*WIL BLADES' O.G.D.* is:
WIL BLADES (Hammond B-3 Organ)
Originally from Chicago, Wil Blades has become one of San Francisco's top organists. He has been wowing audiences with Bay Area groups like "Aquatic Groove Session", and "BluesBeat". Wil has also shared the stage with artists such as John Lee Hooker, Melvin Sparks, Dr. Lonnie Smith, and Herbie Lewis. His playing has gained him respect from audiences and musicians alike.
STEVE BURKE (Guitar)
East Coast born and raised, guitar player, Steve Burke, has been playing his greasy R&B juke-joint jazz style to appreciative West Coast audiences for the past ten years. Steve has played and recorded with Grammy nominee jazz and blues singer, Betty Joplin as well as legendary guitarist, Phil Upchurch. In the tradition of Grant Green, George Benson, and Melvin Sparks, Steve plays a dirty, funky guitar
BRANDON ETZLER (Drums)
San Francisco’s own, Brandon Etzler is one of the most sought after jazz/funk drummers in the Bay Area. His feel and spirit are reminiscent of those legendary drummers who have created and shaped the music we call Funk. Drawing on influences such as Idris Muhammad, Clyde Stubblefield, Bill Stewart, Jack DeJohnette, and Joseph “Zigaboo”Modeliste, Brandon has forged a unique, syncopated yet melodic style of drumming.
