Imperial Crowns

Preachin' the Blues

About Me


The music of Imperial Crowns is gonna make you wanna do SOMETHING LIBERATING! Most likely, you won't wanna go rob a liquor store after hearing (and hopefully witnessing) these hard working souls, but ya never know, either way you'll be left with an impression that's gonna stay with ya for a good long time. These days, there are those who feel The Blues should be kept "pure"... locked up in a museum, and worshipped. Well, Imperial Crowns say KISS MY ASS to that! Preachin' the blues everywhere they go, pimpin' the blues like a lowdown 'ho!!! ************************************************************ ******** ************************************************************ ******** Here's the short list of some of the heavyweights these cats have played with over the years in their own careers, either in the studio or in the touring bands: Greg Allman, Sam Moore, Bruce Springsteen, Gladys Knight, Bob Dylan, Mick Taylor, PIL, Beck, Mike Ness, Megadeath, Andy Summers, Andre Heller, Taj Mahal, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Cheap Trick, Jean Luc Ponty, Freddie Hubbard, Billy Preston, Bruce Hornsby, Ofra Haza, Chuck E.
