The defining blues CD by Shafran and Klegseth, the founders of The RedHot Blues. This is somewhere between Chicago and Texas blues, with great songwriting and the kinds of performances that kept them touring fifteen years.
During that time they have put out three releases on BlueSong Records, each clearly identifying a more distinctive voice and sound. Their third release, Relentless Blues, marked the introduction of The Shafran-Klegseth Band (SKB), although the band continues to perform as The RedHot Blues upon demand as well. From their first gig, January 1, 1992, the band made a name from intense shows and great material. The word spread and landed the band gigs with artists like The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Buckwheat Zydeco, Guitar Shorty, Steve Morse, and Les Dudek. The band became staples on the western blues circuit, playing premiere blues venues like The House of Blues, B.B. King's Blues Club, The Zephyr Club, The Coach House and The Blue Note, and became popular on the festival circuit including The Omaha Blues Festival, San Diego Street Scene, and headlining performances at the Las Vegas Blues Festival. 1998 found the band in Japan on tour as well.
"The band is comprised of Shafran on vocals and Klegseth on guitar, and these partners are well suited to each other. There is a tangible intensity in the performance style of both Shafran and Klegseth. Each man is able to say volumes with their own particular instrument. Shafran's vocals were packed with so much emotion, it sounded like his chords were going to shatter at any moment. Klegseth's guitar work was not only technically outstanding, but he really connected emotionally with the audience through his guitar."
