The Band

Jim Wisniewski
Jim handles guitar, vocals, and songwriting for the band. Among his main musical influences are John Lee Hooker, Chester Burnett, and Brint Anderson.

Bob Porter
Bob has been singing and playing guitar for over 20 years. He has loved the blues ever since he heard "The Best of Jimmy Reed" in the 8 track car stereo of his father's pink Cadillac when he was a child.

Dale Boschke
Dale provides the bluesy “harp” accompaniment that drives the down home sound required by a blues combo. His first harmonica was given to him by his wife as a gag gift about 20 years ago..she now wishes it was a pair of argyle socks, which would have been worn out and forgotten. Musical favorites include Springsteen, Clapton & Mellencamp. Local favorites are Jim Liban & Steve Cohen.

Jim Richards
Jim joined the band at the end of 2007. He's been playing drums since he was 13 years old. His interest shifted from hard rock to blues after seeing The Blues Brothers on Saturday Night Live. In 1997, Jim joined Big Johnson & The Thrusters, and continues to host blues jams with them.

Tom Steele
The newest member of the band, Tom has been laying it down on the bass for 20+ years. He first heard the blues in the late 60's: James Cotton Blues Band, John Mayall, Yardbirds, early Zepplin. He played the blues in clubs when the drinking age was 18! He's played Top 40, Disco, Rock, and Country.
