Band Members: Almost as an "And Friends Band...We pull our members from a vast pool of great friends and family,to make the best music we can.The core members of the band are Wallace Wrede on Bass,Vocals and Guitar,Bob Vnencak on Drums,Skins, Congas,and any other Percussion you can think of, Charlie O on Vocals Guitars,harmonicas and good will,and last but not least, Dangerous Dave Emmons on Mandolin and Guitar...with appearences by Karl "KW" Wrede on Guitars !!! We feel that family and friends are the most important recipie for music. With some of our own children involved in the Arts,we feel it almost nessesary to involve them in our music..Our Bass Players son Karl,is an absolutly incredible Guitar Player and we have him along with us alot of the time.Also our singers son Kevin has some great abilities and loves to sing with us on occasion.We have many musical friends from diverse backgrounds,which gives us the ability to play everything from Blues and Boogie to Soulful Ballads,and a bit of the Swamp music too....All in all....We have a great time doing what we do.and that my friends is what its all about...Lagniappe (a little something extra thrown in...) There isnt much that we enjoy more,Than a little BBQ, some Green Label,a couple of Pabst Blue Ribbons,and a back porch filled with Friends , family and instruments...Its all good !!!
Influences: While there are way too many influences to list...We have been inspired by folks like Warren Haynes,Sonny Landreth,Duane Allman,Dickie Betts,Rory Gallagher,Many Jazz Greats like Karl Denson, Weather Report among others.. Bluegrass Greats... Also Chet Atkins, Many assorted Bluesmen from The Old masters who never gave a thought about labels or royalties.They just did it for the love of the music...To todays modern day Bluescats,like Gomes,Stoltz,Duarte,among others....American roots music inspires us as well..Woody Guthrie, David Bromberg, Railroad Earth,my bass player ,Wallace Wredes Father was an incredible American roots music, guitar player and writer...The list goes on and on....
Sounds Like: We like to think that we put our own spin on everything we do...You can hear a bit of each of the folks who have influenced us in the past...Either way your toe will be tapping
Record Label: unsigned But hopeful
