About Me

Playing blues most of the time these days. Every once in a while I'll grab some friends and ask them to meet me at a club with their instruments. We'll play some classic and original blues. I call that band the I.C. Waters Band........................................................ ....................................I also play in a band called Truckbody Jones. The Jones does mostly originals with some classic covers sprinkled in. Although we don't play often, there is tightness in amongst the madness. I would also be remiss if I didn't warn you about the The Truckbody Jones fanbase. I wouldn't call it a cult perse...but some of them have TBJ DNA in their homes.(Nuff said I hope)....................................................... ....................................Also, I sit in with the Underachievers from time to time. This is a band of extremely talented miscreants that have managed to stay under the radar for decades. Truly earning the moniker "The Underachievers." There's no telling what those guys might try to play so that's fun for me.......................................................... ....................................I will occasionally go out and play some solo blues as well. If you get a chance to see that you should - I think just watching me squirm might be very entertaining...
