Roomful of Blues is a legendary band that's now celebrating
its 36th Anniversary! Founded by Duke Robillard &
Al Copley in 1967, the band has been in continuous motion
ever since, recording 17 Albums, accumulating awards & accolades
including 5 Grammy Award Nominations, touring the world many times over,
and amazing audiences at every stop. Throughout its history, Roomful has
consistently earned and maintained an unparalleled reputation for
excellent musicianship. The band keeps a fresh edge by hiring only
the best talent available to replace outgoing alumni. Their
list of alumni is quite impressive, and the band has recorded albums
with music legends ranging from Big Joe Turner to Eddie "Cleanhead"
Vinson. Count Basie, himself, was a big fan of Roomful of Blues!
Today, Roomful's lineup is stronger than ever, with an
amazing horn section that has won 3 W.C. Handy Awards (1998, 2001 & 2002)
for Best Instrumentals. The band's most recent album, That's Right!,
has just received a Grammy Nomination
at the upcoming February 2004 Grammy Awards!
THAT'S RIGHT! "swaggers, sways and swings with energy and precision.
This is a band on top of its game." --The Chicago Sun-Times
