Recently one of the hardest working bands took the stage at the Broadway Oyster Bar, Rod Piazza and the Mighty Flyers. Rod Piazza came up as part of the same musical generation as Paul Butterfield -the first generation of white blues fans and players who in the early 1960s were embracing the driving urban blues sounds of post-war Chicago, Memphis, Texas and California. Honey Piazza had the fortune to study with one of the greats, Mr. Otis Spann.

With Rod on vocals and harmonica, Honey on keyboard they demonstrated why they are still one of the hottest Blues acts playing today. Together with longtime Flyer Bill Stuve on electric Kay, bass guitar, acoustic bass, and Henry Carvajal on guitar, Bill Stuve on acoustic upright bass, and Paul Fasulo on drums, they are collectively known as the Mighty Flyers! If you missed this show, don't miss this weekends performance at the Nothing But The Blues Festival - just a short hop to Bloomington, IL.
