Band Members: John Pundt: guitar, vocals, harmonica. A veteran musician and radio personality brings a vintage feel to the music. With a knowledge of music history and musicians that is unparalleled, but John’s knowledge doesn’t stop at any one era, it begins at the early days of rock, at its blues foundations, and extends to the new and the now of the industry.Tony Calandrino: Drums, vocals. First played a drum set at the age of five. His work has been described as “tremendously adequate†and “pffff, I could do that.†But few could make what sounds so simple be as emotional and accessible as T.C. can. He likes to quote what Snooky Pryer told him after a jam session early in his carrier, “Lots of drummers have lots of fancy stuff, but if you hit’m hard and on time people will pay you.â€Darren Sherley: Bass, just Bass. Steady studied and full of ‘Big Sherley’s’ own personality. Every musician wants to play with him. He knows his instrument…he knows your instrument. With some of the best ears in the business he knows what the music should sound like and he expects the band to play at a high and professional level.Francisco ‘Poncho’ Castillo: guitar, vocals. You run into them maybe two or three times in your life, a wild natural talent that generates awe and envy whenever they play. An initial education in the Flamenco style of guitar, Poncho discovered the blues early on. Something of a purest Poncho blends many disciplines of guitar into a flawless and at times manic style.Alex Metcalf is a great asset to Blues Fusse. He writes, sing, produce, play sax, and keyboards. He has played styles ranging from HipHop to Gospel, Jazz and Funk and a little bit of beat box as well.
