We are a blues/rock band with a touch of funk and an eclectic mix of melodies and dynamics that sooth the soul. Our 10 song cd is a mix of songs that promises to get your toes tappin!Ginger the lead singer was born in Alabama and raised in Louisiana, she grew up on the roots of Blues and Jazz...spilling into the Jackson Square at all hours of the night...this made for some real colorful dreams. She is also related to Eddie Arnold of the Grand Ole Opry fame. One of the godfathers of country music and the country radio programs back in the day.My partner in crime, Kelvin Porter grew up in Chicago...we met in 94 and started the band in 98. His father produced one of Chicago's albums..We wrote, arranged, and produce our first album, "Blues Express" all by ourselves! We have a ten song cd available for ten bucks! You can also go to www.charityentertainment.com and pick up a copy of our compilation cd "Discovery" of which we will be on. Charity Entertainment has picked up Back Alley with a distribution deal nationwide.We do original tunes and some oldie but goodie covers. We make everything over in "our" style of blues which seems to be something everyone enjoys. If you are looking for that new sound and want a great band to go see check us out! You won't be disappointed.Kelvin and I have a unique bond that allows us to be creative together and write some beautilful melodies, this is a dynamic that truly works well together. Also, we are working with CBS, blogsafety.com, and MYSPACE to make parents and teens aware of online predators. If you would like to be a part of our group "Artists with a Conscience" to help get rid of this online problem email me for details. We are asking the MYSPACE friends and community to help out with this problem. This way we can assure a safe way to promote our art and be able to reach the masses.Each week I try to give my bands on my friends page a little exposure as a way of thanking them for helping with our group, so check every week, there will be eight new bands featured in my top 8. All the bands on my friends pages are part of our group "Artists with a Conscience" (see the blog) and are a really great group of people. I love promoting other bands along with ours because we all deserve a little recognition.
