Blues on the Rocks
Introducing the band members...
 |
Cheryl Bendig -vocals, guitar, booking and promotion
- ASCAP Email Me:
Lead vocalist Cheryl Bendig delivers the songs in a voice that has the raw power of Janis Joplin but the finesse of Ann Wilson"- Smith. " Cheryl has been a singer and writer since her teens. She is the primary lyricist for the band. "Vocalist Cheryl Bendig is nothing less than superb; her voice has an addictive flower child quality that recalls the great pop singers of the '60s."

Paul Bendig - bass, vocals, stage and equipment manager
- ASCAP Email Me:
Paul's early influences were 70's bluesrock bands like the Allman Brothers and ZZ Top. 70's and 80's rock songs also played a big part. When he roadied for a neighborhood band at 15, he learned about the logistics end of the show. Paul's bass is dead on and precise. "I found Cheryl and I had music in common and deided to take a chance. Now I get to make music with a great group of friends and have the time of my life." |
