Shaun Duke - VOCALS, GUITAR, KEYS, MANDOLIN
Duke started playing guitar and keyboards in his early teens. He performed solo gigs in San Francisco until he hooked up with a French Algerian in Haight Ashbury. He lost the Algerian's phone number and founded the Reggae-influenced group Room Service. He was a featured singer in a Roger Corman chick jail movie and he sang and danced in COP ROCK (then immediately went back to just singing). Duke's been playing the blues ever since.
The Bossman himself, Duke is the man in charge. As its cornerstone, Duke takes his band on a colorful trip, slipping seamlessly from Delta blues to country blues to straight rock and roll. Each performance is a roller-coaster ride, at one moment Duke's smokin' leads leave the audience breathless, and in the next his soulful slide makes the grown men cry. The lyrics, melody and rhythm matter most and it's never more evident than in the heartfelt lead guitar and solid singing of Shaun Duke.
Duke could certainly quit his day job if he wanted to, but why would he want to when he's starring in movies like SIDEWAYS? An accomplished actor and master of accents and dialects, Duke makes a hearty living playing both good guys and bad guys in films and television shows such as HANGING UP, STIGMATA, THE O.C., ALIAS, WHAT ABOUT BRIAN, THE AGENCY, 24, and ER.
Shaun Duke is also an accomplished painter, whose work may be viewed here.

Lenny Citrano - HARMONICA
Lenny started playing the harp when he was a wee boy and can now take full credit for many of the Bossman's signature licks. He comes in at just the right moment and before you know it, you're begging for more.
Such a blow-hard, Lenny picks up the harmonica and loses his mind, which is understandable considering his day job. Whether he's getting whacked with a golf club by Denis Leary in SUICIDE KINGS, hit over the head with a frying pan by Angie Everhart in BITTERSWEET or punched in the face by James Caan in LAS VEGAS, if the part calls for violence, Lenny is usually on the receiving end. Lenny can also be seen in CROCODILE DUNDEE IN LOS ANGELES, IN THE WEEDS, CROSSING JORDAN, NYPD BLUE, THE PRETENDER and CHEERS, among others.
One-half Italian and one-half Sicilian, thankfully Lenny's only "connection" is to his Delta Frost harmonicas. Visit Lenny's website at www.lennycitrano.com.
