Missouri Blues Old And Evil
"Great Dream"
When asked the question...
"...What kind of music do you play?"
Their reply was...
"...We play music like nobody's business, and that's exactly what it is."
A Typical Sheikish Response
The Geyer Street Sheiks made a splash with their 1993 debut album, Great Dream. Released on BJAM RECORDS, a small independent label in St. Louis, the record resonated deeply with fans throughout the Midwest.
The band’s talent wasn't a secret. With the powerhouse vocals of Alice Spencer (formerly of Three Married Widows), her voice found a perfect home alongside these accomplished musicians.

FOLKFIRE MAGAZINE REVIEW
"The album's collective tunes defy categorization, as do the Sheiks themselves. This album is bluesy, jazzy, traditional... not only does it have a good beat and you can dance to it, you can shimmy, grind, swing, and sing with it!"

Great Dreams and mates have long since passed,
No one expected either would last.
So on this day we shall raise a glass,
To friend and foe, with whom together... WE LAUGH.
Cheers, P
