VERN FOWLER BAND….A groovy mix of Blues, R&amp;B and Funky Rock -A Modern, Electric, Hard Drivin’ Blues Band… Come experience THE GROOVE

In 1968, The band’s namesake Vern Fowler AKA Papa Groove, got his first set of drums and started playing in small bands in Washington state. The Northwest was a great melting pot of musical genres. Vern grew up in the same neighborhood with people like Robert Cray and Bobby Murray and the rockin’ blues has always been a part of his life. He moved to Juneau, Alaska and played for 23 years before relocating to Virginia. With his latest project (THE VFB) Vern continues to groove and keeps the Blues alive

Ralph Edwards has played bass for over 35 years. Along the way he has played in blues, rock, jazz, country, and bluegrass bands in Virginia and Tennessee. He grew up and developed his playing style in Roanoke, Virginia, both playing the bar scene and recording. He believes deeply in music as an expression of the individual spirit, but he knows it all starts with the groove. He also believes in the long-standing superiority of the Fender P-Bass.

Guitar player Scott Morese spent many years playing Blues venues up and down the east coast, from Southern Florida to D.C and New England. Scott spent years honing his skills in Chicago, Richmond, Baltimore and Washington DC. and has been lucky to share the stage and play with many blues greats…Jimmy Johnson, James Cotton, Willie “big eyes” Smith, Kansas City Red, Louis Myers and Tommy McCracken to name a few! Always inspired by the RVA scene, Scott is back playing the Blues again.

Ernest Gunaratnam is the band's "worldly influence"; he was born in Sri Lanka. He started playing piano at age 4 and gave his first piano recital when he was six. He eventually received several diplomas from the Royal School of Music in London. While still in Sri Lanka, Ernest played guitar and keyboard in a band. He moved to the US in 1986; he played in several bands in Tulsa, OK, Boston, MA, and Albany, NY. He fell in love with the blues after meeting Albany blues legend Ernie Williams.
