Rufus Lee and The Handful got its start when Greenville, SC singer-songwriter Donnie Blackwell teamed up with some of the finest musical talents in the Upstate of South Carolina. The band includes Mike Bagwell on pedal steel, Mike Merck on lead guitar, Chuck Hughes on bass, John Taylor on drums, and Blackwell himself on guitar, harmonica, and lead vocals. Their high-energy and highly-entertaining live shows feature catchy, Americana originals with a generous sprinkling of reimagined covers that range from Nirvana to The Cars to Johnny Cash that surprise and delight audiences.
