"Evan Thomas has that thang. It’s in his inner soul, and that feeling which captures a down-home essence, the foot-stompin’, and head–nodding style, of the old Mississippi delta and  Chicago Blues. It’s the grit, in his soulful voice and his cryin’ guitar which sets him apart. Evan Thomas’s classic, electric blues guitar style, is influenced by some of the great guitar players of our time. The Evan Thomas Blues Band also features Wally Schnalle on drums, George Franklin on Bass, and Noel Catura on Sax. The Band is experienced and packs a potent performance, full of style and tone. Something fans of the Blues will not soon forget. This energetic and High Energy Funky Soulful Blues Band has opened for Great Acts such as Curtis Salgado, Tommy Castro, Daniel Castro, and Tia Carroll."

"Throughout the course of their musical union, the members of The FloorShakers have won over the hearts of music lovers from all walks of life. Through their high-energy performances at a variety of venues and public appearances, this talented band has earned the admiration and affection of critics and fans alike."
