Milwaukee’s powerhouse Altered Five Blues Band returns with their eighth studio album, Hammer & Chisel, a simmering set of eleven original songs that showcase why this award-winning group has remained at the forefront of contemporary blues for over two decades. Belted out with gusto by singer Jeff Taylor, each track crackles with the energy of a band firing on all cylinders—tight musicianship, razor-sharp guitar work, and witty lyrics that cut straight to the bone. From the opening salvo of the funky, horn-driven “I Got It Good” through the cautionary “Who Can You Trust” to the empowering closing statement of “The Will of Man,” the album demonstrates the kind of top-notch performance that can only come from five musicians who’ve spent 24 years honing their collective sound. Produced by multi-GRAMMY winner Tom Hambridge and featuring guest harmonica ace Jason Ricci on three tracks, Hammer & Chisel captures the band at their peak.

The Blood Brothers are back with Help Yourself, their sophomore studio album and their most explosive release to date, dropping on September 19, 2025, via renowned Blues Label Gulf Coast Records! This album brings the band’s signature Blues, Soul, and Rock energy to soaring new heights.

Following the chart-topping success of their debut Blood Brothers, blues rock heavyweights Mike Zito and Albert Castiglia return with Help Yourself, a fiery, soul-soaked studio album that captures the raw chemistry, camaraderie, and powerhouse energy that defines their live shows. Hot off the road, the band cut this record at Shock City Studios in St. Louis. Help Yourself is a masterclass in contemporary electric blues with a fearless rock & roll edge. This isn’t just a record, it’s a live-wire session that puts you right in the room with two of the genre’s most respected artists and their all-star band.

Quinn rose to prominence in the mid 2000’s and continues to amaze audiences worldwide.  He gained national attention with appearances on afternoon and late-night television shows (the likes of The Tonight Show, Ellen, Jimmy Kimmell, and  Conan O’Brian). In 2007 Quinn met music legend Buddy Guy who invited him onstage and would later invite him to tour as his support and record with him throughout the next decade.

Over the years Quinn has evolved from a remarkable young talent into a mature, emotive artist known for blending blues, rock, and classic influences. His personal journey profoundly influences his music and his stage performance reflecting years of growth and emotional depth shaped by life experiences including personal loss and soulful introspection.
