"heeey hey to make it you've got to try"
Meet the Maestro's
our shared love of the blues
Having lived our lives and putting down our instruments for decades, we fortuitously came together at a Blues Jam in Elk Grove Village in 2018. Since then, we’ve formed a close-knit Blues music family and have enjoyed sharing our passion through live blues performances, evolving into a dedicated Blues rock band.
Ami "the Hammer" Goldenstein
Guitar and Vocals. A rhythm guitarist infused with rock who has a deep love for blues music, rock, and world music. His licks serve as the perfect bridge between the rhythm section and the lead, making him a vital part of any blues rock band and enhancing live blues performances.
Steve "Smooth" Smith
Bass and Vocals. Born in Philadelphia, Steve has participated in a variety of musical experiences over the years. With a love of all genres of music, he acknowledges blues music as the root of much of modern music. To that end, he enjoys laying down a solid groove with his bass, often performing with a blues rock band and engaging in live blues performances.
Joe "fiddle sticks" Funari
Drums. In his bottom-heavy thumping style, Joe's rock roots shine through when he plays the blues music that is the backbone of his blues rock band. His backbeats are delivered with feeling and authority, laying down a pocket so deep you could fall into it, especially during live blues performances.
Tudor "Doc" Stoica
Guitar, lead vocals, and harmonica define this up-and-coming artist, one of the most powerful undiscovered modern figures in the world of Blues music. With influences ranging from the classic Blues masters to reggae, hip-hop, and R&B, this talent is poised to make waves in the Blues rock band scene, captivating audiences with live blues performances.
