Edit history

The Brad Sterling Blues Project was born on the streets of New Orleans in early 2007 when travelling Australian singer/songwriter (& guitarist) Brad Sterling met quintessential Louisiana bluesman Aaron Stampley at a Bourbon Street jazz club. After this chance meeting "The New Orleans Stamp" (as Stampley is sometimes known) agreed to collaborate with Sterling on an experimental rock/blues EP dedicated to the people of New Orleans. Joined by Idaho's Shawn Doyle (formerly of Celestial Hoedown) on drums, Seattle's Boy Brown (a.k.a. "Dave The Brain") on bass, and backed by sound engineer Chris Thornton and Aaron Stampley's haunting guitar licks, The Brad Sterling Blues Project's self-titled debut EP explores the grass roots influence blues had had on modern music, and in Brad's personal life, and tells the tale of one man's musical pilgrimage from his home in Australia, via Russia and California, down to New Orleans - the "heart & soul of the delta blues and the birthplace of rock 'n'
