Black Box Blues Bash

Regional Blues Review Featuring: Clarence Spady, MOE Blues, and Octavia Blues Harp Duo.

Clarence Spady is thoroughly motivated when it comes to his career. “Here we are in the saddle,” says the veteran blues guitarist. “I’ve got both hands on the reins right now. So I don’t plan on letting go.” Excellent news for contemporary blues fans who are well aware of Spady’s acclaimed 1996 album Nature of the Beast and his equally impressive 2008 followup Just Between Us. Clarence has been described as "the future of the blues" (Bill Dahl, Chicago Tribune). He plays with depth and sensitivity, effortlessly combining blues, jazz, funk, latin and rock into his own unique style. His moving guitar play, rough street-edged vocals, songwriting, and live improvisations are highlighted with every performance.

With Support From: MOE Blues & Octavia Blues Harp

MOE Blues is a Chicago style, high energy blues band from Lancaster, PA. Formed in 2015, MOE Blues has performed from Philly to Gettysburg and all points in between. Equally comfortable on the large festival stages as in the smaller, more intimate venues, you will never leave a Moe Blues show disappointed. In fact, many who hear MOE Blues for the first time admit that they never knew they liked the blues until they heard it played the MOE Blues way. So, if you haven't had a chance to catch a show...then it's time to catch up! One thing is for certain...we'll alway leave you wanting MOE!

Octavia is noted for outstanding vocals harmonica and guitar performances of exciting original and cover music. Memorable shows are the norm for this multi-instrumentalist. Dedicated to the music that drives this performer, several shows in her musical arsenal include The Octavia Blues Band, Infusion With Octavia Jazz and touching singer songwriter shows. Each performance is a top notch addictive engaging show.
