\n\n8-4-2023
\n
\nThe Knickerbocker All-Stars \;are a group of extremely talented blues musicians who have been in the business for decades. Members of the band have played with such notable performers as Freddie King\, Robert Cray\, Marcia Ball\, Jimmie Vaughan\, Sugaray Rayford\, Duke Robillard\, The Fabulous Thunderbirds\, Roomful of Blues as well as their own bands. These are the legends of the blues community who have found their home at &lsquo\;the Knickerbocker\,&rsquo\; the historic venue in Westerly\, RI\, and you would be hard pressed anywhere to find a band with this many veteran musicians! This is truly the '\;Dream Team'\; of jump blues. \;
\n
\nTheir newest album '\;Love Makes A Woman'\; has been nominated for best &ldquo\;Soul Blues Album&rdquo\; as part of the 40th Annual Blues Music Awards (BMAs). The songs are characteristic of the ones played in the heyday of the Knick\, first done by early Roomful influences Bobby Bland\, Freddie King\, Guitar Slim\, Cleanhead Vinson and many others. And this crew reanimates them with authority. Every song on the CD was carefully selected to emulate the great blues front-men\, backed by a full horn section with bluesy\, boogie woogie piano.
\n
\nThe band includes: \;Brian Templeton \;- Vocals and Harmonica\, \;Ricky "\;King"\; Russell \;- Guitar\, \;Dickie Reed \;- Keyboards\, \;Brad Hallen \;- Bass\, \;Chris Anzalone \;- Drums\, \;Doc Chanonhouse \;- Trumpet\, \;Rich Lataille \;- Tenor Sax\, \;Carl Querfurth \;- Trombone and \;Doug James \;- Baritone Sax.
\n
\n&ldquo\;This is truly a big band sound and blues from the ground up!... Vocals are killer\, guitar and band work are supreme&hellip\;&rdquo\; - \;Smoky Mountain Blues Society
\n
\n&ldquo\;This nine piece band\, driven by the locomotive 5 piece brass section\,leave you breathless as they storm through 13 superbly arranged tracks&hellip\;&rdquo\; - \;Roy BaintonBlues Matters!
\n
\nBring your dancing shoes!! Tables will be remove to create a dance space.
