Pittsburgh Blues with great tone.

“Guaranteed excitement for fans of straight-ahead blues guitar”    Blues Revue Magazine

“Adler romps, jumps and wails… with infectious dynamism. His playing slides and swings… and you might hear suggestions of Joe Cocker or Dr. John when Adler vocally lets loose. The band clearly knows how to boogie and swing.” Gordon Spencer, Pittsburgh Magazine
