Back Alley is a collection of talent from southeast Wisconsin.  They have over 100 years of combined playing experience.  The band provides scorching, high energy Blues that spans decades.   One producer called it " a very cool blend of Chicago and Austin styles".  This band is a real crowd pleaser.

Fronted by Gregg Tucker, the harmonica playing, saxophone blowing vocalist. His showmanship is second to none.  Gregg is flanked by two excellent guitar players who posses different yet complimentary styles.  Dan Schommer  plays with a blistering style influenced by such great artists as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, and Jimi Hendrix.  Paul Carter has a  style that digs deep into the roots of the blues.  Players such as B.B. King, Albert Collins and Muddy Waters have been some of his major influences.  Dennis Benn is on drums and Trent Naumann is on the Fender bass.  Together they create an impeccable blues groove that "rips up the road" when it needs to - but can also bring you to your knees.  Each member of the band contributes a different vocal style giving Back Alley a truly unique sound.  Playing Blues is not their job -- It’s their Passion!!

But why the blues?  Why not some hip-hop, dance crazy, can't miss with the ladies stuff??  To Back Alley it's simple - because at the end of the day - Blues is what started it all.  There are so many good tunes that people don't get to hear.  We play them.  Be it slow, shuffle or jump blues it moves a person in a way no other form of music can.  If you're a Blues fan, come and see a show.  If you provide entertainment, hire Back Alley.  In either case you won't be disappointed.   As I said before - this band is a real crowd pleaser!!
