Ten Foot PoleCats | Deep Blues Festival III | Goin' Crazy | Live Blues

Off of the their Streno Soup...mmm...Delicious cd... it's no wonder the tail dragger had to stick around to boogie to the TFPC...




The Ten Foot Polecats are a Three piece (no Bass!) Electric Deep Punk Blues leaning toward the Gut Bucket North Mississippi Hill Country sound....even though we are from Massachusetts.




The band (Jay Scheffler (v), Jim Chilson (g), and Dave Darling (d)) has used these influences to create their own sound back through some of the dirty back alley ways, and side street dive bars they play while turning a stagnant room into a crazy southern juke joint vibe.
The release of their debut CD, Sterno Soup, has gotten them local and national acclaim in the blues and alt. blues community throughout the United States and Europe. To date the band has played, or has scheduled dates in Chicago, Indiana, Minnesota, New York City, Oregon, Seattle, and New Mexico, along with the many shows in the Eastern & Central Massachusetts area.
Currently the band is at work on a new CD that is due to be released in late 2009.
Our influences are drawn from:
RL Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, T-Model Ford, Hound Dog Taylor, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Son House, The Black Keys, Blind Willie Johnson, Robert Johnson, Skip James, Jesse Mae Hemphill, Muddy Waters (of course), Willie Dixon, Hubert Sumlin, basically anyone from Northern Mississippi and the Delta
