Shop the SBS store - lotsa good swag, including this Back in Business! CD, a 16-track CD produced by Mindy Giles and the SBS Events Committee!
 "Here's Back in Business!,” featuring 16 of their member bands. You may not have heard of any of them unless you’re out west. But you will. Across the tracks they capture the

country pickin Catfish & The Crawdaddies; from Blind Lemon Peel’s full-throttled theatrics to Val Starr’s Blues Rockets get-on-up jam with Victor Wainwright on keys; from James Monroe’s classic rockin’ blues harp to young Kyle Bowland’s Chicago, swamp Texas blues with his pinch- drip harp of West Coast swing – it’s all there." |
