Even though the lineup has changed over the years, Roomful of Blues has always been one of the tightest, most joyful blues ensembles in the world. Led by guitarist Chris Vachon since 1998 with vocalist DD Bastos out front, the eight-piece band blends jump, swing, blues, R&B, and soul, filling dance floors for over 55 years. DownBeat calls them ‘a class by themselves,’ and Count Basie once called them ‘the hottest blues band I’ve ever heard.’ The band carries five Grammy nominations and seven Blues Music Awards, and has shared stages with B.B. King, Eric Clapton, and Carlos Santana. 18+, positive ID required.
