One of the area's best traditional blues bands playing "Blues for Grown-Ups"! Bret's opened for B.B. King, Koko Taylor & Junior Wells!
What they're saying ...
"Back in 1967, Bret Littlehales (AKA Big Boy Little) was THE harmonica man! He not only played like a demon, but knew more about blues music than anybody else. He was a major influence on shaping the Washington blues scene back then & he's still playing the real 100%, low down & dirty blues to this day." - Bobby Radcliff
"These guys play blues for grown-ups." - Bill Kirchen
"Bret and I were rivals in 1967 for top dog local harp guys. I did Bret the favor of leaving town and he and Bobby Radcliff formed the Northside Blues Band, the prototype DC whiteboy blues band. I returned to DC in 1972 and started the Nighthawks. Now Bret's back. I guess I better tighten up." - Mark Wenner of The Nighthawks
"This guy's a real blues player." - Huey Lewis of The News
Matt Kelley, "a stunning young guitarist-singer" - Washington Post
