Booking Blues Bands

Blues music originated in the Mississippi Delta around the time of the Civil War. During the 1940's and 1950's, blues musicians like Muddy Waters and B.B King were the early pioneers. In later years, rock bands like the Rolling Stones and guitarists like Eric Clapton were heavily influenced by the early blues musicians, and incorporated many elements of blues in their music. Blues bands are commonly comprised of a lead singer, guitar, drums, bass, piano/keyboards, and harmonica. There are many different styles of blues music often based on the place of origin. Examples include the electric sounding Chicago Blues, the guitar-led Memphis Blues, the rhythmic Mississippi Delta Blues, and the swingy Texas Blues. Other styles of blues include Country Blues, Jazz Blues, and Gospel Blues. Blues Bands can be hired for any occasion including weddings, corporate events, and private parties.
