The type of music is blues and swing with an emphasis on the Chicago and West Coast sound of the fifties. We play a high energy type of blues that is perfect for dancing.
08/23/08 BEN PRESTAGE:
Ben is a bluesman/one-man band from down in the Everglades. He's made a living as a Beale Street sidewalk performer, having shared sidewalk space with such names as Robert Belfour and Richard Johnston, and has also been voted in the top 3 bluesmen at the International Blues Competition in 2003 and 2006. His pedigree includes a great-grandmother that was a vaudeville musician who toured with Al Jolson and in medicine shows, a great aunt who was a successful Boogie pianist, and a great grandfather who was a Mississippi share cropper and is the person that added the delta blues sound to Ben's childhood soundtrack, which became the backbone of Ben's music. Incidentally, Ben is also the only two time recipient of the Lyons/Pitchford Award for "best diddley-bow player" and can sometimes be seen playing a cigar box guitar.
08/30/08 The Nucklebusters Blues Band
Over the course of its 13-year run on the South Florida club circuit, the Nucklebusters Blues Band has served as the house band at a number of reputable local venues, including the legendary Musician's Exchange in Fort Lauderdale.The Nucklebusters, is fronted by nimble-fingered guitarist “Famous” Frank Ward and Hammond organist Joe Saint, both of whose talents are legendary on the Southeast music scene. The band's specialty is raucous, Chicago-style blues, and after all their years of nonstop gigging, Famous Frank and the boys pretty much have their act down cold. Whether you are a diehard blues fan or just love great funky music, the Nucklebusters is a must when you are looking for A+ quality blues.
