Buck is the last remaining member of James' original line-up. Sharing the spotlight with James for nearly 15 years, Buck came to the group as an accomplished musician. Buck's roots are in playing the upright bass in a Bluegrass band. His love of the Blues prompted him to devote his talents to this genre. His style is smooth and groovin' until you hit those swingin' tunes. That's when Sweet Pea turns it into a fast-paced, slappin' good time.
Pete is the newest member of the group. While studying for a degree in music, Pete was asked to be a fill-in drummer when the regular drummer could not perform. This lead to a permanent assignment. Pete has been playing drums since he was a young boy. He can keep a steady beat that makes dancing to this band's music a pure pleasure. (Sawdust is a reference to what's left of his sticks at the end of the night).

Troy Amaro has played music for the last 20 years in various stints with both Blues and Jazz groups. With the music of Little Walter being (and still) the reason Troy was drawn to the Blues, he continues to be influenced by both past and modern players who’s main focus is to maintain the real, original, raw, authentic Blues he loves. Troy considers a player’s sound and tone to be just as important as his musical ability and therefore uses only guitars and amps (Victoria Amps, Don Mare pickups) that replicate the 1940’s and 1950’s sounds from the golden era of Blues. Current and past musical and tone influences include, Pee Wee Crayton, T-Bone Walker, Willie Johnson, Luther Tucker, Hollywood Fats, Kid Ramos, Junior Watson and many others.
