Keith Caton & The Accelerators :: Media Information :: email : bluzboy@worldnet.att.net KEITH CATON & the ACCELERATORS :: Keith Caton, leader of Florida' s legendary BluzBusters for 13 years, left that group in July 1998 to form the Accelerators. Creating a hard driving band closer to his vision of electric blues, stripping the music to it's basic elements, passion, truth, and power, Keith's guitar and vocals dig deeper into the music revealing it's essence in nuance and subtlety without the overkill so prevalent today. With a life long commitment to the blues, and seasoned by over two decades of recording and performance, Keith has been fortunate to share the stage often with his mentor and friend, the legendary Bo Diddley, work with and learn from blues harmonica master Rock Bottom, and play shows with many of his heroes including Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, Hubert Sumlin, James Cotton and members of the Allman Brothers and Muddy Waters bands. Having toured the southeast nonstop for five years, the Accelerators are now playing over 200 shows a year at clubs, concerts, and festivals, have received critical acclaim and airplay from the release of their first CD "Long Time Comin" featuring the song "Sure Is" written by Keith and Bo With Bo singing and playing his unmistakable guitar. Keith Caton and the Accelerators are poised to move beyond 'regional' status, with reverence to tradition, bringing the blues into the 21st century. The Accelerators are in the Studio now working on the follow up to "Long Time Comin" Release slated for the end of 2003.
