Blues and Rock had a baby and thats what we play says the bands frontman Kurtis Dengler.
Their music has been featured several times on 92.9 FM, KISMs Locals Only in 2005 & '06. In 2005 the band performed at the Mount Baker Blues Festival, the Darrington Rock Festival and the Napavine Amphitheater, sharing the stage with rock and blues greats such as Ted Nugent, Dave Hole, Eric Sardinas, Incognito, David Lindley, The Fixx, Rick Derringer, Brett Michaels, and Howard Leese of Heart, who describes Kurtis as A new young gun.the soul man. This year they are touring the northwest and playing gigs such as the Portland Waterfront Blues Festival, Winthrop Rhythm and Blues Festival, and are ending the tour with Bumbershoot.
ESB recently signed with veteran manager Chris Crawford who states "These guys are my favorite band next to long time friend and client Paul Rodgers of Bad Company, Free, and currently fronting Queen + Paul Rodgers. The bands self-titled CD, which was released locally in July, will take you on a tasty, soulful, journey laced with a combination of riffs and backbeats and filled with a lot of heart and soul."
