WSNB, from the Western North Carolina foothills, is Willie Shane Johnston (vocals & harp), Clay Ford (bass), Jason Gardner (drums) and Nathan "Big Daddy" Brown (guitars). Formed in May 2006, WSNB is giving new life to an old style. WSNB is rock solid blues, sometimes heavy rock-and-roll. The music has that Delta blues feel with Willie Shane's growling voice hitting you all the way from his native Mississippi. His harmonica style is unique and the combination of his harp and Nathan's slide work is a breath of fresh air. Nathan's range of skill, dynamics and taste, sets him apart from many of today's guitar players. The hard driving rhythm section of Jason and Clay is steady and persistent, like the pistons of a big block engine. The lyrics are intelligent, sometimes witty, and cover subjects from lust, love, and insanity to the war in Iraq. WSNB's unique lyrics and homespun style of music is straight from soul goodness. Like a train coming through your front door, WSNB will make your hips shake, your feet move, and your big toe jump up in yo' boot. WSNB was a Top 10 Finalist at the 2007 International Blues Challenge held in Memphis, TN on February 1-3, 2007 and just released their debut CD, Jomo Swamp Root Boogie.
