Big 50's Chicago Blues sound. 4-5 pieces generally. Gritty and very dance
oriented, we're after an authentic feel with a little more juice. The rotation
always includes great instrumentalists like Pete Schmidt, Jeff Peacock, Dr. Nick,
Darren Gallen, Big Joe Burns, Bruce Griffen, Gavin Brown, Bo Stocker, and more.

Righteous blues seeded with a hint of R &B. Terry performs as leader of the Granary Blues Band. He also performs in a trio with Stephen Barry on bass and Gord Adamson on drums and as a duo with Peter Measroch. He is an old line player who brought the blues from Detroit to Ottawa in 1968. He is known for his uncompromising good taste in music and is very well respected by other musicians. When Terry plays the crowd dances all nite long and cries for more.

Blues that doesn't attempt to capture a representation of an imagined past. We're hungry young punks and we play it like we look it. No songs about 5 cent licorice, or a big-but woman who done left me standing at the crossroads....12 years of sharpening our claws in broke-dick bars throughout New York and Ontario. We got chops galore; but choose to use them sparingly. Got the Hemi; but the car ain't gonna fly if we burn the rubber down to the rim. Come to a Hornet show and bring a change of clothes. Unless, of course, you like that whole blood, beer, and second-hand sweat look.

L5L 3P3
Tel: (905) 820-4094
Website: www.maestroproductions.biz
Email: dvenditti@rogers.com

The original band was formed on a cold, wet and stormy Friday night in 1996. The founding members include the Bass player (a.k.a. "4 Strings" - Del V.), the Lead singer/rhythm guitarist (a.k.a. "Lungs" - Dave M.) and
the drummer (a.k.a. "Skins" - Dave T.). In 1998 the lead guitar was replaced with an electric/12 string lead specialist (a.k.a. "12 Strings" -
Jim P.) and the name "Wrinkled Peach" was coined. In this configuration the band played many "paying gigs" and house parties while developing a loyal following of fans & supporters.

Encouraged to develop, the "Wrinkled Peach" occasionally hosted various session musicians in its ongoing search for an evolving "live sound".
Luckily an Ad brought in a high performance lead guitarist (a.k.a. "Commander" - Mike N.) for even more challenging instrumental diversity.
Finally in September 2001, keyboards (a.k.a. "Fingers" - Christopher F.) were added to round out the depth of the band's new feel and sound.

The "Wrinkled Peach" currently consists of six fully contributing members. Rock n' Roll, Easy listening, Blues and Smooth Jazz are fan favorites from this "live" band as it constantly evolves its entertainment performance
standards.

In their "day jobs" the band members disguise themselves as 2 professional engineers and 4 management consultants.
