9/18 - The Venus Kings
The Venus Kings is an American blues and soul group based in Atlanta, GA. Formed in 2023, the band consists of Brandon Bolton on guitar, Neal Wauchope on keys/bass, Eleye Mostai on drums, and Colby Davis and Farayi Dominique on lead vocals. Their exciting blend of blues, old soul, funk, and roots music, paired with their proficiency as players, is unrivaled.
9/26 - Curtis Salgado
Curtis Salgado saw Count Basie at 13 years old, turned to his father, and said: “This is what I want to do.” He has never wavered.
He learned racism through music — Count Basie couldn't walk through the front door of Carnegie Hall — and he learned history through the records his family stacked in every room of the house. By his early twenties he was playing harmonica in Eugene, Oregon, fronting The Nighthawks and co-leading the Robert Cray Band, fusing the five genres he'd inherited: funk, soul, gospel, R&B, and blues.
10/9 - John Nemeth
Németh returned to Electraphonic in December of 2019 with his seasoned road band of young gun players, The Blue Dreamers, featuring 19 year-old guitar phenom from Philadelphia, Jon Hay, drummer Danny Banks and Matt Wilson on bass for a rowdy southern swamp roots session resulting in his 10th album, “Stronger Than Strong” demonstrating, yet again, his uncanny ability to skillfully blend retro and modern blues and soul into compelling music that is simultaneously old and new.
