Re: For those who truly love the blues...
I have had the opportunity to see TUF play twice now. They are AMAZING live performers. Heck, my buddy Josh even jammed with them (with MY strat) the first time I saw them. The are unassuming, modest, friendly, and most importantly: honest.
Nick and Danielle (the lead guitarist and the bass player) are brother and sister and both southpaws. Their cousin, Kris , is the drummer. He is right-handed.
In 2008, this group, representing the KC Blues Society, won the International Blues Challenge in Memphis against HUNDREDS of other performers. In the process, Nick won the Albert King award for the most promising blues guitarist of 2008. This award netted him a brand new Gibson guitar and a badass Category 5 amp.
Interestingly, Danielle's husband is a guitarist for the KC Blues Society representative for the 2010 International Blues Challenge, Levee Town. Unfortunately, Levee Town did not win this year, nor did my buddies, the Topeka Blues Society winner, Josh Vowell & The Rumble, but everyone had a great time.
These guys are a must see...
That is my Strat in the hands of Josh Vowell. He is tearing it up with Danielle, Nick and Kris at Uncle Bo's her in Topeka. They kicked major ass!
