Logan’s Close
Logan’s Close is a 4-piece rock n roll, rhythm & blues band heavily influenced by 60s rock and electric blues who thrive on getting the audience dancing and providing upbeat, energetic tunes. Nothing more needs to be said for this band. If you need a comparison, think The Beatles before they disembarked in Hamburg. Logan’s Close are a band not to be missed. They could get a mortuary shaking. Having just released their first EP, they aren’t sitting on it for too long. Already back in the studio recording new material, these boys show no sign of slowing any time soon.
