Seemingly out of nowhere, the Insomniacs burst onto the scene in 2007 with their debut release Left Coast Blues, garnering the band a 2007 Muddy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Act and a 2008 Blues Music Award nomination for Best New Artist Debut. Led by 27-year old vocalist/guitarist Vyasa Dodson, the Insomniacs now return with their sophomore effort at Least I'm Not with You featuring an explosive mix of infectious originals and expertly chosen covers augmented by special guests Al Blake (Hollywood Blue Flames) and Mitch Kashmar on harmonica, Joel Paterson (Jimmy Sutton's Four Charms) on pedal steel guitar, and Jeff Turmes on tenor & baritone sax.
