Steve Guyger & The Excellos
Music Style: Electric Chicago & Acoustic Blues
Steve Guyger is a bluesman. From the moment he heard Magic Dick's harmonica blast on the J.Geils classic Whammer Jammer, his road was set in stone. Thirty years later, having spent his life at the well of the blues masters (Sonny Boy, Howlin Wolf and Little Walter) absorbing their influence, Steve's place as a harmonica virtuoso is secure. He has toured North America with the Jimmy Rogers Blues band, amazed European audiences with his powerhouse harmonica stylings, and backed John Hammond Jr. for some of the most cutting edge harp work anywhere. Recently back from a stint with The Band's Levon Helm, Steve is once again fronting The Excellos, his blues quintet that rocks every house with authentic renditions of timeless blues classics. The Excellos repertoire is vast, and Steves magnetic harp playing leaves streams of admirers after every performance. The music is both infectious and driving. From Sonny Terry styled acoustic blues to full-on electric Chicago shuffles, if it's the real thing that you want, Steve Guygers Excellos delivers it with a vengeance.
