In an area of southern New Mexico where blues is a rare commodity, the KGB Blues Band offers up a combination of both originally penned tunes and obscure cover tunes. Mixing both Chicago style and Texas blues, the KGB Blues Band is spreading the news about the blues. One of the major strengths of the band is the number of original songs performed. Approximately one half of the repertoire is original. The KGB original songs are a blend of swing, jump, jazz, and down home blues. All members of the KGB contribute to the compositions. Some of the biggest crowd pleasers have become known as "girl songs" (blues from the female perspective). Lead guitarist Gary Stamper has 34 years playing experience with most of these years focused on blues and rhythm and blues. His smooth style and clear sweet guitar tones are a KGB trademark. Lead vocalist and keyboardist Kathy Stamper's powerful vocals and expressive delivery captures the audience from the first song. Her "girl songs" (both original and cover tunes) are responsible for this part of the band's popularity. Another unique aspect of the KGB is Tami Foor. It is unusual for bands to have two females but even more unusual when one of those is the drummer. Tami's backbeat is very simply blues inspired. Steve Sandy lays down some of the most solid blues bass lines around. Steve describes his job in the band as, "keepin' it on the bottom where it belongs." He does not subscribe to the "bass in your face" theory. His tone is always solid and clear. Make no mistake, the KGB Blues Band is an original group with an original sound. Although the KGB respects the great blues artists both past and present, the band has built a reputation for a distinctive sound that truly stands on its own in the blues genre. The KGB Blues Band has one musical mission, to bring you the very best in the blues, and nothin' but the blues.
