Big Medicine Gang was a hard act to follow after shredding to a bootie shaking packed house at 320 South in Breckenridge Saturday. Afro Zep's guitar player told me that they didn't even want to take the stage because BMG had set the energy level so high! - KSMT Radio - Johnny Brokaw

Bio
Big Medicine Gang’s high energy original sound is a combination of Blues, Funk & Reggae styles that conjure an old school sound from the days of Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac, to Sam & Dave and Led Zeppelin, with a healthy dose of beach sounds like Sublime and Wailers. While not a “Jam Band”, followers of the genre will find another great vibe and sound with Big Medicine Gang & when joined by The Weapons horn section, jamming may ensue, but these jams are all Rock Steady Ska & Funk.
Formed in Breckenridge, Colorado, the Gang’s members include Seth Strickland (Indica Gypsys, Subdudes family & side projects) and Grammy winning engineer and keyboard player Gragg Lunsford (Pat Metheny Group, Steve Jordan, Sausalito Record Plant, Snoop Dog & more)
