Fuad Farah, guitarist:
FAVORITE BLUES SONG: “Love in Vain” by Robert Johnson.
FAVORITE BLUES ARTIST (LIVING): Eric Clapton was the first blues guitarist I ever heard and my first inspiration to play guitar.
FAVORITE BLUES ARTIST (DECEASED): Muddy Waters, the man who added electricity to the blues.
FAVORITE SONG TO PLAY LIVE: “I Put a Spell On You” by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins (as arranged by Dr. Constantin Farah).
FAVORITE GIG TO DATE: Playing at Blues City Cafe on Beale Street in Memphis.
FAVORITE NONBAND HOBBY:
Debating as part of the Jackson High School speech and debate team.
CAREER PLANS: I plan to study medicine in hopes of becoming a surgeon. I will have to transfer my finger skills from guitar to the medical field!
Jake Friel, vocals and harmonica:
FAVORITE BLUES SONG: “Tiger Man” by Kim Wilson.
FAVORITE BLUES ARTIST (LIVING): For harmonica, it’s a tie between Dennis Gruenling and Kim Wilson. Favorite guitarist is Buddy Guy.
FAVORITE BLUES ARTIST (DECEASED): William Clark is my all-time favorite.
FAVORITE SONG TO PLAY LIVE: “I’ve Got My Mojo Working.” The band tears down on that song!
FAVORITE GIG TO DATE: The second night in Memphis at Blues City Cafe and New Daisy Theatre — we jammed with a bunch of awesome musicians!
FAVORITE NONBAND HOBBY: Whenever the band isn't playing in the summer, I'm usually at a lake or out seeing other bands.
CAREER PLANS: It will take about 6 feet of dirt and a tombstone to get me to stop playing music. That's all I know for now!
