Biography
Guitarist/Vocalist Kevin Sutton from St. Louis, Missouri, drummer Rick Jacobson, and bassist Keith Bakke, both from the Seattle Area, have a combined 50+ years of professional experience. It is obvious that they love what they do. Expect the unexpected! This band goes from a comfortable quiet whisper to in your face and loud and proud!
When I say high-energy I mean HIGH-ENERGY. The band isn't just a band, they put on a tireless show. WIRED! is there to provide entertainment and they take their job seriously. Careful! or the guitar player may just end up on your table. Watch out! or the drummer may be taking a solo, not just any drum solo, but up on the bar drum solos on your glass of beer.
And what better dance music than rockabilly and '50s rock 'n' roll. This music swings and if you like to dance there is nothing better. But blues, rockabilly, and the rock 'n' roll music it helped create, are really about partying your blues away. The WIRED! Rockabilly Blues Band plays a wide variety of grooves from the very beginnings of rock 'n' roll that are guaranteed to get you up off of your seat and dancing. From early Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Gene Vincent and Muddy Waters through the Stray Cats and Robert Gordon the groove keeps pumping and the energy never quits. Include in the mix a good dose of songs penned by the band and you've got a sure recipe for fun!
