The Blues - Washington, DC Style
Bad Influence, the premier Washington, DC band, has been playing their style of blues-infused, high energy music since 1988.
Ever-growing crowds turn out for the band's scorching hot and sinfully addicting shows, which are charged with a masterful blend of sensuously rough edges wrapped in soulful smoothness, riveting rock currents and potent shots of swing and American roots music. All this is signed, sealed and delivered in a suggestive, in-your-face style guaranteed to captivate 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 artist David Thaler on the drums.
The Bad Influence Band's newest CD, Under The Influence, was a B.B. King's Bluesville, SiriusXM 70 Pick to Click! Not only was this album a finalist in the International Blues Challenge for Best Self Produced Recording, it was nominated by the Washignton Area Music Association for Best Blues Recording of 2012. The album has been getting a lot of airplay on satellite and terrestrial radio alike. But you don't have to wait to hear it on the radio!
