Bass-player Gene Schwartz is one of the old-school veterans of the area blues scene. He was a familiar face in area clubs for decades, anchoring the Schwartz Brothers Blues Band, which featured his late brother, guitar virtuoso and vociferous preacher Glenn Schwartz. He also performed with the legendary Cleveland-based bluesman Robert Lockwood Jr. who played more and preached less.
Schwartz has a new band called the G-Force, a trio format like the Schwartz Brothers, which includes drummer Hank Hess, another veteran who has been on the scene since the late 60s and performed with noted players such as Mr. Stress, and guitarist Tyler Petko whose playing was inspired by Glenn Schwartz’s.
If you like classic blues, then catch the trio at the Beachland Tavern this week.
