ABOUT

Blues Brats

The Blues Brats are a mix of blues based rock, funk, fusion, soul, with twists of Latin rhythms, blues chops and a hair band vibe. Their live stage craft is delivered with passion, soul and sacrifice. The trio takes the audience on tours of life, love and emotion, through obvious heartaches and personal experiences. The show is full of soaring guitar solo's and a solid rhythm section that holds down the beat. The BluesBrats are a profound blues rock power trio. An extremely tight band made up of only 3 members. On lead guitar is Donnie Reinhold, a 25 year veteran of the blues. He has been in countless bands that ranged from 80's hair band days to classic rock and modern rock. Donnie's greatest influence, clearly heard in his playing, is Jimi Hendrix, among of a multitude of influences ranging from; Steve Gains, Dicky Betts, Clapton, Carlos Santana, Frank Marino, Buddy Guy, Jr. Wells, B.B. King, Muddy Waters, and the endless list of the many legends.
On drums is Don Reinhold's prodigy son..Jermery Reinhold, an experienced drummer and skilled guitarist, a solid heavy handed player with roots undeniably in the blues funk and metal genre, influences range from Dave Lombardo, Jon Fishman to Buddy Rich. On Bass guitar is Donnie's nephew, Kristopher Thurlow; a true gentleman musician. An accomplished guitar player was willing to set the instrument aside to fill the much needed position as Bass player for the band. Kris's influences range from The Black Crowes, Hank Williams III, Johnny Cash and Lemmy from Motorhead.
The Blues Brats have over 50 produced and copy written songs, blended with a mix of classic covers done up in their own unique style. The BluesBrats guarantee complete attention from the audience; if you’re lucky, you may catch some guitar theatrics from Donny, such as, bouncing his guitar off his cuff links or ripping an original solo with his teeth. The dance floor is always hoping and fills up quickly.
