By Chris Hislop Portsmouth HeraldGiven the skills this Concord-based group possesses on stage and on recorded demos, the band certainly has the foundation to make of their career whatever they'd like. It will take a lot of time, effort and determination, but the blues-rock Young and his mates are twanging away at a very fresh approach to one of the oldest genres in American music.Contemporary Blues is a scene that has some bright spots, but quite often bands are missing the mark, writing very cheesy lyrics, and forgetting about the roots of the music. Such is not the case in this young (no pun intended) band. The group, along with Brooks Young (guitar, vocals), includes Blake Wayman (drums), The Mighty Jr., (harmonica), Carleton Page (guitar), Josh Potter (bass), and Tom C (guitar). Their demo tracks suggest that they are influenced by a bunch of artists. Along with B.B. King (for whom the band opened at the Capital Center for the Arts in Concord), there are hints of Eric Clapton, James Cotton's harp playing prowess, John Mayall, John Mayer, and a bit of Mick Jagger thrown in for good measure.
Sounds Like: John Mayer, Eric Clapton, BB King
