The Willie J Laws Band is one of the notable Blues acts of the region with a modern funky style that’s uniquely its own. The band’s sound includes deep Texas roots music, add some funk, and jazz influenced bass patterns, and the influence of various Afro-Caribbean drumbeats, a genre-bending sound tempered with a groove from Motown, Memphis, Muscle Shoals, the Gulf Cost of Texas, and New Orleans. This isn’t strictly Blues; much of it is original music with its own sound and tempo. You will enter the Willie J Laws Band musical train, as it travels a varied terrain with its assorted musical sounds. It’s an exciting, fast-moving train and you will most definitely enjoy the ride! Come hear the “The Last Prophet of the Funky Texas Blues.”
