Music: Memphis Rub Band

Description

Memphis Rub is a 4-piece band from Florida’s Suncoast area, performing a blend of blues and rock with a bit of R&B and funk mixed in.

The band’s lineup is “Hurricane” Gary Drouin (guitar), Scott Matzke (bass/vocals), Dan Ryan (keyboards), and David Wells (drums/vocals). None of the members are from Memphis, but they all have an appreciation for what the city represents musically.

The Memphis Rub Band performs at venues and festivals up and down the Florida Suncoast, putting their spin on music by Delbert McClinton, Tommy Castro, Ace Moreland, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, The Band and more.

The band also writes and performs its own original music. In 2018 Memphis Rub released their debut album, “Taste”, and tracks from this album have been played on local area radio stations WMNF and WSLR as well as several stations in other markets.
