Band Bio's Page 1
Ann spent the early 80’s traveling the U.S. singing a wide variety of music before settling in KC. After a 20+ years' absence, husband Dan has convinced her to ease back into the music scene. Ann feels very blessed to have the opportunity to be performing with the extremely talented musicians that have come together to form Bluez57. Ann’s primary influences are the easy laid back style of Bonnie Raitt, the soulful honesty of Eva Cassidy, and the wonderful harmonies of groups like The Eagles, and The Little River Band.
Dan
has been the guest of several bands
along with performing on local radio. Dan's also the founder of
Bluez57, and is thrilled to have such talented and creative members to
work with. Being a team oriented musician; Dan is happiest when everyone shares the spotlight equally.
Influences: Jason Ricci, William Clarke, & Rod Piazza.
K.C. Influence: fellow blues harp player / crooner Mo Paul.
Most Helpful Quote: Came from a conversation Dan had with Jason Ricci. When Dan asked Jason how he developed his own sound. Jason replied; "Sometimes you just have to turn everybody else off, and start listening to yourself."

Kirk began playing drums at age 8, and hasn’t stopped since. Kirk moved to Los Angeles for12 yrs, and gained valuable playing experience, which helped make him the rock-solid and versatile drummer that he is today. Since relocating to Kansas City 15 years ago: Kirk has played in several working bands and has been very busy, playing the clubs, giving lessons, as well as working freelance. In Kirk's own words: I now have the privilege of playing in a tremendously talented blues band (Bluez57). In this band I see a great future. We will most certainly bring a fresh sound and pure entertainment to the Kansas City music scene!"
