PATTERNS AND TONES

I had been looking forward to seeing The Savoys for quite awhile, since their guitarist George and I had been in a band together for many years.

They had everyone up and dancing last November at The Redwood Bar and Grill for Asia Muka  Afternoon Action along with The Katellas , Mike Willamson, The Nuclears and Johnny Travis Jr. The following interview sheds a bit more light on this rock and roll trio from Long Beach.
