Although physically rooted in Detroit, Flophouse's soulful mix of rock, funk, blues and R&B evokes the great music traditions of Memphis, New Orleans, and Chicago. Perhaps it's Flophouse's lead singer Victor Colon, who's smokey yet spirited voice, draws frequent comparisons to the legendary Stevie Ray Vaughan. Or drummer Brian "Super B" Smith's and bassist Paul "P-Dog" Hunt's unadulterated commitment to "funky groove rock" that has more bodies swaying then Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras. Finally, there's the polished riffage of guitarist Mike "Hollywood" Adkins - who masterfully weaves it all together into a spicy, sonic stew.
Flophouse's extraordinary sound has not gone unnoticed. Hand picked from thousands of entries, Flophouse was chosen to perform at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Festival in Chicago in 2007. Clapton's acclaimed event received massive media coverage in Rolling Stone, VH1, PBS, and more. Locally the band regularly appears at "A List" venues including Robusto's Martini Lounge, the Hard Rock Cafe, and the Magic Bag Theatre, in between gracing festival stages across the country. "We play every show as if we are playing a sold out concert at Madison Square Garden...even if it's a Jimmy's Sports Bar and Fish Fry."
