Overview
Check out our new single "All Your Love." Click on "audio."
Sidetracked features veteran Austin bluesman Marcus Tharpe on vocals, Nathan Hanners on guitar, Richard Radbil on bass and Jamie Krueger on drums. Marcus was born in Detroit, MI but moved to Memphis, TN at an early age where he started singing at age nine. Marcus says that he was "born in Motown and raised by the Memphis sound." Reflecting Marcus' varied influences, the band's setlist contains tunes like "Knock on Wood" to "You Don't Love Me," and has been likened to a tour through blues history.
The blues is a living and ever-changing genre, and Sidetracked respects blues history while putting on a rockin' show.

I booked Sidetracked for a “Blues and Brews” event that I hosted at a senior living community in Lakeway TX. I could not be more pleased with the level of talent and professionalism. They are a great group of musicians and I can’t wait to have them back. They are a true Blues band and I was blown away by how good they sounded! Sidetracked really made our event special.

These guys are really really good! That's what I heard over and over again at my wedding! We danced , we sang with them and they made our wedding fantastic ! They are super nice people aside from being very professional musicians! I would choose them to play at my next event in heartbeat! I am so glad we choose them for our wedding!

Richard with Sidetracked could not have been any easier to work with for our event. We decided to move the band outside in a large planter area with mats to make better use of our space and they were happy to accommodate us. The music was so perfect for our event; people were swaying and shaking their hips and really FEELING the music. We look forwards to having them back in the future!

Jimmy and the rest of the band did a great job! Very professional and interactive with the audience! We will definitely have them back!!!!

Richard and the rest of the band were awesome to work with and made our Halloween event very special by learning some spooky tunes. They even dressed the part! I would hire them again for another event because they were professional but also very friendly and fun to listen to.
Party Band
We booked Jimmy T and the Sidetracked to play at a dinner we held at the winery. If you have an event and are considering booking them for it, just do it. I can't say enough about these guys. They were on time, professional, engaging and talented. They had 100 people tapping their feet and listening intently. They played a wide variety of music from Ray Charles to The Doors to Bob Marley. Book Jimmy T and the Sidetracked, you deserve it.
