Album Notes

"61 South" is the fastest route out of the Blue Mountains of Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. "61 South" also happens to be the fastest rising blues band in those same Blue Mountains. "61 South" is a 3 piece rocking blues band powered by the soaring sounds of the steel guitar. "61 South's" members are veterans of the PA/NJ/NY music scene having opened for many major and national acts over their 50 plus years of collective musical experience. "61 South" features the powerhouse drumming of John Goba, the rock solid bass foundatiuon of Kate Koch and the fiery steel guitar sounds and rugged vocals of Sterling Koch.

The unique sound of the steel guitar in a blues format is what sets this band apart from other blues bands. This is not your father's twangy, country steel guitar. Far from it. Think Duane Allman or Robert Randolph playing with as solid a rhythm section as you will find. Playing blues in a classic rock style reminiscent of Z.Z. Top or George Thorogood, "61 South" is sure to rock away your blues.
