We like to feature Maine acts on our BIO page so here is some info about the Bad Daddys. The Bad Daddys are an electric quartet froom the mid-coast region of Maine, frequently gigging around the Bar Harbor/Ellsworth area but you'll see them in places like Camden, Boothbay and just about anywhere Maine Blues is happening. They  played a double billing at this year's Maine Blues Festival in Naples, performing at the Point Sebago resort and Sydney's restaurant on Saturday. The band features Paul Waring and  Al Strong on guitar and vocals, Tom Rush on drums (not to be confused with his folksinging namesake) and Jimmy Klemenz on bass. This is a fine blues band made up of veteran players and they play a style of blues that's rooted in the past but has an eye on the future as well. They have recently produced and released a great CD entitled simply enough "The Bad Daddys" on Reversing Records, recorded right here in Maine. Check out our shows page for a list of their upcoming shows and if you get a chance scheck these guys out, you'll be glad that you did!
