Sweet Sixx & the Wild Pack

Sweet Sixx and the Wild Pack are the exclusive host band for the Blues Against Hunger Society, The BAH Holiday Toy Drive Show and for the Boogie Circus a cabaret dinner dance show.

Wild Pack is as the name implies, "Wild" in the sense of always changing, always adapting. Sweet Sixx and the Wild Pack lineup changes region by region, and always features the top local and regional musicians. Wild Pack is led by Sixx on guitar and vocals and Sweet Pack on bass and back up vocals. Sweet Sixx plays as a duo; two guitars having fun playing the blues, jump blues, swing, and rock. Their music is personal, passionate and always fun.

The Origin Story of Sixx

From Sixx - I am often asked "why am I always sitting when we perform?", well it's not because I am lazy, although I am, but it is not the reason. The reason, as my wife Rachel likes to say "you're broken".

When I was in my mid 20's I was the victim of a hit and run. I was run over by a car, and actually declared dead at the scene and had my body covered. Fortunately, while being put in "the wagon" vital signs were found. I had both my legs and ankles broken, my pelvis crushed, a busted sternum, and my right clavicle was virtually turn to dust from being crushed. As a doctor told me later, "my right side is held together only by tissue, not bone.

I was told I would never walk properly again, but with sheer determination and a ton of physical therapy I was able to get off a walker and start doing the "6-Pack Shuffle", as my friends called it, (at the time my nickname was "SixPack").

I Love The Blues

I LOVE THE BLUES. I have been a promoter my entire life, promoted my first festival at 19 and never stopped, more than 30 years later and literally hundreds of concerts later, none of the music or concerts I produced changed my life, other than to put food on the table.

Until 10 years ago, when my wife Rachel and I were asked to help promote the San Felipe Blues Festival, back in 2007. Then we were asked to help start another blues festival in Rosarito Beach Baja. 8 years we were involved in promoting blues festivals. Then 2 years ago, on the suggestion of two wonderful musician friends of ours, Pancho and Sal Pace, we started performing blues ourselves.

I never would have thought a music that was in its prime before I was born, would alter my life and my own future in such a profound way.

Thank you to all the musicians and especially the blues musicians that we have come to know and love, you have brought much passion and joy into our lives and have changed our lives forever.
