Details:
Slaughterhouse Blues started in the spring of 2002 and was formed by accident at the Blues Society of Central PA’s blues jam at the Lochiel hotel. At the Lochiel “jammers” sign a list and are then called to the stage in the order that they have signed up. The five original members of Slaughterhouse Blues jammed for the first time as a group at the Lochiel. After our four song set it was evident that a band was formed. Within days we started practicing weekly and quickly began gigging. In the beginning Slaughterhouse Blues had a two-guitar attack. Unfortunately Dan Mowery, one of our original guitar players, soon after relocated to Florida to go to recording school. We have been a four-piece band since his departure.
The heart of Slaughterhouse Blues is its rhythm section. Blaine Weisser on bass guitar and Tom Dawes on drums. Blaine and Tom started playing together in their first band while in high school. They have been playing together on and off for over 30 years now and have finally produced their first recording together with the release of our new self-titled CD. Jason Suter, who has been playing locally for that past 6 or 7 years, handles the guitar responsibilities in the band. Tony “T-Bone” Formica, who has sung for many area bands, fronts the band. All members of Slaughterhouse Blues have played in many other successful local bands. However, this band provides everyone an opportunity to play the music they love.
For our live shows Slaughterhouse often bills the band as a “blues influenced jam band”. We do this as to not mislead people into thinking this is a traditional Chicago, Delta, or other type of traditional blues band. This is the Slaughterhouse Blues, we like to jam, and we like to play music in a way that we find enjoyable. It is very important to us that our audiences enjoy our music and that we enjoy playing it. That being said, Slaughterhouse Blues has the highest amount of respect for the blues tradition. We study the founders of the music and hold in high regard those that are continually trying to preserve this wonderful art form.
In the winter of 2006 Slaughterhouse Blues recorded and released our second CD entitled Evil Skies. We are very proud of this effort and hope all who listen enjoy it as much as we did recording it. We hope that this recording will open new doors for us and help us take our music to a larger fan base that appreciates what we are doing.
