a little bit about your new favorite modern blues band
CHRIS THAYER AND THE TCB was born in the back alleys and seedy after hours juke joints. Their high energy blend of blues, R&B and rock is a guaranteed greazy good time. Chris's new album, ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE, is available now on all streaming platforms, on VINYL and CD.
The band (formerly known as Big Papa and the TCB) has released eight full-length albums, including the 2021 live album, LOUD AND CLEAR!, as well as a "best of" compilation. All are available on all streaming platforms and on CD on the band's website.
They’ve had songs appear in television and film, including their song, "GO BIG PAPA!" being used in the national television ad campaign by Papa John's Pizza. CHRIS THAYER AND THE TCB has also garnered several awards. They won "Best Song" and "Best Blues Album" at the 2008 Inland Empire Music Awards for their second CD, 12 GAUGE INSURANCE PLAN. Their first disc, NICE 'N' GREAZY, won three 2007 Inland Empire Music Awards, including “Best Live Band,” “Best Blues Album” and “Best Song." Likewise, they were nominated for Best Swing in the 2008 Orange County Music Awards.
CHRIS THAYER is on vocals and guitar. He’s joined by original bassist and longtime friend Steve Brown on bass. Jeff Waldon is on saxophone and background vocals, Hebie Castro is on drums and Caleb Roseberry is on guitar and background vocals.
Formed in 2006, CHRIS THAYER AND THE TCB have taken audiences by storm all across the Western US with their mixture of high-energy blues, rock and old school R&B. They have shared the stage with blues legends like Robert Cray, Johnny Winter, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Tommy Castro, Coco Montoya, Fabulous Thunderbirds, James Hunter and Rod Piazza & the Mighty Flyers.
In addition to a two year sponsorship from Sam Ash Music, CHRIS THAYER AND THE TCB have signed endorsement deals with Heil Sound Microphones, Furman Sound and Levy’s Leathers Guitar Straps.
