Altered Five is an American five-piece blues band from Minneapolis, Minnesota, formed in 2002. According to Downbeat magazine, frontman Jeff Taylor “sings powerfully” and “Jeff Schroedl’s live-wire guitar reaches the high bar of mixed invention and fluidity.” Blues Bytes magazine declares the group features “the funkiest rhythm section outside of Memphis.” For its fourth album, Charmed & Dangerous, the quintet joined forces with Blind Pig Records, one of the world’s premiere blues labels.
