The Aces (blues band)

The Aces was led by the guitarist brothers Louis and Dave Myers,[1] who were from Byhalia, Mississippi.

The band had several renames after Junior Wells and Fred Below joined.

[2][3] After the end of the group, it freed the members to reform as a backing band for other Chicago blues musicians, including Otis Rush, Eddie Boyd, and others.

In the late 1950s, Dave Myers switched from the guitar to the electric bass, becoming one of the first Chicago bluesmen to adopt this relatively new instrument and helping to popularize it in Chicago blues.

[4] During the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s the original Aces periodically reunited for recordings, tours, and festivals.
