Based out of San Francisco, Californis Red Archibald & the Internationals are one of a kind. First and foremost this is a great Blues/R&B band. The band takes it a step further, touching on a wide range of style elements that make them truly unique.

The harp/sax driven horn section, one of the trademarks sounds of the band, is fused into many fortes: Funky R&B/Soul, Big City Blues & Jumpin' Jive.

Their original songs and their interpretations of others, draw from many musically geographical roots: Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, Mephis, Kansas City, Texas, East Coast and West Coast. You will hear many different influences! Put all this together with Red's infectious showmanship and high energy show, with the great band of Eddie Valentine (Guitar), Don Baraka (Sax), Dave Coltrara (Bass Guitar) and Scott Lamantia (Drums), you've got Red Archibald & the Internationals.

Their debut CD on Blue-Tone Records "It Just Won'y Go Away" is selling great and is being enthusiastically reviewed by the critics. Look for their new CD due out in September!
