Roomful of Blues, the world-renowned, horn-powered, houserocking blues band, has been delighting audiences for over 55 years. Blues Music Magazine calls them “the best little big band in the blues.” On record and on stage, Roomful of Blues, led by master guitarist Chris Vachon for the past 25 years, continues to deliver its bone-shaking mix of original songs and carefully chosen covers ranging from jump, swing and proto rock ‘n’ roll to funky, contemporary blues. Their impeccable musicianship and larger-than-life vocals have earned Roomful of Blues five GRAMMY Award nominations and a slew of other accolades, including seven Blues Music Awards. Twice, the prestigious DownBeat International Critics’ Poll has selected them as Best Blues Band. And now, even after 18 previous releases and thousands of live shows, Roomful of Blues continues to evolve. And no one really gets your motor running like Roomful of Blues.

Roomful, according to DownBeat magazine, “are in a class by themselves.” With their masterful combination of jumping, horn-heavy, hard-edged blues and R&B, it’s no wonder why the great Count Basie called them “the hottest blues band I’ve ever heard.” The band has maintained its signature sound through great musicianship and a stellar horn section.

The current lineup is: Chris Vachon, guitar; Rich Lataille, tenor & alto Sax; D.D. Bastos, lead vocals; Jeff Ceasrine, keyboards; Craig Thomas, baritone & tenor sax; Christopher Pratt, trumpet; Lou Bocciarelli, bass; Mike Coffey, drums.
