Genre: Blues
The G String Daddies are a hard edged, driving, dynamic mix of rock, blues and rockabilly, and an unapologetic exploration of the spaces in between. GSD's releases have both received "Best Blues Album" nominations at the San Diego Music Awards, but they are definitely NOT your typical blues band...
“...a mean and gritty American roots band. With its signature and searing slide guitar attack, Gaskins and the Daddies will kidnap you for the set, and won’t let you go until they have rocked you, socked you and left you beggin’ for more.”
DesertFEST
“...if you really listen, you'll hear the ghosts of Presley, Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Cash at Sun Records and the countless, faceless others who sang their hearts out in southern jukes and Chicago blues joints...
”
San Diego Troubadour
“...Gaskins edge, combined with the talents of the G String Daddies: Charlie Gordon on bass and Dan Renwick on drums, makes for quite the whiskey roller coaster ride. This is blues fusion with a Bob Seger-esque rock ethic.
”
Reviewer Magazine
“These boys can rock... a solid band of musicians who, as kids, probably scared their neighbors when practicing in their families' garages and have played every smoke-filled joint in this town...”
