For nearly half a century, Roomful of Blues has been delivering its signature blend of swing, rock ‘n’ roll, jump, blues and R&B to euphoric audiences all over the world. In celebration of their 45th anniversary, Roomful of Blues is touring to support the release of their new live CD, 45 Live. For the recording, the band hosted a three-day party in March of 2013 at one of their favorite haunts, The Ocean Mist, in Matunuck, Rhode Island. They packed the club to capacity, playing to roaring ovations each night. The resulting album, 45 Live, is among Roomful of Blues’ crowning achievements.

“Doing a live record is a natural for us. The best qualities of this band come out in a live setting. The audience reacts, people dance, and it gives us energy to play at our best,” says Rich Lataille, the senior member of Roomful of Blues.

45 Live, produced by bandleader/guitarist Chris Vachon, features fourteen songs (over an hour of music) spanning the entirety of the band’s history. The tracks were carefully chosen by Vachon, who included some of the group’s best known originals, like Dressed Up To Get Messed Up, Turn It On, Turn It Up, and That’s Right!, as well as tunes the band had previously recorded or performed with blues giants Joe Turner (Crawdad Hole), Eddie “Cleanhead” Vinson (Somebody’s Got To Go) and Earl King (It All Went Down The Drain)

Special Guests: Tommy Z band will open the show
