The Boa Constrictors are
a hand-assembled band of Detroit's very best musicians. All of the
members came from the cores of many of the very best Blues bands
that Detroit has to offer.
The Boa Constrictors are a Detroit Blues band with a true Detroit
pedigree. When you come to a Boa Constrictors show, you are
hearing
PURE Detroit Blues with a
PURE Detroit attitude.
Members of the Boa
Constrictors have been fortunate to share the stage and to open
shows for Luther Allison, Junior Wells, Sugar Blue, Charlie
Musselwhite, Jason Ricci and New Blood, and the legendary Motown
session-band, the Funk Brothers, as well as acting as backing
musicians for ex-Fleetwood Mac guitarist and Rock and Roll Hall of
Famer, Jeremy Spencer.
Detroit Blues has it's own distinctive style. It is very greasy,
grimy, and lowdown. It's industrial sound evolved from Delta Blues
with the northern migration for factory jobs during Detroit's
industrial revolution. It's birthplaces and homes were Paradise
Valley and Hastings Street.
Our main course recipe
comes from the harmonica bands of Little Walter, Jerry Portnoy,
Junior Wells, Paul Butterfield, and Sonny Boy Williamson (1 and 2).
We also throw in a dash of Rockabilly for
flavor.
We have a heaping
helping of Detroit Blues influence as well. The members of our band
have played with legendary Detroit artists like Billy Davis, The
Sharecroppers of Soul, John Watkins, Lazy Lester, Little Junior
Cannaday, the Butler Twins, Harmonica Shah, and Uncle Jesse White.
Each and every member of
the Boa Constrictors brings their unique life experiences to the
stage, both musically and personally. From large festival venues,
to the smallest bar, or juke-joint, our shows are always
spontaneous, energetic, loads of fun, and full of the ingredients
that make Blues one of the most exciting American musical art
forms.
Please come and enjoy an original Detroit musical history lesson
with them.
