The Midnight Flyers

About Me

The Midnight Flyers have a style heavily rooted in the blues, ranging from slow to up tempo and rockin’. Their sound hints at George Thorogood, ZZ Top, and Robben Ford. Gritty vocals, attacking guitar riffs, and a solid, rhythmic groove give this three-piece the ability to please any audience.

The members of The Midnight Flyers have come together from a variety of other local bands to create a solid bond with a tight, well crafted sound. Their latest CD, titled “Out of the Blues” has been getting favorable reviews from local radio DJs, and has started making the rounds on internet radio shows such as The Road Rash Blues Show on Kansas City Online Radio. Its sales have reached such worldwide locations as France, Finland, Scotland, England, and Moscow to name a few.

Each track has been extensively road-tested, slowly evolving to the recorded versions found here. Their tight background vocals add a pleasing foundation to the mix.
