Debuting in early 2022, Mid-Nite Bourbon was born from the need to take blues music in a new direction while keeping the traditions of classic power trio bands and adding a unique Pacific Northwest twist. Mid-Nite Bourbon is the fierce guitar work of Brian Olver, the bong rattling bass of Jesse Turcotte and the competent drum work of Devan Bland. Wherever the stage Mid-Nite Bourbon will provide top shelf entertainment and a high energy performance every time!
