Three Great Local Blues Bands
The event will feature three outstanding Chester County blues bands. Each band will perform a set of approximately 90 minutes. It will be a fantastic afternoon and evening featuring some great blues music!
Voodoo DeVille
Voodoo DeVille is a six piece band working out of the Philadelphia area. The band was formed in 1998 by a group of like-minded guys who enjoyed the blues and enjoyed playing them even more. While Chicago blues is their starting point, they venture into jump, boogie woogie, early rock 'n roll, and rockabilly. If it's fun to play, then it's in the set list. The band has become a fixture at many venues, Community Days, and private events throughout Chester County. No matter what the venue, Voodoo DeVille is out to have some fun and share it with their audience.
Blue Plate Specials
The Blue Plate Specials are a new project consisting of some of the most seasoned musicians in the Philly area and beyond; the members having played more gigs in more bands than could be listed.
Most of the songs are band originals, and the band covers all facets of the Blues from 'Nawlins to Gutbucket, Back Porch Country, Chicago to Texas, with an emphasis on Uptown Jump and Swing.
The arrangements are hot and tight and the band is cooler than the other side of the pillow. People DANCE at Blue Plate Specials Shows.
The Porkroll Project
The Porkroll Project is hard rocking 6 piece blues band who play a high energy blend of fresh covers and originals. The music is blues, but it's done up Porkroll style. Little bit of grease, good dose of funk, whole lotta drive and grind. Throw that together with some dangerous lead guitar and harmonica, powerful organ, and rippin' piano, and you have a recipe for a night where anything can happen! The band was a semi-finalist in the prestigous 2010 International Blues Challenge, held in Memphis earlier this year. Their 2009 CD, Shake It Twice, was also a semi-finalist in the Blues Foundation's 2010 competition for the Best Self-Produced CD.
