Ole Frimer (guitar & vocals) Uffe Steen (guitar) Morten Brauner (bass) Claus Daugaard (drums) The blues has traveled well. A music that developed in America's rural southern states.

The influences are Chicago blues and Texas blues filtered through Johnny Winter and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Whatever, Junction plays its own blend of these styles, making the music uniquely their own.
