Playing blues from all eras but also original compositions, there's something for all tastes. And with members of Queen Bee & the Blue Hornet Band (Mark Ross & Jack Wilkinson), call it whatever you'd like. . .but don't call it a comeback. Beginning in the summer of 2010, this band is comprised of seasoned veterans of the State College music scene and a new kid in town. The combination gives way to classic blues with a subtle twist.
