Rockin'est little Blues Band to come Rollin' into town

All veterans of studio and live performing, these road dogs don't know the meaning of stopping, “we play cuz we love it”. There is no bigger thrill to any of us than playing to a crowd of people songs we have written, recorded, and watching those fans dance, whistle, yell, just getting down to boogie. And then to hear those folks singing the words back to you, letting you know they have been listening...everyone wants to be heard and this lets us know we have.

Gordy Howe is the Bass player out of Blues heaven as is his partner in rhythm, drummer J.R. Rios, and myself, the lucky guy who gets to front these fantastic musicians singing and playing guitar, Larry "Weezil Malone".

Press:
"With a voice that recalls Magic Dick of the J. Geils Band or Rick Estrin of Little Charlie & the Nightcats, Malone presides over an instrumental mix which includes his stinging guitar, adding heat to a solid rhythm section. He can carry a laidback tune adding the right embellishments to bring the song to life, or get a growl down and dirty as a product of years of smoky rock and roll houses where the rules are, the meaner the better"
Mark Smith-West Michigan Blues Society.

"You have a lot of personality in your music and are a real talent as a songwriter. Real tasty slide playing..." Bruce Iglauer- Alligator Records

Playing and singing with real gut feelings and a sense of sharing gives Weez an extra bond with an audience. He has that special something that allows him to reach into and grab his feelings from within and than send them out to the crowd through his guitar and vocals. A humble, but not shy person, makes him likable and believable as he sings stories about his colorful past, current life experiences, and stories of those around him.

"Life is to be shared, that's what love is", and Weez is not afraid to share it. He has brought his philosophy to the band and they have all adopted it..........PEACE IN THE BLUES.

“Weezil Malone has compiled a CD that, to date, has revealed a most telling tale of the scope and extent of his imaginative capabilities. Larry Fitz (a.k.a. Weezil Malone) has penned 11 handcrafted originals in this, the latest release, entitled “Everything’s Good”. Starting with the disc’s first cut, “Two in the Morning”, a get out of your chair and boogie jumper, that effectively employs some rather stylish rock hooks, you sense there is something special going on here. Malone’s haunting “Thirty Days”, harks back to primal recording effects found on long forgotten rockabilly LPs of the 50’s. From his opening licks on the first track “Two in the Morning”, to his finely tuned embellishments on the cut “Wild and Free”, one can understandably surmise why Weezil is considered one of the premiere blues writers in the Mid-West.

Weezil Malone has again reinvented himsel, transforming his band into a musical unit that is taking taking the blues genre into a new”
