Video
Every so often someone takes some video of some of our live performances. Here are a few:
Bandee’s BBQ is such a fun venue to play – we love it there. And we definitely had fun with this take on Elmore James “Shake Your Money Maker”. Hope you enjoy it too!
One of our favorite bands to listen to is the Downchild Blues Band. They were making some GREAT blues starting back in the 70’s and they haven’t slowed down yet. Here’s a version of their song “I Know You’re Lying”
Here’s another clip from another night at Bandee’s BBQ. Willie Big Eyes Smith was the drummer for Muddy Waters for a while, but he was a singer and songwriter as well and put out a number of great albums. Here’s our take on his “Sitting Here Drinking”
Ah yes – the Oklahoma State Fair. What a setting and a band shell stage so big we could have played tennis on it. And the sound engineer was TOP NOTCH. We will definitely be back again next year!
Another great trip to Clarksdale, Mississippi to play on the fabled Ground Zero Blues Club stage during the 2022 Sunflower River Blues Festival. Another top notch sound engineer. We LOVE GZBC!
I always say nothing goes better with BBQ than the blues! Here we are at Bandee’s BBQ Live stage and had the honor of having Chanda Graham join us on stage for a few tune. WHAT A VOICE!
We are playing more and more festivals, and we love it. In June of 2022 we played at the Bricktown Blues Festival in Oklahoma City, OK. It was so much fun and the crowd was great. Also gave me a chance to show off the nimble fingers of our bass player Casey “Curly” Saunders!
We were honored to be selected as a musical guest for the 2022 PrideFest Celebration at Scissortail Park in Oklahoma City, OK. It was so much fun and we made a lot of new friends. We’re proud to be allies!
Here we are at the Bricktown Blues Festival in Oklahoma City, OK. I love playing this custom built cigar box guitar built by the luthier Kevin Patrick. It’s so much fun to play and sounds so good, despite being two license plates nailed to a square box (an Oklahoma plate on the front, and an Iowa plate on the back). I don’t know how he does it, but he is creating art with each new build.
Here’s a video of our live performance at the Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale, MS during the Sunflower River Blues Festival on August 14, 2021. We had a BLAST and want to thank everyone at GZBC, especially Tameal for being so wonderful!
We were part of the outdoor summer concert series. What a blast this was! Even in the midst of the pandemic, being outdoors, masking up, being careful, made it possible to have an outdoor concert. Thank you Yukon!
Nothing quite like playing at the blues club that is as the heart of it all! This was from the stage at Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale, MS.
Ground Zero Blues Club, Clarksdale, MS
We played at this world famous blues club during the Sunflower River Blues Festival and recorded the set.

Studio Recordings
Every once in a while we get a chance to lay down some tracks at Singing Dog Studios, but never seem to have time to take them any farther. Go ahead and give them a listen, they just might be on the next Big Train and the Loco Motives release!
Upcoming Albums
In addition to our live CD recorded at the Ground Zero Blues Club from August, 2021, we are continually in and out of the studio as we build a vault of recorded material just aching for a new way to be heard.
