Literal Meat, Metaphorical Potatoes, by Paul Constant
The invitation e-mail was refreshingly straightforward: "Ian is having his birthday. Why should you come? No fancy tricks. Just great music, kegs of beer, and happy fun people...."
...The music is courtesy of the Otis Johnson Band, a group that plays meat-and-potatoes rock and roll that's so classic it sounds fresh all over again.
Vocalist Scott Peters joins the band with a fiddler and they make a hellacious, bluegrass-tinged racket that gets people dancing like mad. The keg is blown before midnight, and everyone is sweaty, full, and smiling. What more could you ask from a birthday party?

Bio
Otis, Stu, and Longmoon are half-brothers, the sons of Phineas Johnson. They've been playing music together (in one form or another) for over ten years, and have found that they're happiest when playing old school country, folk, blues, and rock and roll.
Otis is the leader and is most responsible for getting the band into trouble. Lucky for him, he can usually sing his way out of it.
Stu is the good natured one, everyone's friend. Loyal to the end, Stu would go through heck and back to help you out.
Longmoon is quiet and reserved, not too outgoing...except when he's at his drums. And then he'll go all night, if they let him.
