| The Back Alley Blues Band was originally formed in November, 1996 by Franc Robert (Guitar/Vocals), and Smokin Joe Sadowski (Harp/vocals). The band started out playing true hard core Chicago Blues (think Muddy Waters, Junior Wells, Little Walter, Buddy Guy, and many others), mixed with the best of the Texas/Louisiana style (think T-Bone Walker, Slim Harpo, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, SRV, and more). After going through numerous rhythm section members over the years, the band found Don Cox (bass) and David Simmons (drums) in May, 2002 and has been in this form ever since. The resulting combination has been creating an exciting, danceable brand of blues that has won over blues fans and bar patrons all over Pasco and Pinellas Counties, in the great state of Florida. In August of 2004, we released our first CD (right in the middle of Hurricane Charley!) and have started playing more festivals and large events. The new CD, Boxcar Tourists, was released in February of this year-check out the sounds on the samples page!! |
