Workingman's Blues Band

About Me

The Workingman's Blues Band was formed in 2003 by a couple of guys that just wanted to jam a couple of tunes... With the addition of Sneaks in 2005 on drums we were finally able to progress with the music that we had written previously. Unfortunately our bass player left and the band was again at a standstill, until the addition of Matt G. on bass. Matt breathed a new fire into our musical inferno like a low-end bellows. In early 2007 we had a brief member, D.J., playing great soul style pedal steel with us. He provided a great take on our already established songs, but things come up and he had to go his own way... WBB performs locally, so check us out if you get a chance. -------------------------------------------
