The following is cut from Brandon Santini's MySpace page:
About Brandon Santini & Delta Highway
Coming off a big year in 2009, a year where Memphis based band Delta Highway was nominated for a Blues Music Award for "Best New Artist Debut," joined forces with BLUZAPALOOZA for two incredible shows in Cairo, Egypt and toured relentlessly across the country, founding member Brandon Santini (Vocals & Harmonica) brings in new and familiar faces to his backing band. Elliot Sowell (Guitar) hails from Texas originally and has resided in St. Louis, MO for the past several years and spent time handling guitar duties with The Rockin' Jake Band. Tom "Slim" Louis (Bass) will be returning to the band after nearly a year and a half absence. He also recently toured with The Rockin' Jake Band and was also a member of Jason Ricci & New Blood. Rounding out the new lineup is Derek Bonn (Drums) a St. Louis resident and former member of Nick Curran & The Nightlifes, and has backed other artists such as Arthur Williams and Kirk Fletcher. The players may be different but the sound is still the same on the Delta Highway!
