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.
