Lubriphonic was formed by Otis Rush guitarist Giles Corey and Koko Taylor drummer Rick King. They began as a residency at Chicago’s legendary Checkerboard Lounge, where they recruited some of the best blues, funk, and rock musicians in the city for improvisational live sessions in which the kinetic energy that make a band were initiated.
The evolution from performing as sidemen for the city’s most legendary blues stars such as Buddy Guy, Otis Rush and Koko Taylor into an original group continued with another residency at northside club "aliveone". The band began touring the country in earnest n 2009.
Since this time Lubriphonic already has developed a nationwide fan base opening for such acts as Buddy Guy, Maceo Parker, Widespread Panic, George Clinton & P-Funk, The Derek Trucks Band, The New Mastersounds, Jon Popper Project, Karl Denson, and Buckwheat Zydeco.
They have four studio releases "Lubriphonic" 2003, "Super Moncho" 2005, "Soul Solution" 2008 and "The Gig Is On" 2010
