It's been awhile since we've heard former Bostonian Ted Drozdowski's turbo charged blues duo Scissormen. After moving to Nashville some may have thought the band would lose the momentum they had gained here in the Northeast - but this is not the case. "This isn't just a band â" it's a mission," says Scissormen's slide guitar demon Ted Drozdowski. "We believe the blues is as blood and guts vital and relevant as it was when the music's giants walked the Earth, if it's played right. So that's how we play it â" respecting the music's roots, but not at the expense of its future." If that sounds audacious, you haven't seen one of the Nashville-based group's live shows, where just a guitarist and drummer harness up the spirit of the Mississippi hills and make it sound like a juke joint armada. That approach has won Scissormen fans across the US and Europe, where they've played everything from jukes to coffeehouses to blues, rock and punk clubs to major festivals including Bonnaroo 2008 and France's prestigious Cognac Blues Passions Festival.
