THE BLUES PROJECT (Tue, 8/11/26)

About this show

"The Blues Project is alive and well, with Roy Blumenfeld leading a new, powerful lineup that also includes a band of talented musicians, including David Aguilar and Mark Newman on guitars, Tim Eschliman on bass, and Ken Clark on keyboards and vocals." Touring in 2026 behind the Blues Project's Latest Album, LIVE 2025 Back in the good ol’ days, adjectives such as “unique”, “genuine”, “influential”, “innovative”, “exciting”, “dynamic”, “incandescent,” and “trail-blazing”, were often used by peers and music critics to describe the sounds of the Blues Project, arguably the greatest relatively unsung American rock band of the swinging 60s. In the fall of 1965, The Blues Project played alongside the likes of Big Joe Williams, Son House, Bukka White, Skip James, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, and Otis Spann, to name a few. It was these legendary sold-out performances at the famed Cafe Au Go Go in Greenwich Village that eventually led to the release of their phenomenal debut album, Live at the Cafe Au Go Go. The Blues Project made a musical revolution, turning many people on to the American blues heritage.
