Description:
From the beginning, The Huey P's have had one goal set for themselves and thier music. To bring rock and roll back to the local music scene with equal doses of self expression, ultimate care for the classics and a kick ass musical party. The Huey P's started as a few friends who loved to play and quickly evolved into a project that seemed to have a life of its own. Thier onstage antics combined with a manicured delivery of musical talent allows them to remain an entertaining show with a unique song list including club favorites mixed with the classics and even todays hits. The Huey P's song choices provide an edge that engrosses music lovers and packs the dance floor allowing everyone in earshot to experience the highest form of entertainment and good times.
With work beginning on their debut CD (currently untitled), the Huey P's are at it again. After winning the 7 th Annual Battle of the Bands in Covington, Louisiana, the band immediately plunged into Ghostfish Studios with Duane Edmisten (or as we know him 'D') to start recording. Brian and Rick Strahan (yes, they are brothers) and Doug Stepanek (the stepchild) are bringing new life to the local sound. As a trio, the band's unique chemistry is fast making them a premier band in the New Orleans, Baton Rouge and the Northshore areas.
Band Members:
Doug Stepanek - Bass/Vocals A member of several recording and writing collaborations, Doug hails from Slidell, Louisiana. His influences vary from Steve Harris of Iron Maiden to the old school rhythm and blues such as Duck Dunne and James Jamerson. His vocals have been named as one of the most distinguishable voices on the Northshore. There is no stopping when his soulfull vocals and pulsing rhythms fill the room.
Rick Strahan - Drums/Vocals A veteran of the local music scene, and resident of Pine, Louisiana, Rick has performed with bands such as Savannah (with Big Daddy Owen Tufts) and Burning Blue. His drumming technique has made him one of the most sought after drummers/percussionists and has established him as a dedicated, highly respected musician. He lists his influences as Kenny Aaronoff and Neil Pert.
Brian Strahan - Guitar/Vocals Brian is currently a resident of Hammond, Louisiana and has played with local artists such as Russell Walker and Burning Blue. His driving rhythms and energetic leads add to the charisma of The Huey P's. His individualized style and sound has developed from his many influences ranging from country and southern rock to alternative metal.
