"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 thus putting down our instruments for decades; we happened upon one another at a Blues Jam in Elk Grove Village in 2018. We've been a Blues musical family ever since
Ami "the Hammer" Goldenstein
Guitar and Vocals. Rock infused rhythm guitarist with deep love for the blues, rock and world music. His licks are the bridge between the rhythm section and the lead.
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 as the root of much of modern music. To that end he likes to lay down a solid groove with his bass.
Joe "fiddle sticks" Funari
Drums. In his bottom-heavy thumping style Joe's rock roots are evident when he drums the blues. Backbeats are played with feeling and authority and lay down a pocket so deep you could fall into it.
Tudor "Doc" Stoica
Guitar, lead vocals and Harmonica. An up and comer, one of the most powerful undiscovered modern "Bluescian's" on the scene, with influences ranging from the Classic Blues masters to Reggae, hip-hip, and R&B.
