About

13 O'Clock BB_6_072516
13 O’CLOCK BLUES BAND is based out of Boston, MA. Drawing on the tradition of the greatest bands coming out of Boston such as Aerosmith, James Montgomery, and J. Geils Band, 13 O’Clock Blues Band kicks it up a notch with a hard driving sound provided by an all-star cast of musicians. Guitarist/composer JON CATLER hails from Cohasset and played throughout the East Coast performing with the Catler Bros. Band before touring the world with the legendary La Monte Young. Vocalist BABE BORDEN comes out of Sterling, MA and fronts the band with the range and dynamism of a female Steven Tyler. Bassist TIMO SHANKO, a front man himself with Boston favorites Dub Apocalypse, adds his incredible style and presence, while on drums is Boston legend SKIP FISCHER, who has played in the James Montgomery Band as well as so many other great groups, and  anchors  the band with his powerful and infectious beats.
13 O’CLOCK BLUES BAND slams into the blues with a psychedelic edge and a new vision of the future of Rock. The live shows hypnotize the audience, leaving them dazed and confused with the power and chemistry and sense of discovery that is the hallmark of the most memorable classic rock bands.
The debut CD, Devils’ Dance, was recorded at the famed Futura Studio in Roslindale with world class engineer John Weston, and was released in 2018 on FreeNote Records.
The new 13 O’Clock release WorldWind is coming soon……..
