Welcome to the Capital Area Blues Society

 

 

 

WHAT'S NEW??

Yup, Covid continues to make life a challenge

The latest is that the International Blues Competition was delayed (NOT CANCELLED – small victories).

The new dates are May 6 to 9.

Plan your trip to Memphis to support Hilger and Devos (duo) and Big B and the Actual Proof (band) as they kick ass and take names representing the Capital Area.

Our Beale Street Bound Send Off party will be on  Sunday April 24.  Details HERE.

Big B and the Actual Proof

Big B and the Actual Proof, 2021 CABS Blues Brawl band winners, are an inspired fusion of modern blues, roots music and psychedelic rock. Their original music features daring arrangements fueled by powerful, emotional guitar, clear, convincing vocals and a rhythm section that booms, rattles and shakes. Imagine Stevie Ray Vaughan covering Nick Cave, the Stray Cats doing Tom Waits, or Pink Floyd playing Screamin’ Jay Hawkins.

Hilger Devos

Steve Hilger and Dave DeVos, 2021 CABS Blues Brawl Duo winners, have been playing blues together for 15 years beginning with The Steve Hilger Band and also as a duo: Hilger & Devos. They were IBC semi-finalists in 2018
