New article by Bill Copeland of The Boston Blues Society The Boston-based band has a new CD, but they still like to keep it live and local Music scene followers have been inundated with computerized, synthesized music for so long now that many are crying out for something as real as meat and potatoes with hot gravy. A band of veteran musicians together for three years now are doing their part to provide local scenesters with some authentic down home rootsy music.

Boston Globe Article on Bobby Keyes
All play and plenty of work Nearly half a century after strumming his first chords in public at the Rainbow Lounge in Ipswich, this "Route 1 brat" is still rolling up and down the highway to gigs and sessions. Guitarist Bobby Keyes lives in Salisbury, runs his recording studio in his native Saugus, and plays clubs all over Boston and the North Shore. Then there are the jaunts to Hollywood, where he writes and records with friends like pop star Robin Thicke.
