Red Hot Blues from the Motor City

The music that came out of Memphis, Chicago, Atlanta, Detroit and other American cities in the 40s found a new friend in the electric guitar. In the hands of a skilled axman, nothing could better convey the mournful wailing and hectic existence that was the blues. The small "combo" amps of the time were all driven by the vacuum tube. Most of them had EL34s glowing in them, heating up the already soulful sound. They supplied the warm, gritty power that give the Blues and Rock & Roll their sound.

Keeping in that tradition, the EL34s will always keep their brand of High Energy Detroit Motor City Blues "as hot as a vacuum tube".

Emanuel Young - "Live in Detroit"

The EL34s are proud to be a part of a living Detroit legends new live CD. And Emanuel Young is that legend! Whether holding court at his apartment, just a short distance away from the Motown Museum or keeping the blues alive at a few legendary juke joints around the city, Emanuel is one of Detroit's best kept secrets, he has played with some of the best in the business while developing a style all his own.

Recorded live in Detroit at The Halligan Bar, a local watering hole for the Detroit Fire Fighters, Emanuel is backed by Howard Glazer and the EL34s, and with his old school blues rhythms and a fifties sense of melody, Emanuel shines! For any blues or Detroit music aficionado, this man is a must see!
