Experience Live Music with Central Delaware Blues Society

Kelli Baker Band 29 January

 “The Kelli Baker Band delivers soulful material predicated on stellar musicianship. Kelli’s vocals drip with sensuality. Noé Socha’s unique guitar and harp skills must be experienced because words fail to describe the virtuosity. The band is tight on and off stage which shines through in their performances.  

WILLIAM SMITH, DUNAWAYS, TROY, OH

Deb Calahan Band 26 Feburary

 "Deb Callahan possesses an instinctive feel for the blues. As a songwriter, Callahan's gift lies in bringing fresh perspectives to classic lyrical themes.

Vocally she understand her strengths a pure, resonant tone and expressive phrasing and employs them to great effect...

- Blues Revue Magazine

GeminiiDRAGON 5 March

 From the murky bayous of Louisiana, comes a fresh face to the Blues music scene. A vocal dynamo GeminiiDRAGON has channeled her love for the late 60s era and 70s blues and AOR bands/artists the likes of Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Albert King, Freddie King, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Koko Taylor, Jimi Hendrix, ZZ Top, Janis Joplin, Fleetwood Mac, Cream and Led Zeppelin and the super group Arc Angels , to name a few, into a ferocious mix of blues rock soul…. Blues on Steriods!!!

Eliza Neals 2 April

 “She sings with the power of Beth Hart, the emotion of Janis Joplin, yet the voice is still her own… Neals blends rock and blues seamlessly” American Blues Scene 2015

Nighthawks 7 May

Please come join us for a CDBS "Give Back" show to its members.  The legendary Nighthawks will be performing for CDBS members free of charge!  There is a catch... At each Jam between 5 Feb and the 7 May Nighthawk show, we will be giving out 5 sets of tickets pairs.  To get one of the ticket pairs, you have to have a valid membership, attend the Jam, check in with a board member to get a ticket for the drawing that night and win a drawing.  You can only win once for the event.  So, please check you memberships or get a membership and come to CDBS' Jams.   

Sean Chambers 16 July

 Sean Chambers  began his career in 1998 as the guitarist and bandleader for the legendary Hubert Sumlin, with whom he toured regularly until 2003. The British magazine Guitarist described him as “one of the top 50 blues guitarists of the last century.” His guitar-driven blues rock is reminiscent of greats like Gary Moore and Jeff Healey, earning him an induction into the Florida Music Hall of Fame.

In 2023, shortly after the death of Savoy Brown’s founder, Kim Simmonds, Chambers teamed up with Savoy Brown’s rhythm section, featuring Pat De Salvo on bass and Garnet Grimm on drums.

Memphis Lightning 20 Aug

Sweettone recording artist and international touring act Memphis Lightning is a force to be reckoned with.  Built up from world class and award-winning artists.  

Featuring one of today's greatest guitar slingers lightning, compared to the likes of Danny Gatton, Roy Buchanan, and Link Wray along with the showmanship of Mick Jagger and David Bowie.  With the soul and fire making him a firecracker not to be messed with, rather enjoyed from his shock and awe presence.  

Along with his father, the grammy nominated Big Red.  Who has spent years building his credibility thru touring and recording all over the world.

When you think of future legends, two words will come to mind,

Memphis lightning!!!

Tixs!

Thank You

 Central Delaware Blues Society is supported, in part, by a grant from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts. The Division promotes Delaware arts events on DelawareScene.com.

In particular we would like to thank the Delaware Division of the Arts for their support of the Dustin Douglass and the Electric Gentlemen Show and the following Jams: Jimmy Pritchard Band, Gary Cogdell Band, Marke Margolies Band, Roger GIrke Band, and Joey Fulkerson Band.  Without the musicians we would not have anything!  The Delaware Division of the Arts helps make this happen!
