The Straightup Blues Band began in 1998 as a group of friends and co-workers getting together to "Jam" just for the fun of it. Then things went a little crazy. People actually liked our music, stage presence and blues attitude.
We believe that the blues is an individual thing. The blues feeling is your inner self saying that there needs to be change. The task of the bluesman is to find the musical key that unlocks those feelings and prompts you to make positive changes.
The Straightup Blues Band has found the key in honest, straight from the heart blues. |

STRAIGHTUP BLUES BAND
from: 12 BAR RAG – LARRY LISK – SUNCOAST BLUES SOCIETY
The debut release from the Straightup Blues Band is real, honest Blues. Nothing flashy or fancy, just good Blues straight from the heart. The band clicks on all cylinders as they ease their way through seven solid originals and three covers. That is the thing about this band - they make it seem so easy. No egos here either as all the band members make a contribution to the whole. Lead guitar and bandleader Ralph Straight puts his personal mark on the obviously autobiographical title song, bassist Vic Pavone contributes two originals and the band collaborates on two more. The real sleeper her is vocalist Alvina Walcott. She lends a couple of songs to the effort and in my opinion, steals the show. On 110 in the Shade you can feel the heat and Red Headed Step Child is a winner through and through. This is a nice first effort, CD's are available from the band at stra8up@yahoo.com. |
