Buddy Reed and The Rip it Ups

Local blues and roots-rock favorites led by veteran guitarist Buddy Reed, who came up in the '60s San Bernardino blues scene and played with Canned Heat and in Little Richard's band before fronting th' Rip It Ups. The band delivers low-down blues, shuffles and roadhouse rock at The Basement, the bar and nightclub on the ground floor of Jacoby's Storehouse just off the Arcata Plaza.
