February 19, 2017 (San Diego’s East County) – The Baja Blues Boys have announced a spring performance schedule that includes appearances at inland venues in Santa Ysabel, La Mesa, Ramona and Poway.
The Southern California band has been playing acoustic blues and American roots music since 1998. The group started as a duo with guitarist/vocalist Tim Atkins and Andre Perreault, harmonica player and vocalist. Baja Blues Boys also appear as a 4 or 5-piece electric blues band with a drummer and standup bass and sometimes a second guitar or saxophone.
Tim Atkins is a Southern California native and got his first guitar at the age of eight. He lists Muddy Waters, Son House, Big Joe Williams and John Hurt as influences and inspirations.
Andre Perrault was born in Montreal, Canada but grew up in the Los Angeles area. He is influenced by such blues harmonica greats as James Cotton, Little Walter, Little Sammy Davis and Will Clarke.
"Gone Away, Someday," their CD, was released in July 2009 and includes 14 original tracks. Recently the song "Roof of Hell" was awarded the Silver Medal in the San Diego Songwriters Guild's Performing Songwriters Contest.
