Tip of The Top's debut CD "Depot Street Blues", which has been well received by both fans and blues music critics, is but a small sampling of the many musical styles that you will experience at a live show. The music from the 1950s has had many different names - it has been called the blues, rock 'n' roll and rhythm and blues. But no matter what you call it, Tip of The Top brings this music to life like few other bands. It is rare to hear a band that plays with this much skill and finesse. Tip of The Top shows that even oft-covered blues tunes can gain new life when the band listens to each other and plays as an ensemble, eschewing endless solos and screaming guitars.

Personnel: Jon "Little Jonny" Lawton (guitar, vocals); Aki Kumar (harmonica, vocals); Frank DeRose (bass); Carlos Velasco (drums).

Tip Of The Top - 2 albums: From Memphis To Greaseland / Rock Tonight

Who says the good old days of the blues are over? "This music isn't long gone; it's alive and happening right here and now in Northern California! " says blues guitar virtuoso Kid Andersen. He's talking about Tip of the Top, the San Francisco Bay Area band that has taken the blues scene by storm since 2009.

The band's musical style is reminiscent of the 1950's. Their live show delivers all the primitive pulsating rhythms, repetitive chord changes and gritty amplification that defines early American Rock 'n' Roll. But these bluesmen are no mere imitators. They feel this music to their core. They represent it with 100% authentic personal expression and deliver it with emotionally charged energy.

Tip of the Top's debut CD, Depot Street Blues, and their second release, Rock Tonight, received rave reviews from fans and blues critics alike. Their latest release From Memphis To Greaseland features some of the band's finest original work and their unique, spontaneous take on blues classics. Engineered and produced at the world-famous Greaseland Studios in Campbell, California, this album is a MUST HAVE for any serious blues afficionado!
