Founder/President BRUCE IGLAUER said, “From the moment I walked into FLORENCE’S LOUNGE, sheets of distorted electric guitar filled the room. I could hear the unmistakable sound of steel on steel as a slide tore up and down the strings. Drums pounded out a shuffle beat so infectious and elemental that even I could dance to it … That afternoon I fell in love with HOUND DOG TAYLOR & THE HOUSEROCKERS."
