It was a hard, rainy night in Martinez, CA when The Very Bad Boys were born.
Stepping off the train with his larger-than-life stand-up bass, Scott Riggs had just returned from a grueling four-month tour of the United States with an up-and-coming country star. But things didn't work out, and Scott came home.
As he was walking down Ferry Street, he heard the plaintive wail of a lonesome blues harmonica. Intrigued, he sought the source of the sound and found, at the corner of Ferry and Main, a lonesome and very soaked Danny White, standing in the wind and rain, playing the blues. Scott was compelled to pull out his bass and play along.
Not much later, Jim Caroompas came stumbling out of College Lane to see what all the commotion was about, and heard Scott and Danny, and had no choice but to go home and get his guitar, and play along.
Over the course of the next several hours, The Very Bad Boys were born.
And so it is that these three musical refugees have remained together, performing in Martinez venues their brand of blues and soul, acoustic and electric, night and day, rain or shine.
Come see them. Then they won't be so gosh-darn lonesome. And bring a towel if you think of it.
