Burlington, Vermont’s formidable rock quintet Blues and Lasers formed in 2007. The band is the electric sonic brainchild of Scott Tournet, guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter. Tournet, currently one of Grace Potter’s Nocturnals, recruited four other players to complete the lineup and flesh out the band’s sound – forceful, swampy, blues, heavy on rhythm (courtesy of the two-drummer combo) and slide guitar. Mastering the elusive low end pulse is John Rogone, a finger bass guitarist and backing vocalist. Driving and grounding the rhythm section are drummers Steve Sharon and fellow Grace Potter and the Nocturnals' drummer, Matt Burr. Contributing songs, vocals, and guitar is Ben Yurco, a sorcerer of electric tree and dimed out fender amplifiers. Blues and Lasers incites obvious comparisons to the Black Keys and the Allman Brothers Band, while songs such as “22 Times” evoke classic Robert Johnson blues imagery about selling ones soul.
