Andy Lamdin - Guitars - my drug of choice.  I've been playing in bands for almost 50 years, and currently also play in the trio Amerikana Blue.  Influenced by the Beatles, Stones, Clapton, Steely Dan, well the list goes on.  I've wanted to play since I was 4, when I saw Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee.  Music is my happy place.  Guitar therapy is really what it is, keeps me young.  Every time I pick up a guitar it's an experiment of tone, feeling, melody.  What more can I say?  Cheers!

Dan Whittemore - Dan began to play drums and study music when he was nine years old.  His main focus was jazz.  As a perennial participant in the Berklee Jazz Festival in the late seventies, he developed a natural feel for dynamics and playing “in the pocket”.  He started gigging at 15, playing jazz standards with cats three times his age.  When he applied his jazz influence and attention to dynamics to a a funky, bluesy style, while working as the beat keeper for Barefoot Bob and the Monkeyfish, Dan earned the moniker “Freight Train of Rhythm”.  Still, his favorite compliment: “You play the drum kit like a musical instrument”. ______________  

John Nicholas Ditcheos - After growing up in Vermont and spending several years as a professional musician my wife and I settled down and raised our family on our farm in Vermont. I spent a few years, and still enjoy painting Vermont scenes on sap buckets, lids and canvas. I enjoy farming and sugaring.  In 2019 I spent time writing and recording original music and released my first solo album, The Coming of The Storm in December of 2020.  More info at jndart.com.   I am really enjoying playing with Livin' In The Blues, we have a great chemistry and it' so much fun when we get into a long jam.  I am excited to collaborate with these guys on our original music together as a band.
