You have come to the right place if you love blues. Our band is a real blues band that covers the biggest names in blues - Muddy Waters, BB King, Albert King, Eric Clapton, Steve Ray Vaughn, and others. As part of our set, we also perform blues composed by members of our band, as well as improvise a lot. We rarely grant song requests, but you never know.
The experience of having our band is like having a private concert. The atmosphere during a typical performance is electric and intimate, with dim lighting and the soulful sounds of the blues filling the room. The audience is often captivated, swaying to the rhythm and soaking in every note. It's a night where the music takes center stage, creating a memorable and immersive experience for everyone present. The band often engages with the audience, sharing stories behind the songs and inviting them to clap along or sing certain parts. This interaction creates a sense of community and a shared experience that deepens the connection between the performers and the listeners. You might even catch the lead guitarist stepping off the stage and playing amidst the crowd, adding an unexpected and thrilling element to the show.
