Ten Toes Up is a funk-infused rock quartet from Murrells Inlet SC. "A jazzy mix of Allman/ Panic-style southern rock..." says the Charleston City Paper. High energy live shows keep fans dancing. With a nod to the rock bands of old, Ten Toes Up incorporates the funk of the 70's mixed with the blue-eyed blues of the Allman Brothers. The instrumentation is percussion heavy with a dual-drumming rhythm section led by bass and guitar.
The live shows are accentuated by lap steel and weissenborn tunes a la Ben Harper. The drum solos are primal and the latin grooves are infectious. During a Ten Toes Up show you will hear funk breaks, three part harmonies, harmonica solos, and a tight sound that can only be the product of hours of work. The band's songwriting is steeped in the everyday; life is a song and their trick is putting it to music.
The 2008 release of "Bridges & Breakdowns" has been greatly anticipated by the diverse fan base Ten Toes Up has amassed over the three years they have been together. This is music for everyone so welcome to the family.
