A.C. Reed was born May the 9th, 1926 in
Wardell, Missouri. His real name is Arthur
Corthen. The former sideman of Buddy Guy,
Junior Wells and Albert Collins just has a
new record on Ice Cube Rec. out now.

Sammy Fender (02-16-1996)

Sammy Fender is a 54 years old guitarist
from Chicago. When you hear him playing and
singing you'll know he some one to come
around. I was very pleased to hear him on
the latest A.C. Reed album.

Avery Brady (02-16-1996)

Avery Brady is the youngest member of the
Sparkplugs. I don't know much about him,
but his appearance is very inconspicuous.
Don't get me wrong: His playing is always
straight and a tough basis for the up-beats.

Sambo is the drummer and a real show-man.
Usually he sings three songs every night:
Hoochie Coochie Man, Lick it,
Party House Blues

Kelly Connors (05-09-1997)

She seems to be a new member of the band -
she might be booked only for the European tour.
Her playing is a nice enrichment to the Sparkplugs.

Charles Edward "Ed" Wooten (05-09-1997)

Ed is the new 2nd guitarist. I saw him two times.
His playing is in difference to Sammy Fender
cleaner and quicker.

Jerry was the second guitarist in early 1996. He's a
perfect string-bender in the Freddie King style.
Don't be surprised if you find him standing on the
bar playing a furious solo.
