About

Manager: Ian McFadyen - 50 Sticks Productions

Bio: Just over a year ago, 50 Sticks of Dynamite exploded onto the local Ventura scene and has been blowing the roof off of places from the House of Blues Los Angeles to Santa Barbara ever since with their unique brand of banjo-fronted blues rock!

A band is said to be a sum of its parts...if you wer... See Full Bio

Press

"...50 Sticks of Dynamite really gets the crowd moving. Whether the song is a blues tune about hard times and heartache, or a rock n roll song that makes you dance, their music just makes you feel good."

— Jewel Henessy, VC BUZZ

"One might be sufficient, but 50? Expect ka-blooey big time, not to mention fun, when 50 Sticks of Dynamite play their brand of banjo-friendly, well-dressed rock..."

— Bill Locey, Ventura County Star

“Last night I saw Ian McFadyen’s band, 50 Sticks of Dynamite. One of the things I love about banjo is that there are as many styles of playing as there are banjoists and certainly Ian and 50 Sticks are no exception. Ian plays a Deering Crossfire 5-string and their music is mostly high-energy blues/rock fusion. His playing style combines three finger Scruggs style with strumming/flat picking elements (Ian please correct me if you would describe it differently). Bottom line is, it works. The result grabs you by the soul and calls you to get out of your seat and dance, shake, and shout. And it’s not all about Ian and banjo. The rest of the musicians are amazing, too. Whitey Wingland plays sweet, clean guitar and is one of the better blues harp players I have heard. Michael Dominguez is rock solid and creative on bass and Chris Jensen is the exact drummer a band like this needs; he keeps a solid blanket of beat that makes it all work. ”

— Boy Meets Banjo

“Hot new local blues/rock band, 50 Sticks Of Dynamite recently performed at the House Of Blues in Hollywood. And, they are making noise all over the Ventura music streets.”

— Michael Kohli, The Breeze

“VC Reporter pick of the week...again!!!”

— VC Reporter

“50 Sticks of Dynamite is a featured band during the inaugural Ventura Music Week”
