The Blues Hounds were one of the best known Blues bands in Japan for over 12 years, opening for top visiting pro performers, as well as headlining their own major events, & doing some international touring. Harold's played on the stages of 8 countries, as well as being featured on the radio & TV in 4 countries.
Harold returned to the U.S. in 2011, & has establish the U.S. version of this top-notch, professional-attitude Blues band in the Columbus, Ohio area.
The cover-songs of the Blues Hounds repertoire are specifically chosen to be some of the coolest Blues songs around, & NOT standard "chestnut" jam-band style Blues songs.
Any potential new members should have experience playing BLUES music (shuffles, straight-8, slow blues, etc.), & be aware of standard Blues phrases, turn-arounds, & closings for songs.
Although the band members all have day jobs, this band looks at itself as a no-nonsense, professional undertaking, offering consistent, upbeat, top-shelf performances.
(Therefore, NO ego, punctuality, or substance-abuse issues will be tolerated from band members).
Influences
Our influences are the artists who made some of the coolest & funkiest Blues music ever, with a big horn-line & a Hammond B-3 organ sound, in the flavor of late-60's Stax Records:
Albert King, Otis Rush, Albert Collins, Jr. Wells, & Freddie King, as well as Lucky Peterson, Ray Charles, Roomful Of Horns, Delbert McClinton, etc.
