Tommy Thunderfoot and The Accelerators bridge the gap between early bluesmen of the 1900's and the 21st century sound of modern electric blues. Thunderfoot seems perfectly comfortable in both time periods, and every evolutionary blues step between. Performing classic blues and original songs that you feel you've heard before, you'll experience love, heartbreak, excitement, joy, sadness, and inspiration during the course of an evening. What you won't experience is disappointment. This is the blues, this is rock and roll, this is what good music is all about.
"Classic, soul-spewing, heartbreaking, foot-stomping blues..." -- Matthew Godbey, The Post and Courier

"Hendrix inspired him to play, but a teacher encouraged listening to the work of bluesmen. As a teen, Holt was invited onstage with Buddy Guy. Years later, he joined Guy’s band, playing with them for a decade.
In their live show, Scott Holt Band proves that blues playing is both craft and religion. Through years of exposure to different styles and playing backup for music legends, you eventually find your voice."
-- Kathleen Wehle, Performer Magazine
