Growing up in Orange and LA County, these California natives were exposed to everything from classic rock, rockabilly, punk rock, country and of course the blues. Blues had a special attraction to them and over the years they have developed a sound that is appreciated by blues lovers and people new to the genre.
The name “Juke Joint Preachers” came about as they preached the joys and sorrows of blues music and its history to anyone that would listen, which as it turns out, is a rapidly growing fan base. They are a high energy blues band now based in Orange County, CA . Lead by harp player/singer Merv "Juke Joint" Anderson with guitarist Kenny Rodriguez, drummer Bob McBurney and bassist Jason Brown.
These band members have shared the stage or played with some of the greats like BB King, Bobby Rush, Tab Benoit, Guitar Shorty, James Harmon, and many more. Gracing the many stages, club venues and festivals in Southern California.
The key word to describe them is FUN!! They bring with them an energetic party every time they hit the stage. With influences ranging from Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters to the infamous 90s' Blues band The Red Devils. These guys are seriously a good time.
