Paul Holland, Guitar/Vocals
Paul began playing guitar at age 10. Endlessly rehearsing in a Bloomington basement. Hendrix, Beatles, Zeppelin, and Kiss, were the inspiration in the fabulous 70's. Then came the Stevie Ray Vaughan era. Blues & Rock took charge. He formed a popular TC trio called 3 Below. 3 Below won a MN Music award, and played countless gigs throughout the midwest. 3 Belows CD "Adventurer Powered" (1992) was a pungent package of blues rock, featuring Dave Doll on drums, and Rich Pearson on bass. The CD sold in the thousands then and continues to sell today. After that came Paul Holland and The Supafuzz, Randy Olejnicak/Drums, David Luvin/Bass. Together they offered up a CD playfully called "Pornomusic" (1997) which was another wicked batch of guitarslinging. Paul has been fortunate to win a few acoustic & Electric guitar playing contests. And has recently honed his acoustic fingerpickin skills, doing gigs with his buddy and TC Blues Legend Moses Oakland. |
| David Thomas, Drums Dave provides the pulse behind the band. A TC music scene veteran of many years. His knowledge and touch is just the right spice for this BluesBrew. Dave can also be seen in "Steeling Dan" a popular tribute to Steely Dan. And his prog rock band "Terramarra". |
| Neil Powell, Bass/Vocals Neil, aka: "The Low Frequency Deity" Has been jammin with Paul for years. He is a graduate of the renowned music school North Texas State. He is featured on numerous recordings and has played with the likes of: Mingo Fishtrap, Shane & the Wild Weasels, Kurt Jorgenson. To name a few. On his off nights, he can be found behind the soundboard down at Bunkers Music Saloon making everyone sound good. |
