Blues People

  • Shanghai Jazz 24 Main Street Madison, NJ, 07940 United States (map)

Expanding our roster of blues performers, we are proud to welcome, BLUES PEOPLE! A NY/NJ band featuring KELTON COOPER (vocals/guitar), MIKE GRIOT (bass), and GENE LAKE (drums). Early comparisons to the Meters, Luther Allison, Keb Mo' and Earth Wind & Fire are starting to roll in... and the band is currently in the studio recording their much-anticipated 2022 debut album "The Skin I'm In".

Blues People: Inspired by Amiri Baraka's (LeRoi Jones) seminal study of Afro-American music, Blues People musically explores the effects of the blues on American culture on many different levels... and the belief that the band's "Neo-Blues" moniker is a modern chronicle of three real-life blues brothers living in THIS time in America... and surviving the NY/NJ-Metro landscape.

These amazing musicians will play two sets at 7:00 and 9:15, seating times are 6:15 and 8:45 for each performance, respectively. No music charge, $40 food & drink minimum per person. Reservations strongly recommended.
