In 1985, five young, local musicians got together and began playing
old blues songs in a rambling three-story house in Philadelphia. They
decided to take the act on the road as The DUKES OF DESTINY, a name
they got from a matchbook cover urging the reader to “Be the Captain
of Your Own DESTINY.” At first, The DUKES OF DESTINY PLAYED HOUSE
PARTIES IN GERMANTOWN, generating interest by word of mouth. A gig at
the now-defunct Taker’s Café in Germantown launched their public
career, and 30 years later, they are still playing some of the
hottest, most danceable blues and old school soul in the Philadelphia
area. Today The DUKES OF DESTINY REIGN AS PHILADELPHIA’s
longest-lived and best loved blues act. Featuring John Colgan-Davis,
Arlyn Wolters, Rich Curtis, Bob Holden, "Chicago" Carl Snyder and Ian
