About Mid-Nite Bourbon

Mid-Nite Bourbon

Mid-Nite Bourbon came together as a band in December 2021. Brian Olver (Palmer JCT, Boogie Chillin), Sean Peabody (Session Bassist LA/Nashville/Muscle Shoals) and Devan Bland (Punish The Scribes) formed the trio after a few nights at the Purdy's Blues Jam. Using Sean and Brian's already written originals, along with a zest for blues/rock influenced music the trio took off into the Greater Tacoma music scene with their unique blend of music they call "Outlaw Blues". Since then the trio has been in high demand for private and public shows and are working on their debut album scheduled for Spring of 2024. Notable reviews from industry professionals have described Mid-Nite Bourbon as "America's Contemporary answer to Cream", "Raw, passionate and no regrets", and "Absolute magic on stage" Regardless of venue or crowd size, Mid-Nite Bourbon always delivers a captivating performance full of fun and astonishment
