Fronted by brothers Dick and Dave Pruitt on bass and electric guitars with former Paladins drummer Michael Cherry, the Bel Airs play a danceable mix with an eclectic bluesy-country-soul-and-rock-n-roll sound influenced by the likes of Wilson Picket, Slim Harpo, Howlin' Wolf and Johnny Cash. The Pruitt brothers' harmony vocal style sets them apart in the contemporary blues scene leading one reviewer to refer to them as the "Everly Brothers of Blues".
These are photos from concerts where The Bel Airs played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
