Bio
Neal Watkins hails from New York City and has years of experience playing hot lead guitar in clubs in the style of the blues rock greats.
Neal has a great passion for the delta blues and studies the history and style of the greats.
Neal plays in a style that pays tribute to the best of the original innovators of the Delta Blues such as: Robert Johnson, Skip James, Willie Brown, Son House, Charlie Patton and many others.
Randy Altis is a recent transplant from Northern California where he was influenced by a wide variety of music and played guitar in a acoustic folk and bluegrass band for eight years.
Since then harmonica has become his main instrument of choice.
Randy’s passion for harmonica music came after hearing Sonny Terry for the first time and then later was greatly inspired by Norton Buffalo’s amazing talent.
Since then artists like Walter Horton, Charlie Musselwhite, James Cotton, Rod Piazza, William Clark, Paul Delay and jazz greats Toots Thielemens, Tommy Morgan, Howard Levy and Larry Adler have all influenced his playing.
Both Neal and Randy are also huge jazz fans.
We strive for:
Guitar and vocals that produce a feast of varied tones and emotions, creating a tension and release that is cathartic and satisfying.
Harmonica playing filled with expression that paints an emotional backdrop to each song as gritty and authentic as a Mississippi juke joint.
