Musicians

Kid Pinky- vocals, piano, harmonica

 

          Modeling his piano style after legends Otis Spann, Memphis Slim, and Pete Johnson, and his harp playing after the great Little Walter,  Pink formed and ran The Movers for 13 years. Before the Restless Knights, he also spent six years with Rhumboogie, a highly successful four piece band from Concord, NH.  KP and the Knights is Pink’s first lead vocal role, wherein he has dubbed himself “best mediocre blues singer in the world.” 

 

       Tom Wright- Guitar/Vocals 

 

         A vintage guitar freak, Tom  idolizes the masters from T-Bone Walker to Mike Bloomfield to Roy Buchanan.  He  is also an accomplished pedal steel player who is a familiar face on the country scene.  Though you won’t get him to say it, he and John Hoik played in a band called The Avantes in the 1960’s that played at a hopping venue in Sunapee, NH, called The Barn.  Frequently seen in the audiences watching those Avantes shows?  Steve Tyler and Joe Perry.

KNOQOUT!

John Hoik– DRUMS

 

         John has worked with almost everyone who has had anything to do with blues in New England.  Having started in The Avantes with Tom Wright, he also worked with The Johnny C. Band with Tom in the 1980s.  He is still a mainstay with The Skip Philbrook Band and Charlie Sawyer’s 2120 Michigan Ave.  Modelling his style after Sam Lay and Freddie Below, his minimilast, freight-train style drives anything he’s involved with
