The result was keep. Listed for 13 days with no arguments for deletion aside from the nominator. I'm going to interpret Uncle G's comments as a "keep" so that gives us a week consensus. (non-admin closure) Ron Ritzman (talk) 23:43, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Keep per Uncle G's sources and WP:BAND criterion #1. I also added one from the Sun Journal that verifies that band has opened for B. B. King, Chuck Berry, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and the J. Geils Band. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 20:35, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
