History of Blues Gone South
BGS live in San Clemente, CA Welcome!... Soon this site will be dedicated to the history of Blues Gone South, a Blues/Rock band that went from a garage in Chino, California to the stages of some of Southern California's premier clubs. Once completed--this site will highlight everything from the birth of the band to the "over-zealous makeover"-- Mij Rium ...stay tuned!




In the meantime go visit the new site, our reincarnation... NakedFame



Band Profile...

Blues Gone South was formed February 1996, before the Band was formed each of us had played in other bands and had been involved in music for nearly half of our lives--which is a pretty long time considering our ages range from 37 to 49.

Musical Focus:
Reinterpret "blues standards" & "undiscovered blues-based music", with classic ROCK hits from the 60's & 70's hence "Gone South". We play Swing's, Shuffle's & Straight-eighth's-- we're a "Rockin' Tour of Blues Music and Beyond"

Musical Influences:
Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Howlin' Wolf, Elmore James, B.B. King, Freddy King, Albert King, John Mayall, Eric Clapton, Allman Bros., Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Tommy Castro Band, Roomful of Blues, Tom Waits, ZZ Top,...

Listen to us play (MP3 sound bites):
1)Crossroads 2)You Upset Me Baby
