Meet the Band
Chris – Lead Vocal, Guitar
Chris and I played together in a rock band (Chris James Band) several years ago that enjoyed some success locally (Songwriter’s Club, Roxy’s, Woodstock…anyone?).
Des – Guitar, Harmonica, Backing Vocals
Des and I were both in a Blues band called Redhand for many years. We had a ball playing gigs in cool places all over southern Africa and I’m quite happy to have my homie Des on board to give us a big, two-guitar sound.
Keegan – Bass
Keegan is Des’ son! I first heard him play when Redhand was headlining the Durban International Blues Festival several years ago and his high school band had an opening slot. His playing has matured a lot since then and he’s holding down his end quite capably, thank you.
David – Keys
We’ve added another of Des’ progeny to the lineup. David is lending his piano/keyboard and vocal skills to the band. A Drakensberg Boys Choir veteran, David is more than capable of harmonizing harmoniously with Chris’ lead vocals.
Rob (me) – Drums
I’ve been playing drums and percussion in various bands and orchestras since I was 9 years old (how long that actually is, I’m not saying). As stated above, I have played with both Chris and Des before and I’m really enjoying this new band. Can’t wait to go live. I miss the stage, the crowd and white-knuckling my way through a set cuz there’s always something…
