New CD Info!

ad Influence, the premier Washington, DC band, has been playing their brand of blues-infused, high energy music since the humble beginnings in 1988.

Ever-growing crowds turn out for the band's scorching hot and sinfully addicting blues-infused fare, charged with a masterful blend of sensuously rough edges wrapped in soulful smoothness, riveting rock currents and potent shots of swing and American roots. All this is signed, sealed and delivered in a suggestive, in-your-face finesse captivating even the most stoic of mind, body and spirit.

The award-winning Bad Influence features Bob Mallardi on bass and vocals; Hohner endorsed artist Roger Edsall on harp and vocals; Epiphone endorsed artist Michael "Jr" Tash on guitar and vocals; and Sonor endorsed David Thaler on the drums.

The new CD, Under The Influence was released in September 2011. This disc features the band along with White Loafer Mark Stevens on piano, guitarists Jay Monterose & John Ware and Tom Ruggieri on the sax. Check out the Order Page for more details.
