"This guy's a real blues player." - Huey Lewis of The News
“He was a major influence on shaping the Washington blues scene back then & he's still playing the real 100%, low down & dirty blues to this day." - Bobby Radcliff
“Now Bret's back. I guess I better tighten up." - Mark Wenner of The Nighthawks
"These guys play blues for grown-ups." - Bill Kirchen
Big Boy Little Band "Blues for Grownups"
The deep, deep blues. The kind of blues you used to hear on a distant radio station broadcasting from somewhere down south, late at night. The kind of blues where you wake up early in the morning and all you can think of is your lover and you wonder where they've gone. The kind of blues that makes you want to go somewhere and dance or shout or just be alive. Those kinds of blues.
Bret Littlehales “Big Boy Little” has been singing and playing blues harp in the Washington, DC area since 1967. He’s opened for such blues greats as B.B. King, Koko Taylor and Junior Wells. The Big Boy Little Band was honored to represent the DC Blues Society at the Int’l Blues Challenge in 2010 and placed in the Top 10 Finals out of 110 blues bands from around the world and Matt Kelley won the coveted Albert King Award for top guitarist.
The band also features "Wolf" Crescenze on bass and Joe Wells (drums).
The enigmatic, quixotic, mysterious, always entertaining – Big Boy Little Band.
