FLOYD & the FLYBOYS is a tight, soulful nine-piece band whose repertoire spans eight decades and includes a choice mix of classic covers, rare gems, and award-winning originals.  A list of band member credits reads like a Who’s Who of the music industry, including artists such as Ray Charles, Tower of Power, The Temptations, Eagles, Brian Setzer, Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown, The Four Tops, Lyle Lovett, Elvin Bishop, The Coasters, Brothers Johnson, Chaka Kahn & Rufus, Buddy Miles, The Drifters, Lou Rawls, Buddy Rich, Johnny “Guitar” Watson, Don Henley, Narada Michael Walden, Little Richard, Spencer Davis, and many others.  Carrying a 25 year track record, FLOYD & the FLYBOYS has become a favorite at countless concert and night club venues, delighted audiences at music festivals, fairs, corporate events, entertainment industry functions, and charity benefits, and has written and performed music for numerous TV and film projects, as well as the band’s own critically acclaimed recordings.

 

Respected throughout the entertainment industry and praised for its musical integrity, (FLOYD & the FLYBOYS was the #1 rated R&B/blues band in a music industry poll conducted by Music Connection Magazine), the band prides itself on polished performances, exciting arrangements, and that intangible chemistry that results in “feel” or “soul” - something that just can’t be faked.

 

Seeing FLOYD & the FLYBOYS perform, it’s clear the guys’ work is a labor of love; judging by the typical audience response, the feeling is contagious… Whether it’s blues, rock ‘n’ soul, funk, or New Orleans R&B, no one does it all like FLOYD & the FLYBOYS!

 

“When it comes to authentic live rhythm & blues, Floyd & the Flyboys delivers the goods. . ."

 

“. . . a killer nine-piece band . . . great songwriting and arranging... and a kick-ass rhythm section - with fat, sass, and sparkle courtesy of the 'Fly-by-Night Horns.'

Expect a show that is consistently solid, top-to-bottom . . . Highly recommended! ”

Community: Back to School Safety Tips from Altadena Sheriff's Station.   The Altadena Sheriff’s Station would like to remind you of some very important tips to keep your children safe as they head back to school this week. If your kids walk to school, you should walk the school route along with them to make sure it is safe or to make sure the route is well known to each child. If you can’t walk with your kids, encourage the kids to walk with a friend. Encourage your kids to be observant as they walk and be aware of their surroundings. If they think they are being followed they should immediately go to a trusted adult and alert them. If they think they are in danger they should yell “Help” or “You Are Not My Mom/Dad” and run to the nearest business or back to school.   Here are some friendly reminders for not only our kids, but everyone driving during the school year: Pedestrians Always walk on the sidewalk  Cross at the corner or crosswalk (no jaywalking) Stop before you cross, look both ways when you cross the street  Never cross or enter the street from in between cars Obey all traffic signs and lights   Bicyclists, Skateboarders, Scooters All bicyclists should wear properly fitted bicycle helmets every time they ride Anyone under 18 who uses a skateboard, bicycle, non-motorized scooter, rollerblades, and roller skates are required to wear a helmet at all times. Ride your bicycle in the same direction as other vehicles Always pay attention. Do not use your cell phone while you bike Obey all signs and signals    Motorists Expect children walking, biking, skateboarding, or riding scooters Always pay attention, give at least three-feet clearance space to bicyclists Slow down in all school zones Obey School Bus signals (red lights flashing means stop) Stay focused, do not drive distracted.
