BLUES, SOUL & ROCK’n’ROLL
“ Muddy Waters said it, you know the blues got a soul...
Well the blues had a baby and they named the baby rock & roll”
Muddy Waters - “Blues Had A Baby”
Measured Chaos takes that statement to heart. Blues, Soul & Rock ‘n’ Roll. Those three ingredients are
their inspiration, as well as their direction. The band is heavily influenced by Chicago’s classic blues, Detroit’s
R&B, the Rock music explosion of the late sixties, and they have the pedigrees to prove it.
Al Jacquez, Mark Tomorsky, Mark Gougeon and Frank Charboneaux enjoyed impressive musical
careers before being fused together as Measured Chaos. Their collective credits include; Eric Burdon,
Guardian Angel, Jamie James, Lightnin’, Mark Lindsay, Little Richard, John Mayall, John Mellencamp,
Mitch Ryder, Billy Preston, Savage Grace, Stephen Stills, The Suspects, Mick Taylor, as well as work
for commercials, film and television.
Live shows by the Detroit based quartet are a powerful reminder that connecting with an audience is
the most important part of any performance. It brings a physical definition to the phrase “substance over style.”
No histrionics. No explosions. No fake personas. Just honest, “from the footprint of their soul” performances,
revealing a life spent working to get to this point.
Measured Chaos has been touring since 2003, delighting audiences from 8 to 80. From die-hard blues
aficionados to kids raised on rap and rock, from clubs and theatres to festivals. Whatever the combination, when
Chaos plays, something good happens. With countless miles logged and 2 cds under their belts, MC is gaining
on the dream.
Measured Chaos is currently writing new material for their 3rd CD and will begin preparing to head into
the studio to record.
