Tall Static is “cling-free blues, R&B and funk” – played by seasoned veterans with much to offer. The setlist is a potent mix of strong, danceable cover tunes, and compelling originals from band leader Pat McDougall, whose album “In The Key of Sorry” hit #5 on the top 50 Contemporary Blues Album chart and received a Cascade Blues Association Muddy Award for Best Northwest Recording. Tall Static is the core band on that release, which boasts tasty, soulful guitar from Whit Draper, and the solid grooving rhythm section of Jim Solberg on base and Ed Pierce on drums. Since Whit and Jim also sing, the musical offerings at the band’s live shows are fronted by three different vocalists for a constantly varied sound.
