MATT TOLEDO, vocals:
Early in life, Matt found that growing up as an only child of a single parent coupled with his passion for music and singing, he could tap into the emotion that would become his voice. His musical journey has been deeply impacted by supportive relationships and enduring friendships aiding in his current musical conquest… Blind Like Sam.

TONY LANDRITH, guitars:
Influenced by everything from Willie Nelson, the Cure, Buddy Guy and just about any other type of music genre out there - Tony is always trying to stretch his imagination across the fretboard. Exploring new chords or maybe unusual playing patterns, he uses the guitar as one of the key elements in connecting feelings and sound.

PAUL JACQUES, guitars:
Born and raised in the wild cornfields of Ohio, Paul dreamed of a life in the great wild west of Hollywood and as soon as he could steal a car he was on his way to the Golden State and never looked back. His passion for music has taken him to Metal fotresses and Country hoedowns, but his true love is good old Rock'n Roll, and Funk, and Soul, and Blues, and Folk, and Bluegrass…

Ahh… what the hell, the boy just loves music!!! Be it playing one of his many Guitars, Banjos, Mandolins or Ukeleles - he's just always making some kind of joyful noise surrounded by his backing band of 5 rescue dogs all barking right along with him. Oh yeah, did he mention he likes beer? He likes beer.

KEITH ESPARROS, bass guitars:
Keith emerged from the primordial funk on which the city of New Orleans was built. It is an ooze that rises slowly from the swamp and ultimately becomes the tasty foundation from which sprouts the mythic groove.

It ain't Santeria. It ain't Voodoo. It's bone jarring rhythm. And it goes great with beer.

CHUCK SINNER, drums:
Chuck is the thunder that keeps BLS rolling. Whether it's a crushing rock beat or tasty percussion, Chuck's experience and musicianship behind the drum kit provides a rock soild foundation for BLS. Rock, punk, metal, blues, Latin - or anything else, for that matter - Chuck has it covered.
