American Blues Box was formed in 2006 by front-man, .. song writer Derek Davis and drummer James Pacheco. Derek and James are original members of former Arista Recording artists.

Originating in the San Francisco Bay Area, ..American Blues Box.. combines hard rock and screaming blues much in the same style as early Aerosmith. With soulful vocals, colorful story telling, wailing bottle neck slide-guitar and blistering harmonica, the band has made an extremely impressive debut..... On their new self titled 12 song CD produced by Derek Davis, American Blues Box displays their talent on the super charged slide-guitar rockers "Mississippi Mud" and "Whiskey and Water". They deliver the emotional goods on "Killing Time" and "When You Were Young", and bring home a burning rendition of the classic "Some kind of Wonderful". This first offering by ..American Blues Box.. proves the band has what it takes for a large and diverse audience..... ..

Derek .. ..myspace.com/ddavismusic.. and ..James'.. ..myspace.com/jameypacheco.. early success began when their previous band ..Babylon A.D... signed to Arista Records in 1989. Discovered by legendary music mogul ..Clive Davis.., ..Babylon A.D... recorded two critically acclaimed CDs; self titled Babylon A.D. produced by Simon Hanhart (Waysted, Killer Dwarfs, Yngwie Malmsteen) and Nothing Sacred, produced by Tom Werman (Motley Crue, Cheap Trick, Ted Nugget, LA Guns) scored three number one songs at Metal radio and reached gold on their first release. Constant touring throughout the 1990s and several MTV videos made them one of hard rock fans favorites. The band released two more CDs on ..Apocalypse Records..: "..Live In Your Face.." in 1999 and "..American Blitzkrieg.." in 2002, both well received by their fans..... Since their inception two years ago ..American Blues Box.. has spent their time performing live, writing and recording. The new CD is a powerful testament to their creativity and originality and is certain to generate a lot of attention!....
