About Big Shanty and The Polk Street Blues Band
Enigmatic blues-rock singer/guitarist Big Shanty garnered national attention in 2007 when his album RIDE WITH THE WIND became an online sensation, thanks largely to his scathing anti-war song, “Killing Fields.” Mixing fierce guitar lines with techno beats, Shanty (purportedly the alias of A&R legend Dick Wooley) evokes the propulsive sound of 1980s ZZ Top, while making occasional forays into Southern rock. Shanty also keeps good company--guests on Shanty’s albums include blues-guitar virtuoso Liz Melendez and jam-band icon Col.
