In the end, this is just a bad ass band tryin to do right by the music. We are a quartet of brothers all drawn together by the same need to explore the vast expanses between blues, classic rock and jazz. Poppa D provides a driving guitar that exudes power and soul, whether it be 30's swing or BB King. "Too Tall" Eddie B folds his harp into the spaces around and in-between. Then, after awhile, we let him sonically bludgen you with it.
Because Poppa D and The Aggravators spans a wide river of styles and eras, we sometimes struggle with how to "market" the band. There is however, no question that we are committed to a definite approach regarding our goals:
Be close to the audience
Have a blast, because we ain't getting rich, but we're probably drinking for free.
Be Dynamic...!!..!
No musical option is off the table
Don't poke the bear. Poppa D reacts badly to flashes and may break his chains and rampage through the city
Play what we feel close to. We've been together awhile doing this and, despite our best efforts, people don't seem to hate us so much
Play with people we love
