Full Black Out
Full Black Out is a seriously booty moving Southern Rock/Funk/Blues jam based outfit, born and bred in the swampy stew of North Florida. The band’s primary focus is to produce music and lyrics that will positively move it’s listeners, with a focus on good times and good vibes.
The Full Black Out experience is always fresh and original, and sure to keep a crowd coming back for more as evidenced by their ever expanding fan base.
Groovin’ drums and bass, dueling guitars, screaming harmonica, and multiple vocals make up the core sounds of the band. Add to that some unbridled creativity and a band chalk full of songwriters, and you get Full Black Out.
