Details:
Take three musicians from three different musical backgrounds (metal, rock, country/pop) and age groups (20s, 30s, and 40s), and bring them together to play blues based music, and what do you get? II Ton Heavy Thing.

What is II Ton Heavy Thing? Blues-based music that is too heavy to be traditional Blues. Rock music that is âbluesierâ than todayâs radio friendly Rock. II Ton Heavy Thing is: âBlues/Rock emanating from the epicenter of corn and soybeans somewhere in between Memphis and Chicago.â

II Ton Heavy Thingâs original music rides the Texas Blues/Rock/Southern Rock fence. While comparisons are easily founded, II Ton Heavy Thing is difficult to pigeonhole.

"Well Enough Alone" is a groovin rocker in the Texas Blues style. "Stoplight" captures the changes of small town life. "I Do What I Want" leans towards Blues Traveler. "Always Believed in You" slows things down a bit. "Transparent" evokes texas style blues guitar. "Johnny" calls upon the smoky guitar and story telling in the Southern Rock vein.

Why II Ton Heavy Thing? Freedom. II Ton Heavy Thing crosses musical boundaries. It crosses generations. It brings people from different backgrounds together at a single, common denominator â blues-based music.
