RIVER CITY BLUES SOCIETY  EVENT

Ghost Town Blues Band
From Memphis, TN
www.ghosttownbluesband.com

Beale Street's latest success story and 2014 INTERNATIONAL BLUES CHALLENGE 2ND PLACE WINNER is Ghost Town Blues Band. Their recording "Dust the Dust" won the European Independent Music Label Award for "Top Sound" in Blues. Ghost Town Blues Band is a modern blues band with an intimate knowledge of both blues, rock and improvisational jams. At the same time, the band's raw energy and intensity is reminiscent of some of the best blues that rock n' roll has ever offered. The band can turn on a dime from North Mississippi hill country grooves to classic electric urban blues and funk. This Memphis-based, gritty, six piece has been touring the US since its inception in 2009, gaining a strong following within the Blues and Jam Band circuit.
