Bio
If you’re looking for down home, old school, no-nonsense, house-rocking, kickass electric blues, you’ve come to the right place. Audiences turn out for Juke Joint 5 shows because they value our high energy music and our dedication to the roots of the blues: the vocal feel and guitar mastery of the Mississippi Delta and Chicago’s Golden Age; the raw horn-driven urban jump bands of the 1940's-50's; the ecstatic irreverence of early rock and roll with a dash of rockabilly twang; and the soulful sounds of Stax and Muscle Shoals.
It is a different kind of blues band. In fact, the comment we hear most is “I like you guys…you play songs other blues bands aren’t doing, songs I haven’t heard before.” We’ll take you back to a time when “the blues” meant just this kind of high-energy music rooted in many different influences, and when the highest compliment was “It’s got a good beat and you can dance to it.”
The members of the Juke Joint 5 are: Jason Adams (bass); Gretchen Bostrom (vocals); Dick “The Poet” Lourie (sax); Silvertone Steve (guitar); Noah Teshu (drums).
