Amy... yeah

Amy Lou
Vocals... Mojo, sass, and mustard

Amy Lou, Miss Lady Blue, is a regular performer at JJ's Blues Club in San Jose, California. She was honored to participate in the club's celebrated "Women in Blues" week concert series in March 2005, kicking off the week with her Amy Lou's Blues as a headlining act.

Although relatively new to the bay area blues scene, singing is not new to her. As the oldest child of deaf parents, singing was her first language and her constant companion. It was time, and as her love of blues and singing her blues became stronger, she finally realized her long kept dream and Amy Lou's Blues was born. Her life's motto is "I'll sleep when I'm old!" and "You gotta do what you love, and love what you do!" In her singing the blues, she's doing just that.

Scott Miller

Scott Miller
Guitar and vocals... 14-fingered Vibrationization of the Nation!

Scott doesn't always dress as he does in the picture to the left. Most of the time, he wears a red jacket too, proving that not only do guitar players play too loud, they dress too loud too.

Scott started playing guitar when "Louie Louie" ruled the airwaves. He was in various bands, including Harold Honey and the Cabbage Heads, and then a whole bunch of life happened, and he gave a private concert in his living room for 27 years. Returning to live performance as a geezer, he has played in various outfits for the last few years.


Luke Piro
Drums and vocals... Bongo beats to move your feets!

San Francisco-born Luke Piro has been drumming for 40 years He learned early on in life that the key to being a successful drummer is to dress sharp and use proper hair-care products. 

Luke's turn-ons: Swimming pools, rum and cokes, and long-legged brunettes. Luke's turn-offs: Bad-hair days, bumper-to-bumper traffic, and watered-down drinks. Luke is influenced by: Dean Martin and Ronnie Wood. 

When Luke is not playing his drums, he's usually thinking about playing his drums... and when he's not doing that, he's probably out shopping for cool stuff.

Porter

Scott Porter
Piano and Hammond... King of the Boards!

Scott has been active in the Bay Area live music scene since the early '90's, playing keyboards and occasionally bass in a variety of styles from jump blues and honky-tonk to punk-a-billy and psychedelia.  He was originally trained in classical piano and post-modern euphonium, but has developed his own uniquely merciless blues piano-pounding technique, enhanced by a strict regimen of working out with the heavy bag and watching Bruce Lee movies.  Scott also incorporates Hammond organ into his keyboard arsenal, and on top that, secretly hopes that one day his fellow musicians will ask to him step up and play a ripping solo on that little percussion thing that looks like a fish.
