Mac Arnold & Plate Full O' Blues

http://www.montychandler.com/Musicians.htm

Mac Arnold & Plate Full O' Blues are a band out of South Carolina who in late 2005 won the Charlotte Blues Society (CBS) "blues contest" and as such will be sponsored by the CBS in the 22nd International Blues Challenge to be held in Memphis in Jan 2006 - which Mac has adamantly stated they will WIN!!.

Mac has a long history in the world of Blues, spending a great deal of time in Chicago playing Bass with the likes of Muddy Waters, B.B. King and The Temptations.

The band consists of Mark McMakin on bass and vocals; Austin Brashier on guitar and vocals; Max Hightower on keyboards, harmonica and guitar; and Mike Whitt on drums.

Mac credits Max Hightower with the patience, wisdom and perseverance it took to pull this band together. The band agreed that the patience required to wait until it could all come together was well worth it, as they have found the sound they like with some extremely talented musicians who are equally passionate about their music and the blues.

Having come up with the band name through natural connection realized in eating loads of Mac's cooking and considering the surgical utensils implanted in Mac over the years - Plate Full O' Blues stuck. The name is very appropriate as the band serves up heaping helpings of old fashion, down to earth blues with a definitive Chicago blues style in keeping with Mac's roots in blues music.

Hope you get a chance to check out this wonderful blues band..... You'll be glad you did...
