ROOMFUL OF BLUES to Return to Jaffrey's Park Theatre This Month
The performance will take place on Saturday, October 12 at 7:30pm.
For the last 50 Years Roomful of Blues has become legendary in the Blues World. The world-renowned, horn-fueled blues band returns to The Park Theatre on Saturday, October 12 at 7:30pm.
Roomful of Blues has always been one of the tightest, most joyful blues ensembles in the world. The eight-piece unit led by guitarist Chris Vachon has never sounded fresher or stronger. Singer DD Bastos brings her sweet and soulful vocals and adds a bright new dimension to the jazzy, jump-blues musical roots. Their winning combination of jump, swing, blues, R&B and soul remains their calling card, as does their ability to fill the dance floor. Along with bassist John Turner, trumpeter Chris Pratt, drummer Mike Coffey, keyboardist Jeff Ceasrine, baritone and tenor saxophonist Craig Thomas, and tenor and alto saxophonist Rich Lataille, it’s no wonder DownBeat Magazine said Roomful of Blues “are in a class by themselves.”
With their masterful combination of jumping, horn-heavy, hard-edged blues, and R&B, it’s easy to see why the great Count Basie called Roomful “the hottest blues band I’ve ever heard.” Since 1967, the group’s deeply rooted blend of swing, rock ‘n’ roll, jump, blues
and soul has earned it five Grammy Award nominations and accolades including seven Blues Music Awards. With a non-stop performance schedule for over 55 years, Roomful of Blues has earned critical, popular, and radio success and has a legion of fans around the globe. including the prestigious DownBeat International Critics Poll for “Best Blues Band”.
