Tight Like That is a powerhouse, three- piece blues-based combo that rocks out on Chicago and Delta- style Blues with a frisson of good old Rockabilly to spice up the mix. Some Background In the summer of 2004, guitarist Günter Ott was performing as a solo artist in Toronto, having recently dissolved his heavy driving Blues Rock band MOJO HAND. Ott wanted to develop a bigger, more rounded sound to capture the nuances of the blues. He reunited with the bass player from his former band to perform a gig at the Parkdale Multi-Cultural Festival in Toronto and the two liked the direction the sound was heading. Soon Günter found a hot young harp player and a veteran drummer to energize the band and started rehearsing songs that reflected his love of Delta and Chicago blues along with a bit of Rockabilly to spice things up. The band – Tight Like That – currently features Lee Matrosov on bass and vocals; Bob Fitzgerald on drums; and Günter Ott on guitar and lead vocals. Occasionally they feature guest appearances by local harp and keyboard players to round out the sound. As a three piece comboTight Like That lays down a strong groove and a lot of danceable licks to integrate the various kinds of roots music into an entertaining, toe-tapping, rocking whole. The group likes to perform at intimate clubs and events where audiences can appreciate their earthy down-home style of blues combined with bouncy Memphis style Rockabilly and rootsy arrangements of songs from a wide range of styles. But in larger gigs and outdoors events they delight in cranking up and cutting loose to provide good time party music.
