A TON OF BLUES


BIO:
Taking a modern, aggressive approach to the old school blues format, A TON OF BLUES burst onto the New England Blues Circuit in the summer of 2010. With a sound reminiscent of Buddy Guy backed up by the Fabulous Thunderbirds, they play with a passion and drive that makes you rumble like a runaway freight train while you fumble to buckle your seat belt. They were voted the Best Blues/R&B Act at the 2011 Worcester (MA) Music Awards, won the 2011 Boston (MA) Blues Challenge and are now headed to Memphis (TN) to compete in the 2012 International Blues Challenge. The band has made it a priority to create quality Blues music, emit a positive presence among the Blues community and rekindle the support for American Blues and Roots music. A TON OF BLUES has shared the stage with Johnny Winter, Guitar Shorty, James Montgomery, members of Roomful of Blues, the J. Geils Band, the Blues Brothers and many more. Look for their new CD coming out after the first of the year followed by an East Coast tour in late Spring of 2012 and a European tour in late Fall of 2012. **Voted BEST BLUES / R&B ACT at the 2011 WORCESTER MUSIC AWARDS **Winners of the 2011 BOSTON BLUES CHALLENGE **Will be representing Boston when competing at the 2012 INTERNATIONAL BLUES CHALLENGE in Memphis, TN "May the spirit of the blues bring you peace & strength to carry on !"
