CABB EP on Band Camp:
CABB BIO: Cedar Avenue Blues Band fuses old school with new vision for the blues. In May of 2010, lead guitar player John Weeks teamed up with singer/songwriter Melanie Owen Padilla to talk about starting a project... John's extensive background in the blues steered the course while Melanie took on the challenge of writing for the blues. John & Mel were soon joined by the drummer Ryan Kurtz, and bass player Jay Ryan. Together they are Cedar Avenue Blues Band, a taxi cabb careening through the streets of Blues history out onto the interstate of modern Blues music, fueled by sublime covers and smokin' originals, hot licks and scorching vocals.

John Weeks - lead guitar, vocals, writing
Melanie Owen Padilla - lead vocals, guitar, writing
