The Thunder Bay Blues Society (TBBS) is pleased to release the band line-up for Blues House Party 5 Saturday March 23 at the DaVinci Centre. To celebrate the 5th edition of the Blues House Party series, we will feature 5 bands all under one roof for one evening only! Doors will open at 6:00 pm and the music will start at 6:30 pm. Food will be available for purchase when doors open and available throughout the evening, so bring your appetite along with your dancing shoes!
The evening will kick off with the debut TBBS performance of Deb Tully fronting veteran local blues band Southern Comfort, followed by vocalist/harmonica player John Booth and his Southside Band! John is also known locally as the host of CILU radio blues show “How Blue LU” every Saturday from 10 am - 12 pm.
Keeping the house party going will be The Chain, a band that is well known in Thunder Bay and always packs the dance floor. Following that up will be the first Blues House Party appearance of Junior and the Bifocals, who finished second at the TBBS “Highway 61 to Memphis” Blues Challenge held in June 2023. The band is also known in town as the JB Band, but will be getting back to their blues roots as Junior and the Bifocals.
Closing the evening will be Voodoo Blue, who opened Blues House Party 4 in 2023 and recently expanded their band to a five-piece unit…and they may also have some special guests towards the end of the evening.
All TBBS members will be eligible for an exclusive reserved table pre-sale before tickets go on sale to the general public. That date along with ticket price (which will also be discounted during the reserved table pre-sale compared to the general admission price) will be announced in early February….so stay tuned!! Get your blues crew organized now and circle Saturday March 23 on your calendar…Blues House Party 5 promises to be an evening you will not want to miss!!
