The CandleStyx continue to please SRO crowds at the Driftwood. Wendy Lee and Butch r Baker are drawing fans to see and hear their onstage magic. Wendy Lee channels the best Janice Joplin and Grace Slick. Butch tears up the Rock Standards and breaks new ground with his performance. Together they charm audiences and make new fans each outing!
The Band was formed in 2009 for the 40th anniversary of the Woodstock festival. Each year an incarnation has brought fresh thought and life to the music of a generation. In 2011 Butch teamed with Chuck Haelig to begin writing songs together. Chuck is an amazing songster. He is the Richards to Butch’s Jagger… the McCartney to his Lennon.
Tim Siefkes was introduced to the Band by Mick La Briola and soon with Texas Bill Noturno the original music was showcased under the name New Riders of the Purple Dead (NRPD)
Today, Tom Caspers on Drums along with Chuck and Kevin Goolden (the new kid) form the rhythm section. This completes the latest incarnation and it is blessed with bountiful camaraderie. The showmanship of the CandleStyx is palpable!
