DEREK TUCKER joins ON5s!!!

Greetings folks!  ON5s has had a recent personnel change.  In the efforts to make continuous strides, bass player extraordinaire Derek Tucker joins us in what will undoubtedly be a wall of infimessimal (yep, we’re makin up our own words now) sound!  If you’ve never heard blues with intensity.  If you are tired of crusty musicians playing the same tunes over – and over – and over again with no dynamic emotion.  If you prefer passion over gimmick.  If you love true blue musicians who have dedicated their every facet of life to the dream of a career in music.  You’ve come to the right place.  A singer who sings his ass off… NO GIMMICKS and plays guitar like you’ve never heard before from a Kansas City artist!!!  A drummer with the skill, knowledge, and power to bring any song to its ictus and back!!!  And now the one and only Derek Tucker!  A young bass player with years of experience ranging all music styles.  A man who loves what he does, and will do anything to get where he wants to be.

The Old No. 5s.
Not Your Crusty Ass Grandpa’s Blues Band!

The Old No. 5s to Perform with Mary Bridget Davies in Kansas City!

Mary Bridget Davies at The House Of Blues!

On December 27th, 28th, and 29th The Old No 5s will be performing with the internationally acclaimed artist Mary Bridget Davies of Cleveland, OH.  Recently, Mary”s most recent  single from her album “Wanna Feel Somethin”" was named one of NPR”s “5 Songs Public Radio Can”t Stop Playing”!  Her accolades continue to impress even the most genuine soul critics!  Touring with “Big Brother and The Holding Company”, Performing the lead roll in the Off-Broadway hit show “Love Janis”, and winning the 2nd place position at the 2010 International Blues Competition with casino online polska “The Mary Bridget Davies Group” are among only a few of the featured shameless promotional bragging we will tell you about.  The list is so long, it reads like “War and Peace.” And honestly, you just need to get your ass to a show and be blown away by her PIPES!  IMAGINE!  The raw soulful power of Mary Bridget Davies, and in intense magnitude of Brock Alexander and his Old No 5s!  HOLY CARP BATMAN!!!

About MBD, National Public Radio (NPR) said, “Mary Bridget Davies mixes the sounds of Aretha Franklin, Janis Joplin and Susan Tedeschi — remarkable company, to say the least. Her debut album, Wanna Feel Somethin”, helps cement Davies” place among of today”s best blues vocalists. It”s not surprising that her vocals are strong; she exercises her powerful instrument nightly while playing Janis Joplin in a theater production. But she”s got real-deal blues credentials in her own right, including a recent second-place finish at the International Blues Challenge. –Wendy Wright, host of WEMU”s “From Memphis to Motown”

Thursday December 27th – 8pm – Fat Fish Blue in Zona Rosa
Friday, December 28th – 9pm – Freddy T”s in Olathe
Saturday, December 29th – 10pm – Magoon”s Famous Delicatessen in St. Joseph, MO
