A mix of Blues coming from the genuine Chicago Blues tradition and Funk that gives you ants in your pants, the whole thing served by a steel groove feel, a black & blues voice drawn from Soul and original songs …
Match this to an unequally innovative rhythm section, provocative horns giving a touch of « made in Chicago » style, frenzy guitar solos, Boney’s oustanding talent of showman ….and you will soon realize that you have discovered a band who deserves to be
..... the number one!!!
