True Flavor Blues

We regularly play small rooms almost as an acoustic band, without a P.A system or microphones, simply using very small guitar amps and singing directly to the audience. We can also play clubs and festival shows and do tailor our performance a bit for the expected audience. If the audience is wanting to party and dance, that's the material we'll do. If it's a more intimate room where the audience is primarily listening, we may do more jazz and songs with more subtle instrumentation, and will likely improvise a bit more.

The band has been playing with its current lineup since October of 2016.
Scotty Spenner fronts the band, singing and playing guitar. He is a member of the Arizona Blues Hall of Fame and 2017 recipient of the Phoenix Mayor's Arts Award. Scotty is a fantastic blues singer and has a decades long history playing and teaching music of all types.
Chris Skowron is our fantastic Saxophone player, whether it is jazz, blues, or even ska.
James Robertson is the second guitar player and is renowned for his slide work and lap steel playing. He's played with many bands around the Phoenix area since his arrival to the valley in 1992 and is particularly fond of the "west coast" style of blues, as well as almost any electric guitar driven roots music from the post-war era, be it blues, western swing, rockabilly, R&B, and Memphis soul.
Vince Curtis on Drums and Curt Arndt on bass are the rhythm section that holds everything together. They have worked together in other bands previous to this one and bring that understanding of each other as players with them. They're understated and slightly mysterious.
