in delta blues.
Band Winner
Vox Squadron
Bootleggers of organic free-range gluten-free blues rock from just across the westward state line. Hand crafted original tunes that go down smoothly with just a hint of aromatic notes that are equal parts Vaughn, Hendrix, Wilco, and Madonna. Hailing from Tahlequah Oklahoma this 4-piece outfit is lead by Jack Myers on guitar; and accompanied by Richard Wood on bass, Aaron Lee on Keys, and Jacob Martin on Drums. Myers was edumacated at the University of Arkansas and is a semi-professional goat farmer who also practices surgery on humans in his free time. Wood is a living Rembrandt on stilts and scaffolds who has no fear of heights, or anything else for that matter. Lee is a professional wizard of computers and anything electronic. Martin is a collegiate jazz student drummer and if you’re wondering what a jazz drummer is doing with us... so are we. The Vox Squadron is on a mission to melt your face with blues infused dad rock... or die trying.
