Description:
The Barnburners with Big Harmonica Bob is an Electric Blues band based in Orange County. We play classic Blues by artists like Buddy Guy, Albert King, Albert Collins, and many more, plus our own originals.


Band Members:
Back in 1997, Scott Hudson had a dream to form his own electric-blues band. Hudson, a classically trained musician who had crossed over to the blues, wanted to bring back a lot of the old, classic blues tunes by artists like Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Albert King and Muddy Waters (to name a few). Hudson wanted only the very best musicians to fit the sound that he was looking for. He started out his quest by recruiting Duke Cullinan, who had been a mainstay in the blues circuit, and had been jamming with the greats for years. He knew that with Cullinan as his guitarist, he’d have a great foundation to build around. Cullinan brought in his old friend Big Harmonica Bob Knouse, who really filled in the sound with his wailing, old-school blues harp sound. Next on the list, Hudson needed a partner in the rhythm section. After much trial and error, Hudson finally brought in Rick Murphy. Murphy had cut his proverbial teeth in the music business playing with bands such as The Bel Air Bandits, who were the back-up band for recording artists Jan & Dean. Murphy was looking for something a lot more bluesy, and The Barnburners fit that to a “t”. Last, but certainly not least, a powerhouse singer was needed to complete the ensemble. Hudson experimented with a few singers, but couldn’t find a singer that fit the sound he was looking for—until Joe McGaha showed up. McGaha was born in Spain, and his international background in music added a new color to the band, along with a passion that the other members shared for the music. Once complete, the band wasted no time in learning the classics. The Barnburners are tighter and hotter than ever. In the blues world of the new millennium, there’s no denying that The Barnburners are a force to be reckoned with. You can find them belting out the tunes throughout the Southland.
