LIVE MUSIC BY BACKLASH!
Have you ever noticed how nostalgic songs like Whole Lot of Shakin, Pretty Woman, The Last Time, Messing with the Kid, Woolly Bully, Sweet Home Alabama, Two Tickets to Paradise, For Your Love, and We’re an American Band … can take you back to a special time and place? That’s the focus behind BackLash – a 4-piece classic rock and blues band based out of Olympia, Washington. Their selections of songs cover a wide variety of music with one thing in common…they’re all memorable classic hits! Some of the artists include Santana, Elvis, Rolling Stones, Beatles, BB King, INXS, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, SRV, Phil Collins, Spencer Davis, etc. Introducing the Band….Jessie DeLoach, founder of the band, plays rhythm guitar with a “right touch” of lead to accent the groove plus lead/harmony vocals. Stan Carlson plays the drums, maracas and tambourine that provide the driving heartbeat percussion for the band’s sound. Jim “Sweet Jimmy Jazz” Miller plays the keyboards, plus lead/harmony vocals. He’s the blend and spirit of great keyboard players reincarnated that is evident in his style. Todd Luque plays the five string bass guitar, plus lead/harmony vocals. Steadfast and smooth, he’s the backbone that provides the bottom end for the band’s phat sound.
