We do a wonderfully eclectic mix of old and new rock and roll, with a lot of great harmonies.  Some of the artists that we cover are Bonnie Raitt, the Stones, Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, Los Lonely Boys, Santana, Linda Rondstadt, Sheryl Crow, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Jefferson Airplane, Steeler's Wheel, Jonny Lang, Bryan Adams, Stray Cats, James Brown, Little Feat, Alannah Miles, CCR, Dusty Springfield, the Eagles, and more!

  

Phil Akers started playing guitar when he was 10 years old, and formed Phil N The Blanks in high school in Arlington, VA back in the 80s.  He has always loved to play covers, and began writing originals about a decade ago.  He has been influenced by all the classics ....Page, Hendrix, Stones, Johnny Winter, SRV, The Who, Marley, & Carlos the Man Santana, to name a few.  His goal is to get out and play, be heard and have fun!

  

Fritzi Alwin has been singing since the late 80s, learning to play guitar along the way.  She has been in several bands and duos, has played some as a solo artist, has been featured on several CD projects, and rarely passes up a chance to get up on stage and blast the room with her wonderful tone, excellent pitch, and boundless energy. Although consistently complimented on her choice of material, Fritzi's voice is what has gotten the most attention and praise over the years.

Our good friend from Cahoots (www.cahootsrockandroll.com), Steve Andrzejczyk (Ann-Dray-Zick) is filling in on bass and backup vocals while we find a permanent bass player (unless we can convince Steve to play with us, too!!).
