The CD BLUESFUZE "WE'RE HAVING A PARTY" features musicians with a cutting edge approach to music focusing on performance. This is a band with a mission. The emphasis here is not on catchy hooks or cute melodies. The concern here is playing their hearts out. Heavy guitar solo's, wailing vocals, forceful bass groove's and rhythmic drums. A tour de force of blues, rock, funk and reggae roots music which brings people to their feet every time. This band not only gets them on the dance floor but also tears down the roof with their energy and keen sense of musicianship. They are versatile and have each played with many great artists throughout their careers. . Contents © 2009 Ron Tropiano. All rights reserved.
