Bio / Background
Norman Pingrey plays bass. He served his apprenticeship as a bluesman in the Bay Area between 1988 and 1995 as a member of both T.W. Henderson and Big Time and Deacon Jones and The Bucket of Blues. During this period he jammed with John Lee Hooker and performed warm-ups for John Lee Hooker, Elvin Bishop, and Joe Louis Walker, among others. In 1995 he traveled to Ireland with T. W. Henderson and Archie Hooker (John's nephew) where he performed concert and club dates. Norman has incorporated some of the best musician into The Oozie Blues Band.
Mr. Blues singer He was born in Texas and moved to Los Angeles in his youth. He was a regular at various clubs in the South Central Blues Scene for approximately thirty years.

↓ more ↓DeRouen a new member to the band but not so new to R&B and the Blues has a list of credits that goes on forever. Here are just a few; Big Joe Turner, Pee Wee Crayton, Big Mama Thornton, The Drifters, The Platters, George Harmonica Smith, The Shirelles, Ben E. King, Percy Mayfield, Joe Houston and so many more. He is known as "Big T" throughout the Los Angeles R&B & blues community.
Johnny "D" Also a veteran of the South Central Blues Scene. He has performed with many great artist including Albert King, Smokey Wilson, Lowell Fulson, John Lee Hooker, Deacon Jones, The Drifiters and the list goes on.
Elliott Chaver's has always played Jazz, but began to find that there was a growing audience in Rhythm 'n Blues. His musical style began to synthesize these two musical forms to create his own inimitble sound of Jazzy Blues. Chaver's sultry sax fueled hits to the top of the charts three times in his career: "Butter Beans", "Fool Fool Fool", and "Rock My Soul".
Elliott formed his own band in the mid-sixties, and led the house band at the legendary 5-4 Ballroom near L.A.'s storied Central Avenue for many years. While at the 5-4, he backed many great artists, including T-Bone Walker, Lloyd Price, Lil' Jr. Parker, Freddie King, and Jimmie Reed. He has also played with greats such as Pee Wee Crayton, Roy Milton and the Johnny Otis Orchestra. The list goes on.
Elliott has always been known for his "Big Texas Tenor" sound, but it was quite by accident that his singing career began. While appearing with Sam Cooke, in Phoenix Arizona, Sam was late, there was no one else in the band that could sing. Elliott stepped up and a "Star was born".
Since the resurgence of Gospel, few artists have equaled the successes of Elliott Chavers. His career spans four decades with credits reading like the Rhythm N' Blues Hall of Fame.
