HOT LZ

Hot LZ is a Chicago-based blues/rock band that plays a combination of originals and killer cover songs. This blues/rock quintet fuses gritty vocals, slash-weaving electric guitars grounded in an acoustic backdrop with a romp and stomp rhythm section. If the Black Crowes, Jack White and Muddy Waters were to hit the town, Hot LZ would serve as their soundtrack. This Chicago-based crew intertwines lyrical magic connecting with anyone who can relate to love, loss and raising hell. Influences include Black Crowes, Jack White, Black Keys, Beastie Boys, Robert Johnson, Led Zeppelin, etc.

Hot LZ's lead vocalist is native Nashvillian and multi-instrumentalist Billy Joe Davenport. With his foot on the gas pedals, Dean Haage provides the rythymn, lead guitars and backing vocals. Bob Hyatt (Dr. Bobby Hyatt), also of Chicago-based Heeby Jeebies, brings the head rockin, face-grimacing lead guitar and vocals. The rythymn section features Shelby Martin bringing the thunder bass and backing vocals along with Bill Workheiser keeping it in the pocket with his ratta-tat-tat drum style.

For those about to rock …. we salute you!
