PHOENIX MUSIC POLL - Best Blues/R&B Act Category).

Saturday, February 25th, 2012 - Caboodle Band - 9pm to 1am
That's Caboodle without the "kit", these guys have a unique sound with funky jams mixed with familiar classic rock music. Caboodle was born when two aging musicians, Dug and Slim were voted out of the band they were in. The end result is that Caboodle is just unhinged enough to play some jammin' funkin' groovin' rock and roll tunes, and oddly enough, their combined over 100 years experience playing in bands pays off as they actually sound pretty good and conduct a pretty good party. Check out their website online!!

Friday, March 2nd, 2012 - The Johnny Press Mess - 9pm to 1am
Tom Werman, who produced Jeff Beck & Ted Nugent once said "If I could play guitar like anybody, it would be like John Press." John has many influences. He'll tell you that anybody he's ever seen play has influenced him one way or another. Its more like a buffet full of styles that he picks to fit the songs. John is using Fender Guitars and amps, at the moment and Fulltone & Boss effects. Come down and check out The Johnny Press Experience! Check out their Website!

Saturday, March 10th, 2012 - The Billy Pilgrim Band - 9pm to 1am
Billy Pilgrim is quite possibly the most talented musician in New England. Few have come close to matching his energetic stage presence, eight octave vocal range, and virtuosity on so many instruments. Then there's my backing band, which includes Doug Gagnon, Dan Galup, Ned Peabody, and Brandt Taylor, a few veterans of the local roots rock and blues scene. Our collective goal is to take you on a unique musical journey, as well as make you laugh and stroke my huge ego! We hope our collective mental illness provides the foundation for a great show, a show you won't forget for a long time! Either that or a memory that will take several years of therapy to come to terms with. Come out to a show sometime soon and decide for yourself. –Billy Check them out on Myspace!
Friday, March 16th, 2012 - Madison Avenue - 9pm to 1am
