Electric Rag Band or known as ERB is not the kind of band we think we know. They are comprised of two members only, Pat Cook on guitar and vocals, and Daniel Cook on drums. Yes, they share the same last name as they are a father and son band. Isn’t that amazing?

ERB was formed in 1994, and they are currently based in Tulsa. They have already opened up for various artists such as Billy Joe Shaver, Johnny Winter, Charles Brown, and many more. Aside from performing at other artists shows, Electric Rag Band has also headlined their own tour and released their own albums.
