THE BAND

Lil' Bastad - The tongue in cheek name is synonymous with the winning humor and unique style that instantly connects their music with their audiences.   This five piece blues based band formed in 1999 through their musicianship and great love for the Blues, R&B and Funk. Lil' Bastad combines formal "old school" style and their own contemporary feel to form a winning musical balance.

Ever since Lil' Bastad's beginnings ("Hoot'n & Holler'n") they've held true to their funky rhythm & blues roots; recently, they've expanded to embrace full-horn section and chicago blues material. Without a doubt the driving creativity of Mark Bowers (Lead Guitar & Vox), as a live performer and studio innovator, is reflected throughout the band ... The other members include: John Pahmer (Keys), Ronald "Boz" Bostick (Bass), Luke Michura (Rhythm Guitar & Vox), Dave Moore (Drums), who lock in syncopated blues compositions that orchestrate a fresh and innovative perpective of listening to Blues, Funk, and R & B.

If you're ever in the mood for an amazing live show, see Lil' Bastad, and experience the rapport the band has with its audience; that's what makes you come back for more ... from Freddy & B.B. King to Jimi Hendrix ... to Robert Cray, Stevie Ray, and George Benson ... their musical influences are "uniquely styled" and this band has "Sumpthin' to Say" !!!
