2025 marks 36 years together for this New York-based 3-piece rockin' blues band whose Stevie Ray Vaughan/Hendrix influences can be easily recognized. While the bands typical critically acclaimed "concert set" includes almost all original music plus a few songs which pay tribute to those who have inspired them ...at this concert, just 2 days after what would have been his 71st birthday, the audience will be treated to a selection of Stevie Ray Vaughan tunes presented in an authentic and passionate way, as only a true SRV-disciple like Phil Varca could do.
