JD’s Final Shows – Nashotah Clubhouse 9/10-Painted Parrot 9/11
Sep 2, 2010

Hounds Tooth vocalist/guitarist JD Optekar has decided to leave the band to spend more time with his family. He is an original member of the group he will be missed. His final shows with the group will be at two of our favorite venues, Friday, Sept. 10th at Nashotah Clubhouse at 9pm and Sat., Sept. 11th at The Painted Parrot in West Allis at 9:30pm. Come on out for a good time, some high energy Soul Rockin Blues, and to compliment J.D. on his fancy jeans and colorful shirt one last time!

Vocalist/Guitarist Joe Kadlec will be fronting the group going forward and we are in the process of hiring a fourth member. Joe’s polished vocal delivery and fretboard flurries have been impressing crowds since he joined the group.

About Hounds Tooth 

Hounds Tooth is earning accolades across the Midwest with their high-energy show of modern blues. With a set list rich in modern blues, original material, and blues-rock numbers, Hounds Tooth’s Soul Rockin' Blues appeals to a wide range of audiences. Hounds Tooth has opened for national acts including Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Shannon Curfman. Additionally, they have appeared at some of the top blues festivals, blues rooms, and local festivals in the Midwest including: Big Bull Falls Blues Festival; Prairie Dog Blues Festival; Nothin' But the Blues Festival; Paramount Blues Festival; Summerfest; The Slippery Noodle; BB’s Jazz, Blues, and Soups; Blowtorch Blues Society; River City Blues Society; and River Rhythms. Released on May 19, 2010, Hounds Tooth’s CD, Soul Rockin (Tweed Tone Records), is a guitar-driven, modern blues album that focuses on original music with a few high-energy covers added to the mix. The CD has been receiving some great early reviews: "Hounds Tooth is no longer under the radar. Their new CD, Soul Rockin, will push this band into the fast lane of the blues world, keep your eye on these guys!" - Scott Gregory, Entertainment Director, River City Blues Society. Hounds Tooth will tour throughout the Midwest during summer in support of their new CD playing festivals and some of the top blues rooms. "In a mostly live recording, the band does 7 originals out of ten tunes in real journeymen style. Rockin’ stuff with fine playing, good vocals and a good sense of how much is enough. They throw down with tunes that nod to Slim Harpo, George Thorogood, Robben Ford, and Freddy King…and rock it up while they’re at it. Adept and fun. Genuwine dancin’ stuff. Not for Morning Mix." - Cathi N. - WFHB 91.3 FM Bloomington, Indiana. Hounds Tooth is a member of the Grafton Blues Association and WAMI.
