Good one cheers "JB" Bentley hails from Alabama but has been in Washington for more than half his life. Despite being the lead guitarist for Attitude and The Blues Torpedoes, he started playing the guitar late. JB started as a drummer in 1970 for a number of local bands. Playing with Kevin Wire, Tim Hogan, Bob Hoskins. In the late 70s, JB left the music scene for six years and reappeared in 1982 with the cover band Out of Hand. It featured Mel Buechel with vocals, Rick Wickman on the keys, Tim Hogan on the bass and Gary Gilbert on the guitar. Then in 1985, JB moved to California and Wisconsin for 5 years. It was at this time that he began to play more guitar and attend blues jams. The JB blues fan has always preferred rock ... Clapton, Zeppelin, ZZ Top and Hendrix.
In early 1993, JB and Mel started making jams to find players, and in the summer of '93, The Blues Torpedoes played their first club concert with Gary Broers on rhythm guitar and vocals, Thurman Smith on bass, Vince Puntinay on drums. At the end of 94, JB met and asked T.Bone to join the torpedoes. The Torps has been playing for about 11 years across the Northwest and has recorded two CDs. In 1995, with the help of Sonny Julian, The Torps began promoting national blues acts. The group included Tab Beniot, Debbie Davies, Studebaker John, James Harman, Mark Hummel, Duffy Bishop, Too Slim and the Trialdraggers, Little Charlie and the Nightcats, John Hammond.
