CHICAGO 9 RHYTHM & BLUES BAND

Formed from friendship and mutual musical respect the band has been playing regularly since 2002 and has become a firm favourite wherever they play.

Led from the front by skilled guitar and saxophone interplay all driven by a solid backbeat & superb vocals.
The band play their own arrangements of varied Blues classics & less obvious covers along with some good old school Rhythm & Blues with a touch of Rock’n’Roll for good measure.

These guys feel privileged to have collectively or individually shared the stage & opened for Blues Greats
