It's hard to put your finger on the mercurial Sauce Boss.   Somewhere between a country preacher, and an auctioneer lives a musician, a chef, a raconteur,  a purveyor of gourmet hot sauce, a songwriter, and a standup comedian.

The Sauce Boss is a powerhouse entertainer, mixing his Bluesy slide guitar and soulful voice into a high-energy show. His very own hot sauce goes into a big pot of gumbo while he spices up the show with his own Blues. He has served hundreds of thousands for free at his live shows. Sauce Boss mixes media like cornbread. Hot sauce, blues, chicken, funk, onions and okra, heartfelt songs, peppers and soul, seafood… and slide guitar, all go into the gumbo. The aroma fills the place. The crowd stirs up the pot. The Sauce Boss stirs up the crowd, and at the end of the show, everyone eats.

Bill Wharton, (Sauce Boss), is the guy Jimmy Buffett sang about in his song "I Will Play for Gumbo." Wharton’s anthem, “Let the Big Dog Eat” is included on Buffett’s “Late Night Menu at the Margaritaville Cafe” album. Albert Castiglia released his cover of the tune, and it hit #1 on blues charts. "Let the Big Dog Eat" has also appeared in the movies, “Something Wild” (Jonathan Demme), and the Rock Doc, “Jimmy Carter Rock and Roll President.” This tune and sixteen other works in the documentary earned Wharton “‘Best Original Score” from the Los Angeles Film Awards.
