Sam Andrews and James Gurley were innovative purveyors of early Psychedelic blues-based guitar when Janis Joplin joined them in early 1966. They continued to tour and record with Janis though 1968 and were responsible for some of her best known tracks. The band appeared at the Grande twice in '68, events that are documented in poster art, photos and rare live recordings. Original guitarists Sam and James along with charter drummer David Getz continue to tour and record in 2006 and are sure to light up the Royal Oak in October.
