Strictly For Kicks formed in 2001 when given an opportunity to open for Karen Tyler at a private BBQ & Blues event. SFK has grown up as a band with energy, charisma, talent, and a strong and loyal following. Now performing at a variety of venues in California, including Blues Festivals, Brewfests, private events, and big-name clubs, SFK is thrilled by the enthusiastic response of dancers and fans at their shows. Although slow and soulful songs find their way into the mix, SFK’s specialty is high-energy, danceable music with an emphasis on fun.

The highlights for the band for the past three summers have been their appearances at the Northern California Blues Festival - formerly known as the Fair Oaks Blue in the Park - which annually attracts a crowd of over 2,000 people. There they shared the stage with Chris Cain, Joe Louis Walker, Daniel Castro, Zakiya Hooker, The Ford Blues Band, Shana Morrison, and a host of other great bands. And SFK has made this festival their second home, as SFK is the *only* band to be invited back to the Northern California Blues Festival three years running - and SFK has already been invited back for a fourth appearance in 2008! More recently, SFK headlined B.B. King's Blues Club in Hollywood for a sold-out Saturday crowd.
