A lot of great things are happening for Epi artist Michael "Jr" Tash and his band Bad Influence. The band were just nominated for 3 Wammie Awards (Washington Area Music Association) including "Best Blues/Traditional Group," "Best Blues/Traditional Instrumentalist" (guitarist Michael Tash), and "Best Blues/Traditional Vocalist" (vocalist Bob Mallard). And if that were not big enough, the band will be playing the world-renown John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts on February 4. The performance will be broadcast live at www.kennedy-center.org.
