Ross Neilsen and the Sufferin Bastards are an old school band in many ways, but they ain’t-yo-grand-daddies-kinda blues. The boys are coming off their 3rd cross Canada tour, hoisting a nomination for 'Best New Group' at this years Maple Blues Awards, and they need your help this Xmas. They're hosting an online bottle drive to cover the $12,000 cost of heading to Zebra Ranch studios in Mississippi to record with producer, Cody Dickinson (North Mississippi All-Stars, Hill Country Review). Donate the proceeds from your 'empties' at www.rossneilsen.com this holiday season and keep the blues alive!
