      Something of interest: Lead guitar player Jamie and myself have been performing together for 17 years!! One of our most successfull endeavors to date, (not including JWB of course) was the formation of “The Redneck Aliens” in 1995. A 3pc “power trio” that was featured two years in a row on a nationally acclaimed CD release called “The Best of the Green Mountain Blues” Vol. 3 and 4. More than a few of the artists on those albums, have used that release as a huge stepping stone for their success in the music business. Grace Potter, Seth Yacavone, Nobby Reed etc. That being said………. On to JWB……

      Our focus : To provide professional, quality entertainment to a wide spectrum of music lovers. From contemporary country, and Iconic Classic Rock, to our Bluesy originals, we’re all about the MUSIC!!
