Delete all. Minimally sourced article about a band which makes no claim to passing WP:NMUSIC for anything -- this quite literally consists of a single sentence asserting that they exist, followed by bulletpointed lists of member and session musicians and the titles of their albums, and says nothing else substantive about them that can even be measured for whether it passes an NMUSIC criterion or not. And the only referencing here is to AllMusic -- but having a profile on AllMusic is not an automatic inclusion pass on Wikipedia in and of itself. AllMusic is a database where the only inclusion criterion is that the musician exists -- whereas our inclusion criteria require that a musician has garnered certain specific levels of media coverage for attaining certain specific levels of concrete and quantifiable achievement besides just existing. So AllMusic is acceptable as one source amid a diversity of sources, but it is not a source that can singlehandedly carry a band over NMUSIC or GNG as the article's only source. Also batching their three albums, as those will have to be automatically deleted A9 if the band article goes. Bearcat (talk) 20:33, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Delete No independent third party coverage that conveys notability. Seems to be making a claim that existence = notability. ShelbyMarion (talk) 12:35, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. Too groooovy to delete. Multiple independently notable members, WP:NMUSIC#6. International coverage
 * First two are from England. Jazz Times review . Also . Not the greatest site but Glenn Astarita is a professional music journalist. Just enough to satistfy WP:NMUSIC#1. duffbeerforme (talk) 08:03, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. It is the side project of Joe Bonamassa and backup band for him, period, full stop. I hate his music, but he, and this band, can literally fill a stadium and play on PBS during their endless begging periods. There is no other band in this genre that is as big. Ask your parental units. Bearian (talk) 22:40, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
