On Friday, April
15th, 2005 at 9PM, the Inter-Media Art Center (also known
as “IMAC”) in Huntington, Long Island will present
a blues concert with ROOMFUL OF BLUES.
With an almost non-stop performance schedule
for the last 36 years, Roomful of Blues has earned critical,
popular and radio success and a legion of fans around the
globe. Twice, the prestigious DownBeat International Critics
Poll selected Roomful of Blues as Best Blues Band.
Remaining together for so long is not simply
a matter of survival, but rather a testament to Roomful
of Blues’ commitment to its originality and its ability
to evolve. Over the years, Roomful’s lineup has changed
but the band has always been one of the tightest, most joyful
blues ensembles in the world. Currently an eight-piece unit
led by guitarist Chris Vachon, the band has never sounded
fresher or stronger. With vocalist/ harpist Mark DuFresne,
bassist Brad Hallen, drummer Jason Corbiere, keyboardist
(and newest member of the group) Travis Colby, baritone
and tenor saxophonist Mark Earley along with long-time members
tenor and alto saxophonist Rich Lataille (the longest-standing
member of the group) and trumpeter Bob Enos, Roomful of
Blues swings with ferocity and rocks with urgency and purpose.
Their winning combination of jump, swing, blues, R&B
and soul remains their calling card.

($28.50 for IMAC Members). For tickets or further information
