Chicago born singer and guitarist, Sue Sisk arrived in San Francisco in the summer of ’71, singing rock ‘n’ roll, gospel and jazz. Her original tunes reflect these diverse influences, moving from ballads to jump up blues boogies.

Joining Sue on guitar, Rick Banker moved to the coast 4 years ago from the Bay Area where he played with The Gumbo Band for twenty-five years and “He sho’ do love the blues.” Tommy Grattan on pedal steel, dobro, mandolin and vocals) has been in Mendocino for over 40 years, playing with the famous and infamous.
