I should have mentioned that we _aren't_ a solid blues band. From our site:
"The band I play with most these days is "Deliverance" -- a very classic dance oriented band. We play a solid mix of country, blues, classic and very classic rock with a few twists thrown in to keep everything fresh. We work steadily and we have fun. Collectively we have a repertoire of well over 1000 songs ranging from Studebaker John & the Hawks and Buddy Guy, through the O'kanes and Brooks and Dunn, through Fats Domino and Louis Armstrong to Lou Bega and Train. We play enough of everything to upset everybody."
The fun part for me is I play some harp on pretty much every tune--and I get to play a wide range of material. The non-blues stuff helps my blues playing a great deal.
