Left Lane Cruiser

From the venue:

Headed by singer/guitarist Freddy J IV with Brenn “Sausage Paw” Beck, Left Lane Cruiser is a bona fide blues rock band from the American Midwest. Left Lane Cruiser has been genuinely living the blues for over a decade, bringing its freestyle jams to crowds all over the world.

Shake and Bake, the band’s latest album, was cooked up in a van rolling heavy on the highway, headed by two baked and juiced musicians, veering across the lines, desperately steering towards rest and redemption at the nearest parking lot. It is a record about the juice that keeps the crowd dancing, the smoke that keeps the minds lifted. This is as real it gets.

Recorded “old school” analog by Jason Davis in his Fort Wayne studio, and with an album cover by legendary artist William Stout (Ramones, Fred McDowell, Iggy Pop), Shake and Bake has a heavy sound and a big heart. For Left Lane Cruiser the blues is enduring and easy to feel.

Personnel on Shake and Bake: Freddy J IV, guitar, vocals, bass; Pete Dio, drums, percussion.
