Chicago based STREET CORNER BLUE has been performing traditional R&B
for over 15 years. Exploring the roots from Bourbon Street to Beal Street,
Motown to Muscle Shoals, this 6 piece ensemble delights in exploring each
divergent thread and weaving it into the unique sound that is Street Corner
Blue. Each individual a gifted veteran performer, the collective sound
positively brims with excitement and grooves in a way that only years of
shared experience can produce.
The Street Corner Blue repertoire is culled from the rich variety that is
the R&B heritage. Some of the material is familiar. Some is more obscure.
Everything is presented with craft and care with each performance demonstrating
the band’s easy command of the R&B language, a respect for the material that
leaves room for twists and surprise, and most of all, a sense of adventure and
just plain fun.
Street Corner Blue has been a reliable hit at Festivals, Clubs, and Events
for over a decade. With wide audience appeal, danceable sets, and a full
out horn band presentation, fans return year after year to share Street Corner
Blue’s latest offerings.
