Artist History Started as "The Accusations" with founding members Chris Carero and Dan Pierce. The original drummer was Tony Keene and "The Accusations" began as more of a Rock Band. After Chris and Dan saw Stevie Ray Vaughn in concert is when they began to develope into the great blues band that they ended up being. They are a mix of a lot of major and not so major blues influences with their own unique sound. They will sound familiar to you if you follow the blues, but they don't sound like any one person or band. They are one of the best Blues "cover" bands that you will ever hear but they are truely at their best when playing one of their original songs. Dan and Chris write great songs.
