General B and The Wiz are an adventurous band collectively out of Decorah, IA, Minneapolis, MN, and Eagle River Alaska. By stretching rock to its very limits, they put on a live show with the energy of an electric storm and the power of a hurricane. With blues based groove guitar, power bass lines, gritty vocals, and drum fills that will burst your lungs, they strive to make music as enjoyable for an audience as it is for themselves. Their original music varies from groove rock, to blues, to grit dance, whereas their covers range from the 60's to 2012. Having performed with a variety of acts, their unique sound has let them enjoy sharing the stage with just about any genre.
GBW has played with: Mark Mallman, Dosh, Caroline Smith and the Goodnight Sleeps, Koo Koo Kanga Roo, Cory Chisel and The Wandering Sons, Zoo Animal, Tapes 'n Tapes
"While their sound is indeed evocative of bands like The Black Keys, Cream, The White Stripes, Led Zeppelin, and The Doors; it's their flawless execution and songwriting prowess that jumps out and rattles your cage like a good rock band should." -Adam Wiltgen, Driftless Music
