Little Memphis Blues Orchestra

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Little Memphis Blues Orchestra (also known as L.M.B.O. or LiMBO) is the band formerly known as the Taylor Hicks Band. Taylor Hicks played in this band before he won American Idol in 2006. The band was initially formed in Alabama, but has since based themselves throughout the Southern United States, and later (after American Idol), to nationwide. The band features Brian Less on keyboard/piano/vocals, Sam Gunderson on lead guitar/vocals, Mitch Jones on bass guitar, and Zippy Dietrich on drums/vocals. The band has toured the United States during the American Idol concert tour, playing numerous after-parties which sometimes feature Hicks on stage, along with Hicks' friends and fellow American Idol finalists, Elliot Yamin, Ace Young, Bucky Covington, and Chris Daughtry (they, along with Hicks, make up the top five men).
