THE BLUES VULTURES was a dream realized in 2002 by guitarist RONNIE YOUNKINS, known from the Hagerstown/ Baltimore Atlantic Recording rock band KIX, and drummer AARON ISAACS, joined by bassist ZAK MABIE and reinforced by additional guitar player RICH MOXLEY Bringing with them not only their original roots in rock ‘n’ roll but also the best songs offered by a variety of artists ranging from Chuck Berry, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The New York Dolls, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, T. Rex, David Bowie, Alice Cooper, Kiss, Bad Company, Lenny Kravitz and Johnny Winter to Stevie Ray Vaughan, ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Steppenwolf, in a blues roots based tradition, like vultures picking at the blues, they are picking through decades of blues and rock history. They define themselves as a classic rock band, a decidedly modern term for any band that plays no frills rock ‘n’ roll.

Entertaining audiences with sets of original songs and classic rock covers, THE BLUES VULTURES, well established in the Tri-state area of MD, PA and VA, will cover the spectrum of rock ‘n’ roll, giving audiences something they will remember.  They have also toured extensively in New York and Los Angeles.  THE BLUES VULTURES finished their first studio album in September 2005, Cheap Guitars & Honky Tonk Bars.  In an age in which theatrics and image are used to compensate for mediocre (or even downright poor) music, it’s rare that one can see a stripped down, no frills classic rock ‘n’ roll show. However, that was precisely what THE BLUES VULTURES treat their fans to at every show.  What separates THE BLUES VULTURES from other bands is the tightness and raw talent that the band displays.

THE BLUES VULTURES were featured on Rock'n'Roll TV in an episode with The Blessings & Share  Ross, filmed at The Dragonfly/ Hollywood, CA. The question is posed, "What on earth are you boys playin'? The blues?"  The answer is “We’re playin' some blues, but we're a rock band!”  Their second CD, Picked To The Bone, released June, 2013, THE BLUES VULTURES showed versatility and true musicianship and did not disappoint their fans!
