Uncle Shoehorn also proudly performs a solid catalog of blues music including Delta-style blues from Robert Johnson, Eric Clapton and Muddy Waters to Chicago blues from Butterfield Blues Band, Son Seals, Magic Sam, Little Milton and many more.
The band is known and loved by its devoted fans for exceptional improvisational ability and lead guitar prowess – taking the jams to ecstatic heights – and for polished, soaring, three- and four- part vocal harmonies. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young songs, selections from the Band, the Eagles and other vocal groups provide outlet for Shoehorn’s love of vocal harmony.
