Spike Sikes and His Awesome Hotcakes

Just The Right Recipe... The most frequently heard comment after a Spike's Awesome Hotcakes gig goes something like this - "No one is making this kind of music anymore!"

Like hotcakes themselves, it goes by many names. Soul. Swing. Rhythm and Blues. Jazz. Jump. It's a sound that's classic and simple, but when it's done right, it hits the spot, and has you grinning from ear to ear. Spike has spent years searching for this sound.

From the Texas blues joints he cut his teeth in to the funky halls of New Orleans, he was always studying the music, trying to find just the right recipe. It makes perfect sense that he found his bandmates in Sonoma County, a music scene that has fostered many eclectic artists for decades.
