II BIG has been performing their original hard rock for years, opening for national acts such as Foghat, Loverboy, and Ricky Skaggs. Based around guitarist/songwriter Eddy Ottenstein, the band also consists of guitarist/singer Aubrey Hansen, keyboardist Tom Hansen, bassist Steve Lamun, and drummer Ken Ingels. Ottenstein performed for years as a touring musician with Van Morrison, Boz Skaggs, Steve Miller, and the Grateful Dead, among others. The band's popularity in touring circles has made them favorites among fans of classic rock, and they have continued to release albums bearing the vintage rock sound that has made them such a reliable live act. ~ Bradley Torreano
