by Mr. Buddy Guy and Dreams

by Gregg Allman

For being together for over two years, we have formed a band with a unique mixture of sound, somewhere between
Blues, Fusion and Jazz. Collectively we have over sixty years of experience. The CD was produced using the simplest of
recording capabilities to insure the honesty and integrity of our music. "What you see is what you get" "Thunder" the sound
you hear when God and nature wants to let you know who is still in control. "Blooze" (note the spelling) the emotions of our
music, the felling and color of our sound. "Express" the power of a locomotive that will get you where you want to go.

NOTE, we will punch your ticket for Ya! The power of expression!

"About US"

Dominic "Nik" Boutte' (pronounced Boo-Tay), Bass, Lead and Background Vocals. Nik the Bass player strums
a custom made B. C. Rich Mockingbird Bass. " "Seeing is believing". Watching the man play has been an inspiration to
me all of my life, he is my father, Nik is the THUNDER behind this band. In his early days he played in groups such as the
"Jimmy Reed-Al Butler Group", "The Drifters" and "Gizmo" to name a few. In "The Thunder Blooze Express", he sets the
heavy foundation with an attack that is memorable and filled with emotions. He plays VINTAGE AMPEG SVT equipment
today. There are many Blues Bands that are gaining popularity but in Standard Blues, you never hear a Bass player cut so
deep on a solo as in the "Thunder Blooze Express".

I think his Bass playing is revolutionary to say the least and should be remembered for years to come.
Dominic E. Boutte' II

,Background Vocals. The youngest member but still has a lot of experience behind him. Rougez Gallery, the Guy
Lee Band, and Johnny Fortune to name a few. Better know in the Inland Empire, he is also known throughout
a lot of Southern California and Orange County. He gets a lot of sound out of the small Drum kit he chooses to use.
At this moment, Lawrence uses Rogers Drums and Zildjian Cymbals.
