street! And on March 1st, we get to play where few other blues bands get to go! We'll be at Super Chikan's Place in Clarksdale, MS - the very birthplace of the blues! Every place we have played has asked us back for more, and we're starting to play in places that realize that we are NOT your typical blues band! We can rock a place better than some rock bands, yet still never waver from our blues roots.
We're always looking for new venues to play in, so if you have an idea for us, let us know! Otherwise, suggest us to your local hangout, and let them know they can contact us through this page or at our web site at The Blind Ducks Web Site .
Remember! We play hard-hitting, kick-a**
