Roomful of Blues w/ She Said

Roomful of Blues is one of the the tightest, most joyful blues ensembles in the world. They’ve been performing non-stop for 50 years, their award-winning combination of jump, swing, blues, R&B, and soul remains their calling card. They’ve earned five Grammy Award nominations and a slew of other accolades, including seven Blues Music Awards and the prestigious DownBeat International Critics Poll for Best Blues Band. The great Count Basie called them “the hottest blues band I’ve ever heard.” She Said is a local, all-female band performing original tunes from traditions of blues, rock, jazz and country music that are infused, at times, with a badass, punk vibe! According to one fan, the band encompasses “all of what makes the magic of Western Mass so enthusiastically inviting—compassionate, talented, fiercely unrestrained emotional honesty and desire, finally gathered together on one stage.”
