New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Nominated for the Sammy Awards Best Blues Recording 2009 and 2010 In Syracuse, NY.. The
Double Barrel Blues Band is a modern blues group taking traditional blues and rock n' roll and giving birth to an new era in music. Their signature double guitar sound (Mark Cloutier and John Hart) is well known in music circles. There is no mistaking the intensity and vibe that is created by this band...Garnet Grimm and Bill Satterly hold it down nicely as this band swings and rocks and whispers those blues!
Mark is well known for his guitar slinging ways. His songwriting style delivers such a soulful sound. He has released many guitar instrumentals, one being "Wings of Fire" which was nominated in the Blues category in Syracuse, New York for the Sammy Awards Best Blues Recording 2011.
Mwe3 Guitar Magazine writes::
"Cloutier is a guitarist sounding clearly inspired by rock guitar greats like
Jimi Hendrix and
Johnny Winter as well as more traditional blues, R&B and jazz guitarists as diverse as
Buddy Guy, Steve Cropper,
Robin Trower and Kenny Burrell. In other words, Cloutier is a guitarist who's not afraid to break through with a hard rock riff before moving on to jazzing things up when he has to."
John Hart's splendid song writing and unique singing style (not to mention his swinging guitar groove and slide work) helps make this band one of a kind. He seems to have lived every note he sings and helps bring a rock n roll influence that adds on to an already cool blues rock vibe! .
