C'mon out & party with us - we'll be sure to get you out of your seats with some foot-stomping, rhythm & blues, feel good music! |
| Biography The band, originally a four piece rock group formed in the fall of 2008, has had several member and name changes but the two founding guitarists have remained committed. We re-named the band "The Local Suspects" in the winter months of 2009. We added a keyboard player in January 2012 & performed with a lead vocalist until June. In July 2012 we changed our line-up once again & with the added personnel we launched a new musical direction into R&B Party Rock with a little Country/Southern Rock flavor. |
