Artist description These are the men that make up" The BluesKnights"! We are from Austin. We live in Austin. We record in Austin. We write in Austin. Most importantly, we FEEL Austin, Texas. We benefit from the unique qualities and traditions that are Austin, Texas. We are influenced by the many different music cultures that are here in Austin, Texas. WE are a group of music men who have the ability to perform many different types of music and have varied tastes. THIS gives "The BluesKnights" the unique sound we have created. "The BluesKnights" are alive and doing well! Our sound is natural, easy going, high energy and a combination of men who have been around the block. Know how to be cool. Can get "UP" for any gig and can get " down with it" when it is time to " Rock IT"! We have "flavor" as I have been told. This is a group of men who work together on other projects. We know each other musically and personally. The BluesKnights music is recorded live and written on the spot.."spur of the moment". It's a flowing combination of Traditional Rhythm and Blues/ Boogie Blues-Texas style… with just enough rock and motion to get people up and on the dance floor. To entertain and hold the audience's attention. To interact with the patrons and encourage them to "join in" and "stay awhile"! Our energy and quality comes NOT from volume. When we shout, ' Turn it UP!"…we encourage everyone in the building to let go and enjoy the life. Our love for music and performing comes from years of experience and living long enough to know that there are only so many Saturday nights left..so, let's enjoy them. We enjoy our abilities and enjoy passing on to the audience the confidence we have in our music. That the music is for them as well as us. We are unselfish with this music and want them to feel it as well as come back for more. When the patrons go home for the evening, we want them to say think, "Man, that was worth the time and money" instead of wishing they had those few hours back! We like what we do. We like who we are.
