Rx
Blues Band
The
RX Blues Band was
formed in 1992 by two doctors from Highland, Illinois and has
evolved into one of the premier original music acts in The St.
Louis Metro Area. The only original member left, Dr. Jose Diaz,
is a surgeon by day but a blues guitarist at night. The current
lineup consists of Jeff Davis - Bass and Lead Vocalist; Al Winkeler
- Guitar, Vocals, And Harp; Gwyddon Kelly - Lead Vocalist; Ray
Tomkins - Lead Vocalist; and 18 Year Old Triple Threat Cory Shaeffer
- Guitar, Keyboards, and Saxophone. In 1997, they released their
debut CD, "Rainy Days", on the Kode Blue record label, which has
received airplay not only locally but also in New Zealand and
Europe. Their New CD, "Mississippi Moses" was released in December
of 1998, contains 14 all original Blues based songs, and is available
at most music stores in the St. Louis area through Blue Sky distributors.
The song "Big Head Franklin" was recently included in a compilation
CD for Elite Entertainment along with soundtracks from acts such
as Roomful of Blues and Tommy Castro. The new CD is receiving
air play in Europe and it has received strong reviews, particularly
in the recent Kansas City Blues Society newsletter. For Bookings
