Blue Cats

 The Blue Cats are veteran blues/rock/jazz musicians: Rick Collura (elec. guitar), Terry Finneran (keys, vocals, blues harp, flute), Aaron Scott on percussion, and Scott Bach (electric bass).  This quartet unites to bring you energy intensive, yet volume controlled original “blues-infused” arrangements of favorites from their musical hip pockets including straight blues, Traffic, Clapton, Dylan, Santana, Van Morrison, et al. Their experiences include extended support time with local favorites (Willie Pooch, Tyler, Jim Lynch, Tony Monaco, Dave Workman, Bob Allen, Tom Carrol, Hank Marr, Dave Powers, et al) as well as on stage experience with a variety of national acts including James Brown, Albert King, Luther Allison, Johnny Winter, Tom Scott, Leo Kotke, Dane Donahue, etc., etc.
