This is not your father’s blues – it’s more like your grandfather’s…if your grandfather was a preacher in a Mississippi Baptist church.

What more can be said about “The Sensational Country Blues Wonders!”?? They are certainly not your “run of the mill” group. For starters, they’ve been opening every performance with an obscure Gospel song by Brother Joe May called “Where Is The Road That Leads Home?”. They cut their teeth performing country, blues & gospel in Manhattan clubs frequented by aging punk rockers, places like Manitoba’s and Otto’s Shrunken Head. They honed their musical skills playing at a local cemetery and also at a concert series in a neighborhood Lumberyard. They have a reputation for playing gigs at unorthodox venues, such as farmers markets, street festivals, local parks , art shows, a motorcycle show, an historic mansion, a chili cookoff and even in Macy’s Dept Store! They perform classic country tunes and gritty gospel sounds from the deep South, and raw blues numbers that go back to the greats hailing from Mississippi and Chicago. In addition to their unique cover songs, they have original tunes like “My Baby Stabbed Me With a Steak Knife”, “I’m Afraid of Every Goddamn Thing”, and “Love Murders Your Heart”. They’ve been described as “the sound of America, starting at the intersection of all it’s best influences!”
