Walter
Lewis started his musical sojourn at the age of thirteen. The British
invasion amazed Walter and thereafter inspired his developing musical
style. With a blues based influence, Walter pursued a career with
rock n' roll and performed on the East Coast for many years. Later,
Walter became intensely motivated and enthralled with historical blues,
researching and learning traditional Mississippi Delta blues, and
the regional culture and lifestyle of early blues men and women. He
subsequently focused his style and craft on blues exclusively and
thereafter received an award at the Apollo Theater Amateur Night in
1998 for his performance of Robert Johnson's. "Ramblin' on my
mind".

Giff
Foster started playing bass at the age of eleven and played his first
professional gig at thirteen. While Giff played in the Advanced Project
Band in Wilton, CT, he started to lean more towards the blues roots
of rock n' roll. You can hear some of Giff's work on Davis Coen's
latest release, "Blues from the get go". Giff has also performed
in blue grass and orchestral ensembles as well as with many famous
and infamous musicians. After accomplishing excellence with both the
upright and electric bass, he has come full circle. He now fills the
bottom of Black Cat Bone.

Ed
Train began his musical career at the age of six when he heard his
first grade teacher, Mr. Greenfield, play "Puff the Magic Dragon"
and "I Want To Hold Your Hand" on the accordion. He has
been playing keyboards ever since. Through perseverance and determination,
he has mastered his skill as an accompanist with influences as varied
as Herby Hancock, Jimmy Smith and Ray Charles. His proficiency at
the keyboard is profound and his solos are awesome. Through Black
Cat Bone, Ed recently discovered the late, great blues pianist, Otis
Spann. He will never be the same again.
