Blue Note Napa
Spike Sikes and His Awesome Hotcakes

The Awesome Hotcakes were named “Best Blues Band” four years in a row in the Napa, Sonoma, and Marin Counties by readers of both the Pacific Sun and The North Bay Bohemian.
This band serves up a diverse genre of music blending soul, swing, rhythm & blues, jazz and jump for a classic sound. With a Texas blues influence and New Orleans flair, they offer a soulful experience, leaving audiences grinning from ear to ear.

    Just The Right Recipe… The most frequently heard comment after a Spike’s Awesome Hotcakes gig goes something like this –

    “No one is making this kind of music anymore!”

    But what, exactly, is “this kind of music?”

    Like hotcakes themselves, it goes by many names. Soul. Swing. Rhythm & Blues. Jazz. Jump. It’s a sound that’s classic and simple, but when it’s done right, it hits the spot, and has you grinning from ear to ear. Spike has spent years searching for this sound.

    From the Texas blues joints he cut his teeth in to the funky halls of New Orleans, he was always studying the music, trying to find just the right recipe. It makes perfect sense that he found his bandmates in Sonoma County, a music scene that has fostered many eclectic artists for decades.

    What he didn’t know was how hungry audiences were for “this kind of music.” You might say they’ve been eating it up like…Hotcakes!
