​Noah Wotherspoon is an absolutely phenomenal and captivating musician, who found his calling at a young age, and made a name for himself as one of the leading musicians, and blues guitarists, to rein from Dayton, Ohio.

Noah first began playing guitar at the age of 11, and by 15 he was fronting his own band, Noah and the Stratocats. Only a year after their incarnation, the band quickly picked up speed, and they found themselves performing in front of thousands at the prestigious, Chicago Blues Fest, where they would continue to appear for the next 8 years. It was in Chicago that Noah was discovered by Jimmy D. Lane (son of blues legend Jimmy Rogers), leading to the recording and release of his debut album on APO Records “Buzz Me”, featuring the legendary Hubert Sumlin.

Born from a loose East Row collective known as Love Sausage, Smokin’ Zeus emerged after years of Tuesday‑night basement sessions dedicated to shaping songs of vocalist and songwriter Bill Kreutzjans. What began as a creative hang evolved into a band built on risk‑taking, genre‑bending, and writing the kind of rock songs best paired with whiskey straight from the bottle.

Smokin’ Zeus features Kreutzjans on lead vocals and rhythm guitar; Berklee‑trained guitarist, producer, and engineer Ashley Shepherd; longtime Cincinnati bassist Greg Greene; and Texas‑bred drummer Aaron Williams. Together, they deliver a sound that’s gritty, melodic, and unapologetically fun — a modern rock outfit with deep roots and zero fear of exploring new territory.

Rick “Bam” Powell is a veteran singing drummer who did quite a bit of road work with Le Blanc and Carr, a couple of Muscle Shoals, Alabama recording session musicians. They did extensive touring, along with several national TV shows. They opened on four of the last five Lynrd Skynrd shows before the awful crash. Bam did a stint in Florida with Brutus, featuring guitarist Scott Hendersen, and then stayed down south until The Raisins called him home to Cincinnati, Ohio. Since The Raisins split, Bam has played with some of Cincinnati’s finest musicians in bands such as The Goshorn Brothers, The Bluebirds, Stagger Lee, Tickled Pink, Bucket, and of course, Bam Powell and The Troublemakers. There have been a variety of “Troublemakers,” but these days you’ll generally hear Mike Fletcher on bass/vocals, Pete Benoit on guitar/vocals, Randy Villars on sax and keys, and Bam on drums and vocals. These guys all played together, along with Lee Everitt, in The Tim Goshorn Band. Bam has recorded three solo CD’s and several discs with the above mentioned groups.
