The band has played in the Youth Showcase at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis several times. Band members come from Hot Springs, Malvern, Nashville and Caddo Gap.

 

Lee Langdon,known as Lightnin’ Lee, was part of the duo of Lightnin’ Lee and the Upright Rooster who won the Solo/Duo competition in the 2004 International Blues Challenge. Langdon has played around Hot Springs for a number of years as a solo artist or as part of a band. His original music, vocal range and guitar abilities make Langdon one of the Spa City’s finest treasures.
