ABOUT L.A. BLUES

Blues means various things to different people; but we mean heavy duty intense screaming blues or hard driving shuffle blues from past decades. One musician who has been playing hard blues since 1950 and makes it his mission to represent this style in its original form is Lloyd Miller who learned blues in L.A. and jammed in Watts in the 50s. Miller founded L.A. Blues to meet a need for this musical style in Utah.
