HORNBUCKLE, “DENVER’S FIRST FAMILY OF THE BLUES” RETURNS HOME FOR 2-MONTH ‘VIRTUE & VICE’ TOUR
Hornbuckle, “Denver’s First Family of the Blues” recently celebrating 20 years together as a band, have come home. The brothers – guitarist/vocalist Michael Hornbuckle and brother, bassist/vocalist Brian Hornbuckle – kick off a two-month ‘Virtue & Vice’ tour of their home state with a show on Friday, May 23 at Dickens Opera House in Longmont (complete itinerary below). Virtue & Vice is the title of their recently-released album to critic’s acclaim.
What the Press is Saying !
“Hornbuckle’s sound is fresh and interesting…on Virtue & Vice these guys have managed to find a way to give the blues a mainstream, pop-driven sound, while at the same time staying true to their bluesy roots. The songs themselves are nothing short of excellent.”
“Not since ZZ Top and Stevie Ray Vaughn has there been a band that could wind a mean bar room boogie and bring the blues home like the Hornbuckle Brothers. Michael & Brian Hornbuckle take their inherited skill and bring serious fire to the front house in Virtue & Vice, their latest, and what will probably be recognized as one of the best new independently produced albums of the year.”
In discussing their new album, Brian Hornbuckle says, “On “Virtue and Vice” we try and cover a lot of ground; sixteen songs of memories, love, lust, protest and personal discovery. We really tried to infuse as many influences as possible while still keeping continuity from song to song. We did some reggae in “Complicated”, funk in “Slave to the Benjamins,” a Latin feel on “Moment In Time” and a 70’s rock feel in “Ride Away”. All of it injected with the blues since that is still the main language we speak musically.”
