With apologies to Cedric Burnside and Lightnin' Malcolm, the two-man wrecking crew known as Left Lane Cruiser is bringing their wild-and-reckless live show to a town somewhere near you. Touring in support of the band's latest CD, All You Can Eat, released by Alive Records, Left Lane Cruiser will kick out the jams with a dozen U.S. shows before heading to Europe for a lengthy tour of the continent.
Formed in the sleepy industrial wasteland of Fort Wayne, Indiana, Left Lane Cruiser consists of slide-guitarist/vocalist Freddie J. Evans IV (a/k/a "Joe") and drummer/madman percussionist Brenn Beck (a/k/a "Sausage Paw"), in whose capable hands even trashcans, metal paint trays, hubcaps, and washboards are just something else on which to beat out a rhythm.
The duo has developed a unique perspective on the classic Mississippi Hill Country sound, and has opened for such icons of the style as Bob Log III and T-Model Ford, as well as the Black Diamond Heavies. Believe me, you'll want to catch this punk-blues phenomena when they freight-train through your backyard.
