have been playing and performing in different bands for a combined 60
plus years.Yep,They're dinosaurs-but they can still groove.As time has
passed the boys have been attracted to and influenced by almost every
genre you can name;from Muddy Waters to John Mayer . I suppose it is accurate
to say 2blu has come back to ground zero-that is "the blues"
and blues influenced grooves.
Who are the"LUCKY STIFFS";that's what the band calls the addition of Jack Dudley on bass,James Dudley on the drums,and Dave"teeto "Gowens on percussion.
When they play as a duo :it's 2BLU
